mrscrounger Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I was in varrock buying full zammy some person switched the zammy plate to rune plate and start laughing after it happens.

Well back to the drawing board to earn another 750 k.. another week or two... :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingkid Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 To ruin the game for themselves and everybody else. Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

Evil_Sabre Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 because there are people like you who are easy targets as they never check the second trade window, you are at as much fault as the scammer, you were the one who completed the scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadmike Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 :shame: They are people who believe that all they will lose is an account. Not really much if they want to make the game look bad so you'll stop playing. They are the people who understand "If I do this what will I lose? My life in jail? A fine?"

firsttsurugi Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 they scam because they know that us, being human beings, are too stupid to realize that we are being scammed until it's too late. happened to me once, but it wasn't as serious. i was only scammed outta 40k and that was the only time. Currently will be using my Oni Tsurugi account to attempt to get 99 on all free skills without spending any gp, just for the sake of doing so.

ZxColdEye Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I think the people who are scammed are just as bad as the scammers. I was about to make a topic on this but I won't waste anybody's time with that. It seems every 5 seconds you hear someone complaining about "Oh I just got scammed out of 10m" or "sorry I can't pk with you I got scammed for 4634872 dollarz and a pony". Sure, it's horrible for people to attempt to cheat others out of their money, but THAT'S WHAT THE SECOND TRADE WINDOW IS FOR. How in god's name do you make a 10m trade and NOT CHECK THE DAMN WINDOW? "Oh look, I was going to buy a gold rune plate, but there is no (g) next to it, I wonder if there is anything wrong with this? Oh well I'll trade anyway, must be a glitch". DURRRRR \ =D> \ =D> Complaining about scammers is cool, but complaining about being scammed is not. I lose all e-respect for any person who falls for a trade scam. It's such a cop-out excuse.

mario_sunny Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 You could use my behavioral stages of runescape players, most people when they first play this game view it only as "some other game"- and not what it truly is- a large, complex community. They have nothing to lose, because they literally just joined, and therefore try to scam other players for easy money- because perhaps they cannot find a good way to get money. As for the higher level scammers, I think they're either quitting runescape, and as a last stand they just scam like crazy and get banned, or they're just idiots. By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

Thus Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 some guy told me he would make me blue chaps (i just went fast on a whim) he logged after i traded the materials. i had more hides, but i reported him anyway, since he was a noob and deserved to be banned. ppl scam b/c they are lowlives, especially those who scam and think they wont get in trouble.

mrscrounger Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Oh well, atleast you learned from it. Next time check the second trade window. I usually check it and double check it and I trade a lot. But this one time it slipped past me somehow overeager I guess. Well whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Why? Fast and easy money ofcourse That's also the reason to many bad things; Luring, scamming and begging too... Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 To the oringinal post, no, they do NOT care about other people's work. They care about themselves only and being able to spare time by scamming instead of working. No solution to this, just learn to adapt to new kinds of scams. You're being watched.
