@ CM Team
In regards to "money doubling", players seem protected under the old "it's not illegal until the scam takes place" deal. Even so legitimate money "doublers" promote the scam by creating the delusion that you can find someone who won't be a scammer?
How can nothing be done about this?

Our advice is that if someone offers to double your money you need to be aware that there is a high chance that they will scam you. We have warnings in the trade window, and we provide a mechanic to report people if they still decide to ignore our advice and then get scammed.
We have every sympathy with people who lose stuff through scamming - but in fairness we do feel that we provide a good level of protection, but at the same time, still allow players the freedom to make unbalanced trades if they wish.
However, we do keep this sort of thing under review, I'll mention it again at the next RuneScape planning meeting.
