Hello, I got a email from JaGex saying that they have caught me real-world trading. I did attempt to sell my RS account on eBay before... But the name and everything was blurred so they wouldn't know. The account is mine and has always been, my friend (Who also tried to sell) got an email as well. I think it's a phishing email but you never know. Has anyone else received one? I think it's a phish because they start with "Dear Player" and not my username. Here is the actual EMAIL. Note: All links were removed just in case this is a phish.

Dear Player,

We have collected convincing evidence that you tried to trade your RuneScape account or sell your virtual items outside of the game environment.

Such real-world trading is destroying the economy of RuneScape and is in violation with our policies. Therefore any player that continues to engage in the illegal activity has no place in our community.

All of your accounts are now on our watch-list and will be automatically monitored for real-world trading. Regardless of who you are or how long you've been with us, if you continue to real-world trade we will have no hesitation in: (1) permanently banning your account from our community in order to protect the game, and (2) naming you as a defendant in Jagex Limited vs you, which is a lawsuit based on antitrust law violations that is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Civ. Action No. SANC-V13-00342-CGH).

If you decide to ignore this email and instead continue Real-World Trading, we (Jagex Ltd) reserve our rights to pursue statutory damages against you for between $200 to $2,500 per act of past, present, and/or future real-world trading in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1307(c)(3).

In addition, we have temporarily changed your RuneScape account's status.

Please fill in the following security form to monitor your account's status or to appeal the infractions you have recieved:

I took the link out. So what do you guys think? Thanks.

A quick google of Civ. Action No. SANC-V13-00342-CGH). showed no results, therefore you are safe.

Don't worry, B/S/T of virtual items if you list it as a free addon to something they are purchasing is not illegal.

PLUS - They are English, what jerusdiction do they have in the US.
