Anti-scam guide

 

 Caution. In this article you will learn how indentify most popular scamming methods and how with the help of this knowledge avoid being scammed yourself. No one can ever be safe from those individuals, meaning that there is always a possibility that you or someone you know can meet other players in RuneScape, whose intentions are not good by any means and their goal is trying to scam or trick other players for personal gains or something that has value. There are some key advices how to avoid being a victim of this. Let’s begin with the basics.

  1. Be careful. We always encourage all of the Runescape players to carefully check the both trade screens before accepting buy or sell any items. Don’t be in a rush, because the items you saw, might be swapped at the very last second. Please remember that once both of the players press „accept“ button, there would be no way back.
  1. Real Value. If you choose to buy something (absolutely anything, even bronze scimitar), you should know the real value of the item first. Don‘t buy items by screaming YOLO at the same time. The price that is seen in trade screen might be not accurate at all. Don‘t fall into the trap of someone, who might be more experienced than you. Be smarter than that and do your homework prior to buying anything in-game. Unless, this is cheap RS Gold that you can buy from RSMills team.
  1. Unsafe places. Always remember that Wilderness and many other similar places are not safe for trading and you will be killed by other players (lurer’s friends, which are waiting for you to come) and you will lose your stuff. That‘s a rookie lesson that probably everyone of us has been a part of at some point of our Runescape career, however, we‘re are here to help you avoid it.
  1. Distant places. If player that you don‘t even know comes to you and asks to follow him to a less crowded place, you can already know, that he’s trying to scam you. For example, if he asks you to drop your items on the ground, and then trade him for your prize, avoid that, because there is a big chance in losing your stuff and leaving without anything.

NOTE: If you will see anyone, who is doing similar things as listed above, immediately REPORT him/them for Item scamming. Now you’ve learned how to avoid being scammed, so get started and big luck in playing. We hope you‘ll be safe out there, scavenger!
