I have been trying to work out if these are some sort of open redirect spam or if they are something else.

They are links pointing at one of my sites numerous pages that look like this when you check them through GSC.

If they are open redirect spam I think there is a way to stop these phishing sites from using my sites urls.

I'm not sure if it is another type of spam but they are building up and it can't be good if GSC keeps showing them going up in numbers to the point of being 30% of my link profile.

They seem to eventually die within a few months and all that is left is runscape page telling you how to set-up but GSC keeps them in and doesn't seem to pick up that they are dead.

If you have any idea please educate me.
 
I don't know if I posted this at a quite time but one more time just in case anyone knows what this shit is please?
 
I don't know if you are getting a neg SEO attack as I am not an expert on this. I would disavow the links and try to see what their source is from if you can.

Just a thought came to my mind. Are you using a nulled theme or nulled plugins? Try scanning your site as well.

Maybe your site is hacked, that happens sometimes if you're using WordPress...

I don't think it because they only show as links in GSC and I have scanned my site a few times.

I think it is some sort of open redirect spam where they show my domain url as a link but it redirects to these phishing pages.
