July 12, 200718 yr Well, today, i was in fally park world 2, trying to buy full verac for 4.3mil. Of course, there was loads of scammers using 2 skirt trick. they tried it on me, but i decliened it because it know it was a scam. Well anyway, there was this scammer that caught my attention. He was yelling "free super sets!!!!show item in inventory in trading screen to show how much space you have!!!!!" And i think to myself that those super sets would be useful for me to use it for barrows using full verac. So i traded him. i showed him that i've got 4.3mil. Then he put up all those super set with one inventory space empty. So i quickly clicked accept without knowing that i forgot to remove the 4.3mil #-o Then without checking the second trade srceen, i clicked accept again #-o #-o Oh well, i hav to earn all that 4.3mil by slayer darting in barrows now. wish me luck in getting a guthan spear :) :D
July 12, 200718 yr worst i've ever been scammed is when i tried to buy mage logs (round 1k) and didnt look and they were changed to willows
July 12, 200718 yr Today a noob tried to scam me something like this: I was buying a rune (g) kiteshield. Someone says "selling rune (g) kite 60k!!!" I traded him, he showed a rune (g) kiteshield. I show 60k, he accepts. So I accepted too. At the second screen it was ok. I accept, he declines. Trades again saying lag. I show 60k, he shows a rune (g) kiteshield. Or so it looked. At the second trade window he accepts. I read mine, saying 60k, read his, saying adamant kiteshield (g). I declined saying noob scammer. Now I know adamant looks like rune, when it' s (g).

July 12, 200718 yr Ive only been scammed once. this guy was like "SPENDING 10M" So he puts up 10m i put in a whole bunch of stuff worth around maybe 4-5 mil. Full sara, some pots, food, logs, etc. The he quickly changes 10m to 10k. This was before you could see the difference in colour. I was so happy because it was such a great deal, I quickly clicked accept on both screens.

July 12, 200718 yr Wow, just got scammed 24.2m Surprising, I'm not that mad, I just feel stupid. The guy says, "Giving away stuff, show invy first" I show him the blue mask in my inventory, and he gives me lots of junk, probably totaling about 600k. Forgetting to pull the mask back, I accept. I guess it's time to runecraft, baby!

July 13, 200718 yr Just got scammed full guth, fury and some other stuff. I asked somebody to get firecape for me, tried to login pass had been changed. Oh well... Sorry to say so but serves you right for giving away your pass. You are lucky you only lost items isntead of getting banned either for sharing your account, or for the other person doing bad stuff while on your account and getting your account banned for that. Live free or die. First option is exhausted, so guess what remains?

I guess it's time to runecraft, baby! does that scam work well >.< u must been greedy and saw the 600k of stuff, human nature. =) It's one of the most popular scams because it is counterintuitive. Usually you expect people to "cheat" you, like asking you for something you know you should'nt tell them, or asking you to show that you trust them, but in this scam they just pretend they are nice. The request is cloning a reasonable request which in theory is supposed to ask how much free space you have (so trade doesn't get autorejected for lack of space), and psychologically you think the other person is doing something reasonable. There is no psychological barriers to rejecting this scam if you don't know about it, and all it takes is not being careful, to lose potentially huge amounts. Live free or die. First option is exhausted, so guess what remains?
July 20, 200718 yr A few days ago my friend tried to scam me (He had my RoW i let him borrow >_<) He asked me if i can loan him some money to pay back a friend. I said no i dont have enough. Hes like well got any items? I say: Well how much do you need ( i had no idea how much he need at this point) he said about 250k... I asked why? He said well he helped out this account and he wants me to pay him back. I said no I dont have items to give for free. He said" What about a beserker helm?" Right after he asked that i asked if he was a member. Then he said no he plays for free. I said then why do you need a zerker if hes free. I continued to find out he tried to scam me. Took him off of friends, ignored him, reported him. Before that, a few days, he asked if he could borrow my ring of wealth so... I lost bout 60k... :/ Scumbag. Pretty much done with rs now

July 25, 200718 yr Buying herbs for herblore (identified :oops: ) Bought harrs for 8k ea instead of ranarrs My own damn fault, shoulda checked the 2nd trade screen. Apparently, my signature was to big.
July 25, 200718 yr Thanks to good ole' Tip.it forums, I got to learn how to avoid the "whip-video" scam (which I should warn you, works with Torag's Hammers, Dbaxes and Mystic Tops) by low alching one of them, so I got to get 3 sets of Torag's Hammers. However, a friend of mine asked if he could borrow 100k from he because he had been scammed and needed a new start-on for merchanting, so I lent them to him. Afterwards, when I asked him when we'd give the money back, he said "whenever you give me rune legs and helm". He explained to methat I'd have to give hime the armor, and then, he'd give the money. Of course I got that he was just lying to me, so I told him what I thought. I haven't heard from him since. He's still on my friends' list, just in case he thinks it through and wants to redeem himself (what I know won't happen ). I'd rather have lost the whip on a scam rather than 100k to someone I considered a friend... :cry: This signature is intentionally left blank.
July 25, 200718 yr I had just started runescape and this guy said "Buddy system!". Now, I thought that would be a great idea as I had never played runescape before. The guy helped me earn some money, and iron armour (bad, I know, but I had just started). Then he took me to the wildy, saying this is the best place to make money, which, ironically, it is ^^', and I followed him in deep. He pked me and I had about 60k (again not much, but it had only just started the game) and full iron and tones of other stuff. Nothing really vaulble but it was the first, and hopefully last, time I was scammed.:wall: :wall: :wall:
