I have many friends in RL (obviously), but only one of them plays RS. I can say that he is truly trustworthy since he made me a member (lol, he owed me for doing him a big favour and msn'ed me saying that i was now a member permanently) Anyway we've known each other for awhile, even before we discovered that we both play runescape, and he's the only person on runescape that I can truly trust. I think, that people who get scammed by their RL RS friends need to find some better friends (no offence).
