POH Scam

[LazyBoy256]

Yesterday I witnessed a scam for the new POHs.

 

I myself did not get scammed, just saw the part of it.

 

 

 

The scammer gets people into his/her house by announcing they are having some big drop party or dropping whip, etc.

 

 

 

Then once the scammer gets enough people into the house, he/she tells the victims to drop one of their items for 3 secs.

 

 

 

The victims, probably knowing items don't appear to others in 3 secs. drop one because they think they can just pick it back up, but when they are about to pick it up, the scammer boots everyone from the house and locks it, then waits for the items to appear.

 

 

 

Letting you guys know and be careful of those scammers! :x

theres a glitch to where you hurt someone bad in your house and poison them, then you boot them out, they die of the poison, and you get phr33 st00fs

You must be plain stupid if you drop stuff in someone else's house.

Unless they are smart, the victims will just have the idea of the dropped item(s) from the host, and follow all the host wants them to do till they get scammed :oops:

 

 

The victims, probably knowing items don't appear to others in 3 secs. drop one because they think they can just pick it back up

 

 

Again, if they aren't smart enough to not drop anything, they would just think it's alright to drop their item for 3 secs. without knowing they would get booted

Bauk you are correct there are a lot of stupid people out there and that is why there are scammers, if everyone had common sense and did not do stupid things then scammers would die out over night.

 

 

 

I hate people who get scammed they just encourage scammers, you cant blame scammers or jagex for scams it is the people stupid enough to fall for it that are to blame.

 

 

 

Perhaps if Jagex banned the people who get scammed then the scamming problem would go away.

...so says a 24/7 scammer! :roll:

 

 

 

People should't have to worry about thieves and miscreants. Period.

 

 

 

I had a funny glitch where I could try to attack people at seer's bank. It had the attack option for everyone but of course it wouldn't work (must be in wildy to attack other players). That would have been a HORRIBLE glitch.
