Almost Got Scammed? Want To Tell Your Story? Post It Here!

[cubfan]

Now, if your smart, you have a bank PIN and deposit all of your items in the bank every time you log off. Thus, the most a scammer can do is move you around like a puppet

 

 

 

The scammer could get angry and get you banned

[dragonwar233]

i got a story:

 

 

 

One night im like tired and almost falling asleep on the keyboard.

 

im trying to sell 1k lobbys for 250k. this guy comes up he is a low lvl and offers 250k. but to bad for me he change the moeny to 25k and i didnt see it. so i lost tons of money .

 

I was mad and fished 1k more lobbys the next day as fast as i could.

[Misi_a_k]

Yestereday some "jagex" pm me that they have bug on my file and they just need my pass and bank pin to fox it... so i reprted him twice :) 3 and 5 and.. also i get scamed few times during gem cutting :( .. so now i only trade cuts 4 unucts, and i watch second trade screen carefully

[The_Bacon_Man]

You guys should know the trust game by now - I witnessed a guy scam 5.7 million off of 3 guys. The ironic part is, I was telling them not to do it the whole time. Nevertheless, I was on my level 15 account instead of my lvl 73, but sometimes you need to listen to the lower leveled players. ...And don't trade saradomin / 2 million gp to a guy for nothing... morons.

[Ash_Two]

Lol. The trust game is bad. I "trusted" one gp. Then, according to the guy who was the scammer, some guy was dumb enough to give him about.. 100k. Can't remember it clearly but it was about 100k. Sad right? The trust game is usually near Varrock west bank, very crowded worlds.

 

 

 

(Off topic: If anyone wants me to trade any cut sapphires, emeralds, or rubies for uncuts, I'd be glad to. But I only have a few gems now... :lol: )

well, 2 weeks ago, i was walking in varrock when this noob comes up to me and asks me if i wanna play a game for 3 mil. "hm" i say, as he actually did show me 3 mil gp. so i go to this secluded spot, and his "friend" shows up. little do i know that that friend is that same guy.... only his main, on a different computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so the "Friend" goes up and tells me the rules to the game, which was to offer up the highest amount of gold. like a bid. then, he says the offer started up at 30 k . so i traded him a rune scimmy. he accepted, then did the strangest thing. he actually gave it back. so we go higher and higher, to the point i offer up my full sara, he said i won, then logged out. so i'm like....."wha?".... one hour l8ter i just realized i was scammed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

please dont fall for this scam people!!

Just turn area sound off. It is the three dish icons.

 

 

 

Reminds me, I need to turn off area sound while PKing. I thought some dude did bug abuse in the wild because he entangled me, then I hear ice sounds. I thought he was blitzing me, so I just start TBing like crazy. lol

LOL you were crying.

[Geordiequeen]

The most obvious scam is that they trade something eles instead of what theyr'e telling you. I have never fell for this myself but a few of my friends have. My advice is on the first page click what their trading because it tells you what it is and on the second page read carefully because they may have changed it.

[The Dark Lord]

Not sure if they guy was scamming or just trying to mess with people and get their hopes up, but here:

 

 

 

Dude: Buying 400 bs - 1.2M! Good freakin' deal!

 

" "

 

""

 

Me (on PM): Meh, I'll sell it to you to shut you up.

 

Dude: Since no one is selling, I'll pay 1.3m

 

Dude: I'll come to your world. (Does absolutely nothing.)

 

Me: I hate scammers like you. *Ignores him*

[stonebake]

[Kenshinjapan]

I was buying mage logs awhile back for 950k ea when a guy pm's me selling them for 800ea. (knewing it was prob. a scam, I was supersticious) So Itele to cammy and he trades me 1 noted mage log, takes it away, then puts it up again. And he takes that one away and puts up the 8k willow logs :roll: . So I report a said he was a bad scammer. His excuses:

 

1.I lagged

 

2.I pressed wrong button

 

3.I got scammed earlier

 

4.They were really mage logs and now I'm gonna get banned :anxious:

And honestly, I HATE immature kids like you who will scam someone else just because you got scammed. I'm sorry but quit making the game worse for everyone else. :evil:

[Corondo]

i almost get scammed everytime i merchant buy sometimes these people succeed.Ive been scammed out of just about 12+ million gp.Sad for me watch every trade very closely now.

[poopsydoopsy]

I lost 10k once. Lessons come cheap to noobs. Always second screen. :D

[linnea338]

[saskiasnow]

I have been nearly scammed twice.

 

 

 

This n00b wanted my obby cape for a blue freemink and I thought ok, I am in a generous mood I will do it. They put up the cape and take it off, they keep doing this for ages and we both finally except. She had only taken the cape and wanted my obby cape for free! I was in a generous mood, after that......no chance.

 

 

 

The first time I nearly got scammed was a 'mod' pm'ed me and tried asking for my password, then he said his dad worked for jagex and could make me lvl 99 at everything...... hahahaha

[The_Unknown]

I remember when I was trying to merchant Coal a while ago. I thought this guy was buying Coal for a good price(200 ea), it turns out that he was an item switcher. So the first time, I get scammed but I don't notice until the second time. The second time, I catch him switching and then I decide to take out some money to make it even. Eventually he got confused and we were both at the second trade screen with the offer in favor of me, but I declined because I didn't want to look like I was the one scamming.

[Corvus]

i was trying to buy a magic log at arodune bank when some guy pmed me asking "hey do you have any extra accounts?"

 

i said " i do have some nood accounts if thats what you mean"

 

he said" can i have one?"

 

i said "no"

 

i report him for account trading

 

he said " you won the player moderator lotery, you will become a mod if you give me your pass"

 

i report him for password scamming

 

i replied"omg are you that stupid?"

 

he said" why would i be stupid you just won the player moderator lottery"

 

i said "<----- look"

 

he said"if you give me your pass you'll become a player moderator"

 

i said"omg u noob i am a moderator already"

 

lolololololololol

 

the scammer didn't even notice the white crown even when i pointed too it.

[cmistom]

[cmistom]
