Something quite peculiar happened today. I was walking near the woodlands south of Falador City when a level 85 in the Skeletal Costume ran up to me, and offered to trade the account he is on for my full set of gold trimmed Wizard Robes. Without ado, I reported him and informed him I had done so, and he immediately went into a noob-calling frenzy, and ranting about how he didn't care about this account since he does not play on it. I pointed out that considering it is level 85, he does play on it to some degree. He proceeded to flee the scene at that point.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My point is this: who on Earth hatches such an obvious Scam Plot with a level 85 character?

Who scams at 85 combat? Stupid people and those who stop caring about their accounts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or just people who were hacked.

Yea maybe he was hacked and they were trying to get this guy banned.

If he was then why would he care about getting reported?

Poor guy :( . All scammers are.

ya some scammers are pretty stupid expesially ones about the rs2 beta scam...they dont even notice there playing rs2 :roll:

People not from the RSC period probably don't know that the RS they play is, actualy, RS2.

 

 

 

Good for those from classic, bad for others :

Here are four potential possibilities:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.) Someone who's quitting RuneScape and only has that account. In which case, the money ends up in your hands again.

 

 

 

2.) Someone who says they are quitting RuneScape, and only has that account, and therefore scams you out of your hard-earned gp.

 

 

 

3.) Someone who stole another person's account, but doesn't want to keep it, and is therefore trying to sell it.

 

 

 

4.) Someone who stole another person's account, and is trying to get the other person banned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In any case, report it and let Jagex deal with it. That's what I do. 8-)

You know.. It's better to just report, add to ignore, and walk away.

 

 

 

Scammers often go into a fury whenever they have been reported, and told so.

Now I know why I report and walk away, no need for ignores or telling the person that they have been reported. :mrgreen:

I think someone hacked his account and are trying to get him banned :notalk:

However, he seemed to be quite upset when I informed him that I had him reported, and ran away calling me names. That would seem to indicate he cared to some degree about that account, so possibilities 1, 3 and 4 are not that likely. He informed me I could give the Wizzy (g) to his main and he will give me the password for the account he is on, so 2 doesn't seem to be what happened either.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My belief was that he was just plain stupid.

I don't know how this could happen but...it could be that he actually didn't realize that it was against rules :lol:

Man, I saw four of those in a week. Had to tell a guy he was reported to get him to stop trying to sell a account. He flamed me until I added him to my ingore list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are these people really brave, or really stupid? Standing in the middle of a semi-crowded bank where basically no one was talking offering to sell an account I bet doesn't even exist. And not just one but two people in three days. (the other two were in crowded banks and their RSnames flew by way too quickly to see. Sigh. I'll catch you someday!!!!)
