lsc_sg Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 My sister was alchemying in edge, suddenly a guy approached her and said he could let her get 4m in 10 mins. My sister planned to ignore this kind of normal scam, but she wanted to see how the guy is going to scam her, so she added him and listen to his [cabbage]. The noob said"Im going to quit rs and im giving out some items" "but b4 i quit i would like to take a video of me killing a person with santa hat" "u can wear nothing but only ur santa" My sister was curious how can he scam, since she thought the auto retailiate bug is already fixed. So she decided to follow that guy but also with auto retailiate off. They went to wild, and that guy took her down to about 10hp. the guy said "oooo lag" and stopped and then he dropped something on ground" my sister right click on it and it says "dragon medium helmet", "glory amulet", "death rune" and "chaos rune" The items are noted and the scam is obvious. My sister suddenly have an idea, she find me and told me about the scam. I quickly switch on my laptop and load a world. Meanwhile she pretend to lag and said she would "restart her comp" and then she log out. I load another world and she point me to the position that guy brought her, i logout and load her world. Then she login, the guy is still waiting for her there. She saw a note and she told me to login. My sister thought that he would drop all 4 items like last time. I login and picked the note up... o it was only 4 glories... too bad really. He didnt drop his d meds this time. But, this is a successful counter-scam.

Chaos_Reborn Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 counter scamming isn't something right. If someone already does something bad, don't do the same to them. Let Jagex take care of this instead. And this should be in general p2p because of the items. I wouldn't call this a scam, just a lure. He takes advantage of a main human weakness - greed.

goblinmatt12 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ive heard about these but I dont really get it. Whats dropping the items do?? Distract them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwarewiz Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 no what happens when u die that u keep 3 items. As santas are worth 1gp general store price ; when u die any 3 items (could even be bread) get ahead of ur santa in terms of what u keep when u die. after getting to 10hp the guy kills u and u drop ur santa :( ive quit because of the dumb side of the RS community, not because i play too much (like 1 hour a day) dont get lured!

Smile Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ive heard about these but I dont really get it. Whats dropping the items do?? Distract them?? the stuff he dropped are all worth more then the santa hat (in the general store), so she picks them up, he kills her, and he gets the santa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Skill Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think that people who try these scams are really dumb. Because they can go bad in so many ways. What if the person did bring food and tele runes? They get down to ten hp. Eat. Grab the noted items, and then tele out. Simple as that. Then the scammer just lost some, most likely, good items.

KCHughes Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Uh, wait a minute: He drops a D-med and a glory ammy. You have only a Santa hat. Couldn't you take the helmet and the ammy and be done? :-k the russians are the best! Hands down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_nappy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 they were noted, thus it was very likely there was more than 1, so she would pick up 4 or more items, leaving the santa as the most worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_sunny Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 "Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right" right you are, counter-scamming still has the word 'scam' in it. Let jagex take care of this situation next time. :notalk: By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it.

ishepp Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Picking up something he dropped isn't scamming. Nor is telling someone the location of a dropped item. This seems completely fair to me. Refering to this, in the bit about item scamming: if someone picks up an item that you have dropped....this is not item scamming So just take your glories/dmed/mystic tops and get out of there. Personally, if I get a membership, I'm gonna get a whip and brag about my newness, so I will be picked on and get some free stuff from scammers :mrgreen: 89/99 farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutter1988 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I know its kinda a scam in a way, but its still pretty fair. Its basically pkin, u tryin to get wot ppl have, stuff like this is done all the time. Weather u dress like a noob get ppl to attack u then put on ur best pkin stuff and murder them gettin full rune or wotever. At no point r u actually lying to them, so not really a scam. Your simply using the way the wilderness works to ur advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pick the stuff up, it's your own fault. Well the question is will Jagex act? And besides if you do counter-act it discourages people. A person trying to take advantage gets taken advantage himself. Like forum text games much?um... from... MARS, yes, in the third county from the... left.
