Scammer

Apparently there are a bunch of scams in runescape. I've been encountered by most of them so far....

"Trimming kites" or "Trimming armour"
No one can trim your armour... NO ONE! I had a friend (now a member) get scammed that way. (thats how I met him... he was having a terrible day. First he got scammed with the trimming armour, then he got hacked, and then he completely lost the head to his addy pickaxe...)

Of course there is the "autominer" which also installs a keylogger (for those who dont know what a keylogger is... its a program that records your keystrokes and sends the information to someones email. Thus the person on the recieving end of the email has your username and password in the lovely world of runescape.

There is the "Item duplicate" scam which people tell you that runescape has a bug that you can exploit: dropping an item and then pressing the "f4" key on your keyboard... THIS WILL NOT WORK... what happens is you close your internet browser (internet explorer or firefox... or whatever you use) the person that told you this will pickup whatever you dropped since you have logged out

Then there is the "I'll raise your levels for you" trick... People will tell you that they will log onto your account to raise your levels for you. Big giant SCAM! Im sure that one in a billion would really be helping you... but otherwise dont trust it. I've heard of some guys "girlfriend" getting his username and password to level him up... took everything...

The ole "switcheroo" where someone trades you something and changes it last second or changes the price without you thinking... for example you want something for 1000 gp and they say ok... at the last minute they change the gp to 100 gp... looks almost the same... but not quite... make sure that you check before you accept the second time.

"I'll make you a member/moderator"... they ask for your username and password first... don't do it! Again... this is a scam!

Here is another one that I have seen... it looks realistic too:

Thx for hellping me out again. imean it. you saved my but. i just wanted to repayh the favor and help you otu too. my frined gave me a bot that wll level up your stats like attack and defence and mining and even jgive you upgrades on wepons. this my friend from runescape so please dont tell too many people. I dont want him to get into trouble for this. he sais he wont get in trouble but i dont want to anyway. i even got some partyhats in my bank :-). he gave me something and it has to be done exactly like it is below all of the stars:

the email address is runescapebot@jagex-usa.tk the subject has to be: runescapebot

if the subject line isnt runescapebot the jagex server will delete the email

dont put the stars in the email. make sure everying is in there exactly thte same. it wll not work if its not rite. If you dont want to change it leave it blank. otherwide it wll replace the stuff you have there. it wont change the runescape acount ether. just put the user and pass and the stuff you want. in yoru 28 slot you have 500 thousand gold peces already, so if you dont mind the last item in your inventory being deleted ad replaced with 500 k gp... then dont delete it. it shouldbe changed in a day or two. lemme nkow if if workd and ill help if it didnt.

Notice the real looking website too... Don't fall for these tricks as they will allow other people to hack into your stuff!

I saw a gir TODAY! who got her stuff all taken. It sounded like her brother had done it, because he said that she couldnt change her password from home... hmmm... that don't sound right. She logged off and changed her username and password...

People can be such jerks...

If you see anymore scams that I missed... feel free to send a message my way!
