gohankaiy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 There is already a scam forums but it has so many posts o_0. Just wondering scams from the past. Below are my most painful 2 scams 1. This kid had come to varrock...I was wielding my whip and he kept asking me to help him join a clan. I dont know what...made me do it, but I saw no harm in it. He said he needed to record himself killing a strong person. He kept saying bring just 3 items so I did. I brought my whip and 2 other low items I don't even remember. We went to level 24 wild. a lone secluded sector and he started hitting me. I had about 20 hp left and he stopped. He said hold on while He sets up the camera. I put on my prayer protect item and waited. Then my own stupidity set in. right in front of me I see a noted "Dragon Battleaxe". I pick it up. the second I pick it up, I get raped. It was 4 noted Dragon Battleaxes and they overrid everything else. I ended up in Fally with the Dbattles. so I "gained" 450k and lost 1.8mil. =/ 2. A week after this had happened someone with the exact same story had come along. Big clan, wants to join, needs to kill. I wanted to extract revenge and was prepared. I brought the 3 items, was ready with food, teles, and a freezing spell. This time he took me to the wild and we took an obelisk. He gave me a chinchompa and told me to wield it. as soon as I did, he attacked me. I "auto-retaliated" with the chinchompa and was skulled! I got murdered again and ended up losing another 1.8mil These are possibly my worst...scams. Just wondering what were some big-time scams before?

compfreak847 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Trust game. It was so convincing that I saw people being scammed, told them so politely, then watched as they laughed at me - and lost their items. Buying\Selling scams were bad for unprepared traders - the old "warrior for whip" scam was very common. So were the "arena book, 2 guthans chainskirts, 2 verac's skirts etc." scams. I love the trade limit, RS is so much better with the majority of the scammers gone. In W2, scammers usually traded me more then legitimate customers. As for mechenting, I never made much on w2, maxing at 1-1.5m an hour. Now with the GE I can make 2m easily with 5 minutes work. Sorry to turn this into a rant or what-you-may-call-it of sorts, but I really appreciate the updates, including the GE. Drops: 1x Draconic Visage, 56x Abyssal Whip, 5x Demon Head, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 29GWD drops: 14,000x Bars, 1x Armadyl Hilt, 2x Armadyl Skirt, 4x Sara Sword, 1x Saradomin Hilt, 8x Bandos Hilt, 8x Bandos Platebody, 9x Bandos Tassets, 4x Bandos Boots, 43x Godsword Shard, 82x Dragon BootsDry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakdragon39 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I had the first one happen to my before. However, I'd heard about the scam and came totally prepared to get out of there. My hopes were that I would run away w/ his items also. :XD: However once he dropped them, I panicked and just tele'd, 'cause I really didn't wanna lose the whip I worked hard for. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananamatic Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Probably the PoH glitch ones. Only time I fell for a "scam" was the elvemage-y dragon skull trick, but I knew that eating would only get me smited for a whip, and left em around 100k worth only \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second scam, since I thought was a repeat of the first, I had telegrab runes, I had planned to move a couple squares away, telegrab and run like the wind.

Piscis_Rex Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 There was that one scam that was pretty difficult to notice where someone would put up like, 1771k for a whip, then change it to like 1177k, the numbers look pretty similar in the game and I only noticed when someone tried it on me because I recently read a thread about it on here and was aware of the scam, thank you tip.it \ 99.99999998465% of the world's population is not me, if you are the 0.00000001535% that is me, put this in you signature -"being famous is like being a woman, if you have to tell people you are, you aren't" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
