YouTube Phishing scam
Quick find code: 317-318-478-66190333
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW: I've labeled him the "Giveaway Scammer", and this is what happens in RS3.
1. he appears at the south side of the ge ((not always the exact same spot, but usually never more than 5 steps away from the bank))
2. spams a message, over and over, along these lines, "the next 25 players that pm me will be entered in a giveaway from 250m" OR "to enter the 250mil giveaway go to my YouTube [insert-scammer-YT-un-here]" ((the numbers can vary and the usernames vary depending on if their other accounts have been banned already or not ))
3. when you search the YouTube name it brings you to a new account with very few subscribers and only one video.
4. if you watch the video it's the SAME video. a very old - probably stolen - video from a OSRS player that has his bank open to show a lot of party hats, and the voice-over says he's quitting and giving away his stuff.
5. the youtube video description will encourage you to enter the giveaway by clicking a link in the comments section. ((usually the link has been "loved" by the creator, so it will be pinned to the top. don't bother trying to warn others it's a scam in the comments, he'll just delete it.
6. if you do press the link ((I SUGGEST YOU DON'T!!!) you will be taken to a fake runescape forum. be asked to "login", and then you're rs3 account will be stolen and the scammer will change your password... meaning....................... that the person scamming on rs3 right at that moment is using the account of the last unfortunate player that fell for the scam...
((which is why if you Examine thew in-game scammer they will have normal/high skilling levels, and have expensive items equipped. that account is not a bot, but use to belong to a player.))

I don’t suffer from insanity—I enjoy every minute of it.
