September 1, 200718 yr From the 3-4 years I've been playing RuneScape, I have not seen this scam until today. First he tried to scam me. He put up 90k for my 1k salmon then I accepted. On the second trade screen, it said it was only 900gp so I declined. He traded me again. I put up 1k but then he put up 180k cash. I assumed he wanted to try and "scam" 2k salmon now. I put up 2k salmon and immediately accepted. This is what came on the second trade screen, anyone know how it works? Hacked on January 5, 2007 --> Lost: 56.4M, Santa Hat, Purple Partyhat, Green Partyhat, Christmas Crackerpeople who get rich and do it legit like joob and I always get f'd over in the end.
September 1, 200718 yr Yes ^ I believe he did. Just another thing Jagex needs to fix. That is really clever of the scammer. I really hope this doesn't give anyone ideas :pray: Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.
September 1, 200718 yr lmao scamming salmons is what i dont understand :-k you know what, me neither... The internet: A place where the men are men, the women are men, and 13 year old girls are FBI agents. looks like WoW's interface.Were you too lazy to read 3 posts above or too stupid to comprehend it?Brothers and sisters, I have none, but that man's father is my father's son. Who is that man?
September 1, 200718 yr I've always figured it's some sort of computer program that changes the offer, because it happens so fast.
September 1, 200718 yr I've always figured it's some sort of computer program that changes the offer, because it happens so fast. They probably studied how people accept and how to accept at the perfect time :roll: Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.
September 1, 200718 yr The fact he is a scammer makes me think he has something wrong with him, then theres the fact he is scamming salmon... On topic though thats 1 coin, because the item is calle 'Coins' not 'Coin'
September 1, 200718 yr I've always figured it's some sort of computer program that changes the offer, because it happens so fast. They probably studied how people accept and how to accept at the perfect time :roll:Its a program, theres no perfect time to accept, becouse i can do it at any time and they have to change the coins ammount AND hit accept before i notice.
September 1, 200718 yr He probably has a program that removes the coins, adds 1 coin, and accepts again the second it sees another item on the screen, or the second he presses a button. And I'd say it is one coin.
September 1, 200718 yr lmao scamming salmons is what i dont understand well it sells 90ea so ppl maybe think its easier and ppl will pay less attention? who knows ppl just wnat to make money :| gwd drops:bandos:hiltx1
September 1, 200718 yr Salmons are the food that most level 20-40 F2P people use. They are relatively new and would fall for this scam more than anyone else. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!

September 1, 200718 yr Doesn't the 2nd screen flicker RED whenever a change like that is made? Still, that we really sneaky of him to remove 179,999 coins and have it show up as "coins". Dr Locust <-- Click for my blog...+2000 Total, PhD in Questing, Woodcutting, Agility, Thieving, and Firemaking
September 1, 200718 yr Doesn't the 2nd screen flicker RED whenever a change like that is made? If you look towards the bottom of the scammer's trade window, it says "Trade modified" in red letters, too. Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!) Irony: An amnesiac rediscovering they have an eidetic memory.
September 1, 200718 yr Author i think i know wat vapour merches now? lol if not... stupid bloody scammers. atleast u didnt get done this time :P Nah. I bought 7k Salmon for like 250k over a year ago. I haven't used them and f2p bank space is limited, so I'm deciding to sell them.

September 1, 200718 yr Unless they have mastered the skill of right-click > remove-x coins > enter the number to leave 1 coin > then enter and accept trade very quickly. You can hover over Accept as you press enter to accept the remove-x coins. 99: Agility 28/12/14|Thieving 20/03/15
September 1, 200718 yr well if he did change the offer to 1gp, why does it say coins in plural? and why on earth would someone scam salmon? [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it. I own. http://linkagg.com/ Not my site, but a simple, budding site that links often unheard-of websites that are amazing for usefulness and fun.
September 1, 200718 yr Most singular items on runescape are called plural, even if they are one. Don't ask me why, but that's the way it's set up... :|
September 1, 200718 yr Hmm withdraw 1 gp from your bank and what does it says? Hey Nicrune007 , Whats Your Username? 99 Ranged on 2/6/07 99 Hit Points on 9/5/08 99 Defense on 26/4/08 99 Attack on 14/2/09 99 Strength on 25/2/09 99 Slayer on 13/9/09\:D/
September 1, 200718 yr The "Warning Trade Modified!" thing isn't enough. What they need to do is disable the "accept" option on the 2nd trade screen and make it activate automatically only after the 2nd trade screen has been present for 5 seconds. This will force both players to check the screen and make sure the trade is right. Pretty much what Dragon said.Thread terminated.I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator? No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post.
