I_Fly_High_G Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 This is just a scam I came across while in w2.. I think someone got scammed by him.. He says he is giving you free sharks (or other items) and tells you to show ur invent to see how many he can give you.. You, happy that you're getting free sharks, don't realise that YOUR ITEMS ARE STILL IN THE TRADE BOX, and you accept, both times and you notice your items are gone and you get a couple of sharks in return.. I've seen this scam around the duel arena.. People ask to max on them and they give you sharks but you show them invent.. etc.. 99 Crafting acheived 31/01/0899 Strength acheived 17/12/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreameEgg Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 when I started this guy gave me a full iron set (I was so proud of myself) and me and him became good friends. About two weeks later so girl asked me if I wanted my armour trimmed (didn't know the scam back then) so I did i gave her 250gp aswell, that was a big sum of money for me then :wall: . So when she runs away from me I PMed her and she didn't answer back. So I ask my friend who gave me the armour for another set and he got real mad logged off and I have never seen him again lol.

Fairness Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 1. He prolly just put you onto your ignorelist... 2. He got mad over an iron set? I think you were less newby than him. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blosssom2581 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Rofl^ This guy tried the account giving scam with me: he gave me a level 94 account, which was a good f2p pker btw, but it was completely empty. So I looked at recovery questions: check. I knew that he'd hope for me drop trading stuff to the account, so instead I started advertising random porn websites that came to mind in the middle of Varrock, and finished it up with some nice "fok u nub" and armor trimming scams. (For the sake of safety, I did it from another computer) He will be wondering about why his account has about 17 blackmarks :ohnoes: lmao. You've just taught him a hard lesson I've been playing for 3 months, and I've met many scams, like item swapping scam (a iron scimmy swapped for my rune one), turning 8800gp to 3800gp, and put up a pile of junk to distract one... But most likely, they're spotted by me as I know the setup of these scams already. Anyway, all of the scammers did suffered. Anyway, stay smart and avoid those 'too good to be true' trades, and you'll be safe Currently taking a break from Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSethzX Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I was trying to sell a santa on forums and this guy PMs me and says I'll trade 3.5k Unid Ranarr for it? I calc it and decided lets see if i can mooch more off this guy. So I ask for 4k Unid Ranarr, and he said ok, then I said, wait, you could be scamming me! He says dude use anti-scam, I'll give you the extra unids. So, I took the unids, then I had a hunch that the stack of scam herbs would appear in the slot where my santa was. It would've worked -BUT- at the time I had 2 santas :o, so I noted both and put up one. The anti scam came through, and it said I didnt have inv room. I said, wow, nice scam though, he says scam? But then he tells me to follow, and on the way I ask so, what herbs were you going to scam me with? He's like they were ranarr, but then he trades and shows me a guam leaf. Then he tells me that he had been scammed a purple phat, and I believed him since he was a 110, but I still reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Then he tells me that he had been scammed a purple phat, and I believed him since he was a 110, but I still reported.

jewboi0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Remember the old "jagex censors your password" scam? Well that was obviously made redundant by the pasword blocking update from Jagex. Well, this week i saw the latest alternative to this; jagexs doesnt let you say ur pword backwards look ********!!!!!!!! Obviously a fool-proof scam designed by an evil genius. --==7,452nd to 99 Woodcutting - 22/08/07 ** as a free player.**==-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
