Ok people! Don't feel stupid that you been scammed or something because alot of people are being scammed in runescape. I think it is riduclus! Scammers these days can't earn their own money, and try to take from others! Don't you hate it?Here are some scams that people try to do:1st:
This one is usually an easy one to spy. What they'll do is they'll put up the amount of money that you want for your specific item. Then, next, they'll start putting up some useless things! While they're doing that, they change the amount to a lower price but looks identical to the amount that your suppose to get paid. Example: 400k to 4000!2nd: Members
Ok, for this one, some people gets trick pretty easily. In rangers guild, what people try to do is private message you and say that they'll give you a free item. When you go up there, ( I don't know if this is correct or not) they can attack you! After you'll be pretty much dead because they got everything ready to kill you.
3rd:
This is item scamming right here. What these people will try to do is switch items to a identical looking one. Examples are a rune long sword to an iron long sword. They really do look alike too!
4th
Never ever say your password or your bank pin aloud! Jagex does not block it!
People these days... There are way more scams that people try to do so be careful! Always keep your friend's list on friends, ALWAYS! Make sure to never follow a stranger or anything, it will lead to your downfall! Trust me!

Ok well if you're stupid enough to actually honestly trust somebody on this game that you don't know in real life, you deserve to be scammed. Nobody on this game no matter how much you would like to believe can be trusted 100% of the time in this game. Go deep in wildy with a "team" sometime and even if you've known them forever that rune plate of yours may look pretty nice to them. The key would be to always be on the look out. Nobody would give you a free item, but if they did they wouldn't make you climb stairs to get it. Noobs these days... If you seriously don't check the second screen of your trade by now you may as well create a new account and see if you can learn something while you bring your level to a respectable level.

I agree. I think these people on runescape are all selfish losers. All they want to do is scam and cuss at other people and beg for stuff from other people. No good people anymore. I kept my friends list "ON" for like 5 minutes and people started saying "hey" and i just said "lemmie guess u can make me a member and all you need is my password right" and he says "yeah. Thats messed up when i cant even keep my friends list on "ON" without getting annoyed by noob beggers and scammers.
