How To Avoid Being Scammed On Runescape

Runescape is a massive 3d multiplayer adventure game by Jagex Ltd. with monsters to slay, quest to accomplish, and riches to win. Along with all the fun however, are many people waiting to scam and steal all your wealth in the game if you are not careful.

Have you ever been SCAMMED on Runescape? - Meaning, have you ever been cheated? Well if you are like most people then the answer is probably yes to that question. Well don’t let it happen again! Here are some tricks which will help you avoid being scammed.

When trading, always double check the items/gold he is giving. Accept the trade window number 1, and then you will be moved on the Trade window number 2. On the trade window number 2, you will see everything in clear detail. Make sure everything is correct, and then click on ACCEPT, to finalize your trade.

I once tried to buy a Rune Long Sword, I put my amount of GPs into Trade, and he added the Rune Long Sword, now what he did was this: He quickly changed the Rune Long Sword with a Mithril Long Sword (which look similar) and pressed ACCEPT. I didn’t really pay attention, so I pressed ACCEPT too. After the Trade was done, I realized, I got scammed!

Other stories I’ve heard are:

Player 1 wants to sell his Dragon Long Sword for 100k. Player2 adds 100k to the Trade Window, and then suddenly adds an Armor to it too. But while adding the Armor he takes out 90k from the 100k, which then ends up being 10k.

Looks almost the same huh? The Armor was added in order to confuse the seller. The Seller will think, “Cool, he adds an Armor for free”. While concentrating on the armor he doesn’t notice that the money was changed from 100k to 10k! So always be careful.

Players sometimes offer to “DUPLICATE ITEMS” for you.

Listen; there is no way to duplicate items so DO NOT TRUST them. They will only steal your stuff and run away. The same can be said for people claiming to “UPGRADE ITEM FOR FREE”. Items can not be upgraded by other players within the game. This is an old scam that still pops up from time to time. Don’t be fooled.

Another type of scam is players advertising “FREE GEM CUTTING”. Sometimes, they do it, but sometimes they just run away if your stuff.

Useful Information to keep in mind: High leveled players are less likely to steal your stuff, rather than the low leveled players. This is because by ‘cheating’ they put their account in danger, and therefore might get banned. A low leveled player wouldn’t mind so much, but the high leveled one who has worked long and hard will not jeopardize his account!

So basically, higher rated players can usually be trusted more than low level players.

Ever heard of Team Rip Off?

It works like this. Two players who know each other are in the same place. Player 1 shouts “TRADING DRAGON LONG FOR 100 Swordfish”. Everyone who sees this offer will get excited, because the Dragon Long is worth about 100k! While 100 Swordfish are only worth about 40k. So now the other members try to get 100 Swordfish, and here is where Player 2 comes into the game. Player 2 advertises “SELLING 100 SWORDFISH, 80k.”, which is totally over priced, but since the Members want that Dragon Long they buy the Swordfish and then go to Player1 and offer to Trade. Player 1 will reply with “Never mind”. The person who bought the Swordfish got ripped off for about 50k!!!

I’ve seen this happen myself. I didn’t of course fall for this trick, but I watched silently. The player then who bought the Swordfish was really mad. He was shouting around like a Wild man, so please do not fall for this cheap trick.

Just be careful. Runescape is full of people who try to cheat. Stay away from them and everything will be alright.
