YouTube Phishing scam
Quick find code: 317-318-478-66190333
Reports are being looked over by jagex, they just make new accounts. Best cause of action if I may say so myself is do what you're doing, keep reporting everyone you see doing this, spread awareness here like you are now at times and definitely write a msg in G.E when you see these noobs and say something like "Don't fall for the youtube scam, it directs you to a fake website" Or similar.
That's exactly what I am doing so trust me you're not making "no difference". Just keep doing it and less people will fall for it and maybe they also do the same in the future and it spreads step by step! It's all a team effort among us players

If I was a GM I could solve this in 5 minutes.
As I said....They aren't making new accounts. They are spamming MEMBERS areas with level 50-100 combat accounts. These are hacked player accounts spamming . Reporting them won't do anything. They say the message 5-10 times then never log in that account again. Then log on to someone else'S account that fell for it. It looks very legitimate and it works!
I can keep reporting the players (I do this) but I can't keep spending time going to youtube and reporting each video or taking time off from what I'm doing to constantly tell people to not fall for this as it wastes all my productivity in-game. They're making thousands of dollars doing this. Potentially per day. All Jagex needs to do is filter the spams out better.
When you log into an account from an "unknown location" you need to check your email address for a confirmation code to be able to log in. This should be implemented immediately on all accounts with a connected email. This alone would almost destroy these scammers. People might fall for a phishing scam on their game account but will they fall for a phishing scam on their game AND email? I feel like it's less likely. That would prevent the never-ending flow of accounts they have access to and slow them down.
