How I lost my items - by scamming, dying and others

Recommended Posts

I just dced and died to cave horrors and lost my full slayer helm, dragon boots, obby cape, ddefender, and about 500k loot i had received as drops on the task. It pretty much sucked that i died with my ectophial on my because if i had it in my bank i could have gotten back in time.

 

grrrrr

How do you die from a DC at something like Fire Giants or Cave Horrors? If you close the game, your character will automatically log out after one minute of inactivity, regardless if you are in combat or not. At least, that was how it worked last I checked. It's really your fault if your HP is so low/your character is so weak that you can't survive one minute of combat against such weak monsters.

lol the funny part is that I have no idea how i would have died to them. I was around 600 lp when i dced and i have 85 defense and was wearing reasonably good defensive armor. Though also cave horror attacks are pretty darn accurate when they do their scream thingy. also I sopose that it was my fault for not closing the game but this is a rants fourm and i'm free to rant at myself right...

ok i was at the most crowded p2p world selling my dragon med helm i got from fire giants.A scammer goes i will give you robin and ranger boots for it i said ok! so we went to the trade page i put my helm in and he put both in and i hit accepted i watch closely and i saw he pulled robin out. so i cancelled the trade he tryed to trade me again i put my helm back up and he put both in and i accepted then he tried to pull a quick one again but he messed up. so i got the robin and range boots when he noticed he didnt scammed me he was trying to say i scammed him.

 

 

 

so i guess you can say i defeated the true scammer.

 

 

 

i talked to my friend who is a mod i told him the story about what happend. he said you traded right he was trying to scam me but i won that battle.

 

 

i also cant stand it when im selling items and they go im in the wild can you bring it to me. um NO!

this was way back long ago, but i was wearing d legs and abby whip and i was doing construction. So this dude invites me to his house, and im like sure (cuz i was kinda bored anyways). He's like did you know if you put your d legs and whip on the table, it makes a cool shape or some sht like that. So i put two planks on the table and right after i tell him that it does look pretty cool, and he kicks me out his house. GG, have fun with your two planks B!TCH!

Lol...there was an interesting attempt that happened back in 2007. I was training def at the mossies in varrock sewers when a guy pm's me saying he had an awesome way for me to make some free gp. I add him to friends, and immediately notice that he's on the other side of that agil shortcut. Anyways, I accept, but decide to only ask questions during the entire thing, hoping to annoy him severely. He starts talking about transferring money to my acc, I ask how? He says he'll need my p/w, I reply why? He repeats his first line, I repeat mine. This convo continues for 5mins, until he finally logs off/removes me from his list. Either way, too funny

I didn't really get scammed, but I was new to members and this guy told me Tyras helm was rare and I bought it for 30K. Me (still believing it was rare) throuroughly convinced this other noob that it was worth 500K. Low and behold I got my 500K haha.

To be completely honest, if someone gets scammed, it's their own fault.

 

 

 

I've been scammed, learned my lesson, hasn't happened since.

To this day, I have always walked away from a scam with my own items still safely in my inventory and their names reported to JaGex.

I really don't understand how anyone can ever fall for scams. :unsure: I've only had a few people ever try with me, but they're always pretty transparent.

I was just reminded of the first time I got scammed. It was literally my first day of being a member over 5 years ago. I saw this guy holding an awesome sword (dragon longsword) and I was wearing full gilded so I thought that sword must be really expensive. Found out later that I traded full gilded for a cheap sword.

Ofc it's our fault, we don't deny that. We just post in here to prevent others suffer the same misery.

For me being lured a red h'ween mask is temporary pain. A month later I got the money back, but still it's no fun some lowlife tricks you (or tries to)

to steal yer hard work. That's all... No reason to rub it in, everyone who ever got scammed realized it was stupid.

I watched a friend buy a noted iron scimitar for 35k. I told him don't click, because I noticed it, but he clicked too fast, and then clicked accept on the second screen. Not to mention rune scimitars were only 25k max at the time icon_wall.gif

 

This was back in '07 though.
