Runescape Scams
If you have been playing Runescape for any significant
amount of time you will have no doubt pick up that there is
a significant amount of
players that are willing to do almost anything to cut
corners in the game,
whether that be beg other players for hours for
Runescape items, use
cheats specifically designed
for Runescape, or what I will be discussing in this articles
– Runescape scams.
There is an ever increasing number of Runescape players
searching for how to scam people on Runescape with Runescape
scams, and with Runescape’s ever growing popularity there
are unfortunately new, fresh and oblivious victims joining
the game everyday so there is no shortage of new players to
scam. So what can you do to make sure that you aren’t the
next victim of one these Runescape scams.
Avoid Runescape Scams and get to Keep
Your Runescape Items
One of the most common Runescape scams is the old
trading scam where
the scammer will start out by offering an item or amount of
cash and then quickly change the items they are offering to
something very similar in description or image to what you
believe that you were to be receiving from the trade, but
when in actual fact the value of the Runescape item or
amount of Runescape gold you will be receiving will be
vastly short of what you originally thought you were
receiving. So how can your avoid these sorts of Runescape
scams, well it’s pretty simple really – don’t rush your
Runescape trades. Take your time, review each screen before
accepting the trade, make sure you are actually getting the
Runescape items you original agreed to. In addition to
checking Runescape
trade screens, to some degree, you shouldn’t trust players
you don’t know, regardless of their level. There are a lot
more Runescape scams other than this trade screen scams,
here are a couple of the more common Runescape scams you
will hear whilst you play Runescape.
Item Duplicator Runescape Scam
This scam involves someone offering to
duplicate your
Runescape items for you, all you have to do is give them
your Runescape items and then they will do their “magic” to
them. The reality is that they will take your items and
never return. Of course this scams sounds so simple it is
hard to believe that anyone would fall for it, well often
what many of these scammers will do is suggest to you that
you give them a cheaper item, like
adamite or mithril
armor or weapons and then they will proceed to give you back
two of the items you just gave them, and then they may even
suggest you give them another cheap item which they will
again give back two of, and now having built a little trust
up you may give them a couple of items that are little more
expensive like some rune armor which they will then keep. So
whilst they have given you some adamite and mithril items
you have lost out overall because they stole your rune items
which were far more gold.
The Personal Item Duplicator Scam
This Runescape scam is a little cruder and essentially
involves someone convincing you that they have found out a
way to duplicate Runescape items, and that you can do it as
well. Then they will something to the effect of, “all you
have to do is place the Runescape item on the floor and then
wait 5 seconds and then stand on the item and then
simultaneously press ALT + F4, at which point your internet
window will close and you will be logged out of Runescape
and considering it will take you quite awhile to load a new
window and load Runescape again by which time the items you
dropped will have spawned so that everyone can see them and
which point the person who convinced you that you could
duplicate your Runescape items has picked the items your
left on ground up and run away.
These are a few of the more popular Runescape Scams out
there and as I mentioned earlier in this articles more and
more people are searching to find out how to scam people on
Runescape and the old saying that there is a sucker born
every minute is relevant in Runescape as it is in real life.
So be aware of things that are too good to be true and
remember that there are no such things are Runescape item
duplicators so don’t fall for the Runescape scams that
involved people claiming that they can duplicate your
Runescape items.
