12bigo12 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 So i was buying Big bones in world 1 Varrock west bank saying buying all big bones, I get a few offers all ok. The some one puts up 50 big bones and i put up the money, im in a rush so i dident check the second trade screen. When the transaction was complete i saw 50 bones, not big bones but bones, in my invntory. I cant report the guy cause i dident see his name and also its world 1. So i lose 13k. That guy scamed me for 13k, I mean if your going to scam some one do it for something big, or just dont do it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intriguing Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Some people scam because they've been scammed recently. They want to retrieve their losses. Others enjoy the thrill of it. And of course, others just want the money, no matter how insignificant that amount of money is. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurodon Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 That trick got me for 1.5 Million, luckly the scammer thought i was stupid and came back for a second try and accidently put up 5k dragon bones instead of 500 big bones, he also forgot to change them and i walked away a very happy man. God I was over the moon, he than threatened to report me and soon logged off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lode Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I got scammed a while ago for 350k because some guy put up 386213 coins in trade screen and suddenly he changed it to 38623 coins and I didn't see it. Next time I'm gonna watch better when people don't put up round numbers.

Strikernin Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I was showing a bunch of REALLY new people why armor trimming is a scam when this guy walks up and says he can trim armor. I trade him a black full helm and tell him to trim it. He runs away, proving my point that armor trimming is a scam. But, all he got was a damn black full helm... sheesh...

neogeo0823 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 lol, i saw this thing for defusing the armor trimming scam. have a piece of armor in your inventory along with its trimmed equivalent, for example, a black plate and a trimmed black plate. if you see someone who is doing the armor trimming scam, run up to them and offer the non trimmed armor, then, on the second screen, decline and say "oh, wait, i figured it out, see?" and then either offer the trimmed armor in a trade(decline of course, this is just for showing them) or wear it. see if theyre amazed. I couldn't care less if he was Andrew Gower himself, I just don't like arrogant smegheads. *in the voice of the comic book guy from the simpsons* best. quote.

Merre Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Scamming doesn't necessarily mean they want to rip off hune amounts of cash. I was scammed ages ago for 25K, a guy sold me an iron long instead of rune coz he did the "oops misclicked"-trick... Off course when they repeat this trick 4 times a day they make 100k without doing a thing. Dunno, if I would become a scammer I would mainly do it for the fun of fooling people :twisted: 2016 goals: all skills +30mil xp - Completed this goal 11th December 2016 2017 goals: get at least 3 more master capes (start xp: invention done@21st Jan, mining done@2nd April & ranged 76/104mil done@June 20th) & all skills +40mil xp (done 24th August) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 It's a small trade, so you think nothing of it. but if he scams 10 ppl a day, thats a free 130k a day for like 20 mins work (on a f2p world anyway) and in 100 days that could be a free 13m.

GulfKid Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I've never been scammed before..no one's ever tried. My friend at school said how the other day he was trading fletching materials for bows to sell to alchers, but the guy put UNSTRUNG bows instead of full bows so my friend had to waste like 200k on strings to finish them all. He walked away with like 5 hours of lost time and 100k, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron5140 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I know RS advise everyone to avoid the 2nd screen xploit scammers use, but they could easly fix the problem where high amount are concerned i.e. 1000000 = 1m 1300000 = 1.3m etc and so on Or they could input a line in there programming that says "WARNING THE OTHER PLAYER HAS CHANGED HIS OFFER" The end of scamming, for good, unless your really stupid enough to continue that is. http://www.draynor.net/stat/black/male/ ... on5140.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderg_cid Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 lol. can't blame sum1 else for the laziness of not checking the second screen. well then again that was only 50 bones. what about 200 bones? that could yield earnings of 52k. and then you can buy more, and more, and then it's like compound interest. so there you go.
