Magic_Miner Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 There is alot of ppl around trade scamming, last night i was trying to buy full rune, someone with a weird name like "2 d k 4" traded me, he put up full rune, then he took away the rune plate and put up a mith one, i declined and tried to report him, it was hard to report him because his name was like this: 2[2 Space]k[3 Spaces]d[1 Space]4 Watch out for ppl with weird names like this. This morning 3 ppl with those kind of names tried that on me, it took me a while to get their name right in the report abuse thing but i got them. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos_Reborn Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 No, I don't think Jagex can actually do something about it, since if they swap a for example noted rune long to a steel long, it's the same as if they're selling a steel long for 20k. Is selling a steel long for 20k against the rules? That's why there's the 2nd screen. And no, if you accept the trade you still can't report them, you've just accepted to buy a steel long for 20k, and noone has done anything wrong.

knight10071 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Doesn't help, jagex have no evidence that he tried to scam you, only accepted trades are shown in the snapshot.... :shame: This is absolutely not true, Jagex sometimes gives evidence, I once saw a piece of "evidence" for a banning of someone, in there there stood things like So, they will see it, the question is whether they have time to read the reports or not...

Still, if they say "Selling rune long, 20k" and in the trade swab the rune for a iron, they would be scamming!

Cypress85 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Doesn't help, jagex have no evidence that he tried to scam you, only accepted trades are shown in the snapshot.... Lie. No, I don't think Jagex can actually do something about it, since if they swap a for example noted rune long to a steel long, it's the same as if they're selling a steel long for 20k.

And no, if you accept the trade you still can't report them, you've just accepted to buy a steel long for 20k, and noone has done anything wrong. Why are you protecting the scammers? When you quickly swap a rune long for an iron long without the buyer knowing, thats scamming. If the person told them they wanted to sell the iron long for 20k, they would just say that instead of tricking people into paying for it without them knowing! :shame: i once saw ruby and ash in the wildy, thought it was a santa hat.

Chaos_Reborn Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 This discussion about the evidence thing isn't leading anywhere, if anyone is very interested in it, why not send a mail to Jagex and ask them yourself and get the most accurate answer? The intention of the author of this post was to tell everyone to be careful about weird names, that can either make your reporting harder, or make you misuse the report button since you typed in a wrong name. To counter that, Jagex should in the future have a report message button that's right clickable next to a person's message, like they did with the "add friend" thing. What do you mean by protecting the scammers? Have you ever heard of defense lawyers? I am not supporting them, I am just saying some things in their defense, they might be selling several items for 20k, not just a rune long, and Jagex can't really prove that because of the 60 second limit. If it wasn't that case, it's classified lying, and as far as I know lieing isn't reportable at all. There are fake drop parties, and "tricking" people into the wilderness, aka lures. And sorry, you can't change items in the 2nd trade screen, so the victim will always know unless he's unattentive. Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots.
