The most effective weapon against these scambots is education.
The sad reality is these bots appear in the game advertising these links because players, particularly new players, don't know any better and will visit these sites, thinking they have been lucky enough to find such a great deal. Of course, they learn otherwise when their credentials get stolen, or they get infected with malware, or end up getting banned for RWT.
The more players know to avoid the sites advertised by these scambots, the less money the scammers will make off the misery of others.
While it would be great to see Jagex shut down these scammers as soon as they appear, I understand why that's not possible.
What each of us can do as players is not fall victim to these scam sites, no matter what they claim to offer. Make it not worth their time to invade our game.
