TheMadSirSlaughter Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Well, I didn't get scammed, but someone attempted it. I was attempting to purchase the services of someone to buy a white set for me, and some other person tryed to get me to believe that a set was worth 1mill and that he would sell me the helm, pl8 and legs at a "discount" of 200k. I logged because I didn't want to deal with his bologna. Looking for a clan. PM me with an invite! Cb 57 Your Toast has been burnt, and no amount of scraping shall remove the black parts!

nomadmike Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 :roll: Really sad when there is a person who tries to scam people. They were banned as jagex messaged me. One wanted to buy a whip for 3 million...He/It offered a ring(that warrior one i think) His friend or himself 3 spaces away is buying that very ring for 4 mill. I start saying they are scaming and autotalking(they both said a 35 character sentence in flash3 mode without one mistake every 3 sec) All of a sudden one teles and the other just keeps talking...lol. Then he starts typing himself.Hes saying I scammed his phat set. He was a lv 3 with nothing but a bronze long sword on.

coolcobra77 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 2 scams... and both were before the updated 2nd trade window 1. selling some law runes i got from the old law trading service in world 86 I believe? It was like 2k of laws i think, so this girl offers 1m for it all (back when laws were 500 each so it all seemed legit) I check the amount the first time and it was legit but she declines. I try again and of course click tooooo!!!! fast and she only put up 100k... so i was out 900k 2. One of my friends who had been a friend for months because of the clan we were in was stake dueling, and wanted to use my dharocks to win. I say its at 0 you cant use it, and he gives me the money to fixes it and promises that he will give me part of the winnings (like 5m out of 15 or something)so i go away and ask a few days later can i have it back and he blocks me... so i never got it back. I assume it was a scam between him and probably a friend... but he could've lost it in the duel. My 3 favorite skills! 1st. 2nd. 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton3000 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Someone was trying to buy whip for 1,8 milj. I traded him and he offered 1,8 milj. I was going to click accept and he changed it to 180k. I noticed it and took my whip off and clicked accept. I don't know what he was trying but he clicked accept and even in the second trade window he still tried to accept. I declined because I really don't want get banned for scamming. After that he called me a scammer and ran away. :anxious: Edit: Wrong topic. :lol: Retired from RuneScape for as long as possible.

G_Sarah Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 it happened along time ago, when green masks were worth 700k, and i had just gotten mine for full rune and 500k. When to world 1 and someone was buying a green mask for 1mill, so you know, i thought it was a really good deal considering i never had 1 mill before..so he put up the 1 mill as i put up my green mask, but i noticed he also put alot of different items(worthless stuff) and i didn't even notice he took off his 1mill and put on 10k. and i accpeted both trade screens.. another time was when i was new, about lvl 50 and bought full addy g for 850k.... i also got some good luck one time, some new guy(maybe lvl 16..can't remember) showed me 1mill, and we were upstairs at varrock east bank, suddnly he was attacked by a swarm and told him if you were to kill it i well give you free stuff...so he tried to kill it, and he died and i got his 1mill.... another time was when i was mining in mining guild seen a guy with a santa, and jsut for laughs offered him all my rune weapons for it...he said no caz he hadn't played for awhile and didn't know the prices(back when santa was worth 1.2mill) then i said 100k and all my rune weapons..he mined a couple coal and i thought he ignored me are something, then he said, "ok i well do it". right after the trade i logged out and went to world 1 and sold the sanata for 1.3mill....i feel really bad about selling it now that its worth like 20mill.... The wilderness is a lovely place full of kind people, they dissapear and drop all their stuff when I click on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like a vulture and a scammer yourself...Lying for gain is scamming! You feel bad about selling the santa but have no quams about lying about the value and gouging the guy for his santa? Pretty sad that you say you have been scammed and yet don't see how nasty you are....and the reason the community is in the toilet....money over dignity and conscience.

Solidus_77 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I had a new one today, this random person starts pming me saying he needs my help to talk to a friend. So what is it he needs? Apparently he wants me to give him my password so he can get on my account and then pm his friend. Reported, then I screw around with him, trying to find a flaw in his story etc... untill eventually he logs off. (stuff like "I swear on my grave I won't take your items" wow, your grave is pretty worthless) I don't see what he would have gained from it besides screwing around with my account, it's not like he was going to take some items. 76th to reach 99 Construction on 6th of February 2007379th to reach 99 Runecrafting on 4th of November 2007 Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed!

vastolive93 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 This guy got a 2 for 1 special....My friend was merchanting for me: 400K, 1.4 chaos runes, and granite plate. He says he will meet me at Faldor north gate, same time, next day. So I'm there the next day...waiting. Guess what. He doesn't show!! At first I thought that this was a normal scam, but no! With my luck. I can't just get scammed by a guy I've known for 3 hours. I have to feel like a completel idiot. Long story short. My "friend" gets hacked and two days later, is banned for offensive language. Lucky hacker, seeing as how my "friend" had 10+mil in gold and roughly 25mil in items. :XD: Miniclip is now the number one cause of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Skill_Rs Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Well, I wanted to try my hand at merchanting, so I went to world 1 to buy yew logs. I saw a guy selling for 270 each. I thought it was a great deal. I was about to buy 4k of them, but at the last minute he changes them to willows. I got scammed #-o But, as the saying says, :-$ Curse word here :-$ happens. :boohoo: Empires rise and fall, and heros are born and they die.

minimeedude Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 When i didn't know much about runescape i was trying to sell 2k law runes,some guy pm's me and is like "hey dude i'll buy law runes for mole skins" i thought those were rare but actually were worth nothing. then some guy pm's and is like "hey i'll buy mole skins 5 mil" so i quickly traded and accepted with the guy, went to trade the guy who wanted the mole skins to discover he had logged out, lost 1m back then :cry: Then just a couple of minutes ago i was trying to sell my remaning 3.5k cooked lobsters,someone put up 700k which was how much i was looking for. He accepted so i thought it wasn't a scam, i quickly accepted twice to discover only 70k in my inventory, 640k down the drain. Teaches me that there are those type of autoers and to always check the 2nd trade screen #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orc_doom Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I was asking someone to enchant a diamond ring for me (yeah, i know, never supposed to do that, but i was in a hurry and didn't mind losing a few k gp. I figured i would just report him if he scammed me anyways.) And so he asks me to wait for him to get the runes. he waited a long time than laughed at me and logged off. Unfortunatly, he waited over the 60 seconds that they look at when you report them, so it would't have done anything if i reported him. What I learned: People will figure out all the ways to get around punishment for breaking the rules, even for just a few thousand gp. Did you know that 78.934% of statistics are completly made up?
