Free Runescape Scams Account İtems Rules money

Scamming is the act of stealing money, items or accounts from another player through deception or trickery. It is strictly against the Rules of Free RuneScapegame and can be punishable by a mute or ban. Scamming is as old as RuneScape itself, and the wide range of scams range from simple and obvious to clever and complex. Most scams involve tricking a victim in one way or another, although occasionally scammers will exploit flaws in the trade system, or even glitches in the game, to steal players' items.
Players can be reported for attempted or successful scamming. However, victims of scamming will not have their items returned to them, even if Jagex punishes the scammer.

Quick tips to avoid scamming

 

Players who adhere to the following suggestions will find it much easier to spot scams and avoid being fooled by them.

• If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is a scam.
• Do not do the following with items you are not willing to lose: Drop them, bring them into the Wilderness or dangerous Clan Wars, or offer them in trust trades (including gambling).
• Keep account information secure. Only enter it into the official Free RuneScapegame website and don't tell anyone else your password, recovery questions, or email address.
• Always carefully check the trade window to verify which items are being traded.
•  

• Scams related to trust trading

  A trust trade occurs when a victim gives a scammer money or an item, trusting that the scammer will then return the favor, either by providing a service or by giving the victim a greater amount of money or a more valuable item. Instead, however, the scammer simply takes the victim's money and leaves. Trust trades may also occur when scammers ask to borrow items that cannot be lent, such as the various spirit shields.
  Any players who consider engaging in a trust trade should factor in the risk that the recipient will steal their item or money. Even a friend or clan member could decide to abuse a player's trust and scam them out of millions of coins.
  
  

  Doubling money

  The money-doubling scam is one of the most popular scams in RuneScape, and can often be seen being performed at populated areas such as the Grand Exchange, particularly on trading worlds. The scammer will offer the victim a deal: If the victim trades the scammer some money, the scammer will then trade the victim double the victim's amount. The doubling occurs in a separate trade; the money must first be given to the scammer. Doubling money, therefore, is a trust trade. After the scammer receives the victim's money they will simply log out.
  Over time this scam has evolved to appear more legitimate. For example, in order to establish credibility, the scammer will often double small amounts of money (such as 50,000 coins) before accepting a larger amount and logging out. Some players will simply take this smaller amount and leave; much to the dismay of the scammer. Some scammers may also have other players pretend to have their money doubled by the scammer, and stand around talking about the "legit" money doubler. However, the scammer will still log out when given a large amount by an unsuspecting player.
  Variants: Adding certain percentages to your money.
  Example of a transaction:
  Player 1: Doubling money! 50k test!
  Player 2 offers trade to player 1
  Player 1 and Player 2 trade
  Player 2 offers 50k
  Both players accepted trade
  Player 1 and Player 2 trade again
  Player 1 offers 100k to player2
  Player 2: Wow you are legit!
  Player 1 and Player 2 trade
  Player 2 offers 500k
  Both players accepted trade
  Player 1 leaves or logs off, leaving Player 2 behind
  Note that any player who doubles money in one trade is not scamming. However, be wary of the rounding scam also the Just click 'w' scam.
  Suggested actions: Report the player with Scamming, don't try to give your money to doubler if he/she does it in two trades, if you can handle the money, you can 'test' the doubler and leave.
