dberg20 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 To anyone who believes this isn't a scam, read the rules on the runescape website. What are some examples of item scams? Some examples of item scams are: * * Offering an item and then removing the item within the first or second trade screen. * Offering an item and changing the agreed price within the first or second trade screen. * Misleading players by providing false or inaccurate information, for your own personal gain. * Luring players into the Wilderness under false pretences. But what false or inaccurate information is there? It isn't any harder than two clicks to do what you should do to prevent a "scam", and I wouldn't even call it that.

Riptide Mage Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I like this scam, they are so eager to get you to accept that they don't realize when you remove your good items from the trade and they hit accept anyways, so I end up with free food and something else, and they get some cheap junk. Profit so far from scammers: 400k + 4 dragon battles + glory I vote keep trying it on me :) You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level.

elmo_killer6 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It's not so much a scam as it's abusing the stupidity that can be found in most scapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prankster_King Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I've got to say, that's one of the saddest scams... For one, why would anyone show their inventory to some random noob because he said so? And why in God's name would you click accept? #-o I don't think such a pitiful attempt should even be called a scam. :lol: [bleep], my parrot has better grammar than you.{Author of Tip.It Times article}{Founder of the F2P Bankspace Campaign}{Interviewed for the Gielinor Tribune}{F2P Bankspace was ACHIEVED!} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just put a bunch of lobsters up in the trade screen, and the other trader was stupid enough to click accept. :roll: [bleep], my parrot has better grammar than you.{Author of Tip.It Times article}{Founder of the F2P Bankspace Campaign}{Interviewed for the Gielinor Tribune}{F2P Bankspace was ACHIEVED!} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tired_souls Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 you guys may call this scamming but i think its really cool. like seriously every new scam that comes into rs just helps you guys be smarter and not be so stupid.. like if u fell for this scam then your an idiot.. i think u shouldnt really report the ppl doing this because its not a scam Jagex has "ALWAYS" stated to read the second trade window if a trade is to good to be true.. so stop complaing, suck it up and be smarter... and try not to be a noob/idiot/moron/stupid or w.e to fall for this..

dberg20 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It's not so much a scam as it's abusing the stupidity that can be found in most scapers. Quoted for truth, and sigged. This sums up our argument or antithesis that I've been trying to build against this debate, that this is however not a scam, but abusing stupidity.

You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you?
