Avoiding Common Scams on Runescape
Avoiding Common Scams
In your quest to become one of the wealthiest, richest, and most powerful players in Runescape, there will be many people that try to scam you for your hard earned money, and sometimes they might be able to get away with it. But now there is hope. This page is designed to inform you about common scams that you should watch out for to enjoy all the money you've worked so hard to earn. Arm yourself by reading about the following scams, so if you are faced by one of these scams, instead of crying that you lost your money, you will be laughing at the noob you just reported:
Trust Game: Usually this one is done by a low level player claiming that they are giving away a lot of money or items. Then they will lead a large group of players to a certain place and claim that "The person who gives me the best thing will win (insert rare item here)". Most likely the scammer will have the rare item that they claim you will win with them. Then once someone gives the scammer an item, the scammer will say "So-and-so is in the lead for giving me an item worth this much", and basically you are suppose to keep giving items of more and more value if you want to win that rare item he told you about earlier. Well, after about 5 minutes ( or when everyone is out of things to give to the scammer who said whoever gives him the stuff worth the most wins the rare item) the scammer will simply log out. And along with him will dissapear all those items everyone gave him because they thought they could win that rare item if they gave him the best stuff.
Armour Trimming: A player will come up to you claiming that they will trim your armor for free. Trimmed Armor comes from the prizes given in the member's mini-game Treasure Trails. No player can trim armor themselves, or have it trimmed by any NPC. The player might say they will take the armor to a members world and trim it for you. Once you give them your armor, you will never see it again. Borrowing Money: This scam might be done by even someone who you thought to be a close friend for a long time. They will tell you for whatever reason, they need to borrow money for you. A common one is that they claim someone is selling a Rare Item for cheap, and they can buy it if you let them borrow some money from you. They will promise that once they sell that rare, they will share the profit with you. But really, once you give them money to borrow, you will be dissapointed because not only will you not get that profit, but you will also never get the money back you let your so-called friend borrow. Jagex Staff Impersonation: A random person will message you saying that he is a member of the Jagex Staff. Usually they say that they are having a special day today and just for today they will make you a member for free if you give them your password. Jagex for no reason will ask you for your password in the game, or outside of the game. The truth is, this person messaging you is someone who is just trying to get access to your account and looking to take your items.
