A friend of mine got scammed by this lad "BBQer" 1,7Mil (6,8k cannon balls). He was trading the cannonballs, but at that moment something happened with his connection, so his acount logged out. when he got back online his 6,8k cannonballs were gone, but he had no money...

How is that possible?
(He also said he did something to scam my mate)

Report " BBQer " plz, thanks!

Probably scammed his pass word. Your best bet would be to have reported that player so they get the punishment they deserve. No use bringing the issue onto the forums if he's already been reported. Sorry about your friend.

Haha glad this is here, even if only because it made me feel a little better I wasn't the only one.

A guy got me with the "go meet my friend here" scam. I wasn't even planning on going to meet his "friend" but I thought I'd get a free teletab. Doh.

Good game Sara Sword (bought for 8m the day before, was selling for 7.5m).


I reported him, but he was a level 18 anyway and probably will just xfer the cash.


Funny thing is, I was already aware of the scam I just hadn't slept the night before because I had my last exam that morning, so I wasn't thinking straight. GG.

Original message details are unavailable.
Does JaGex give items back if your scam report is confirmed? :(

I assume they don't, but I did lose 8 mil.

They don't sorry. :/ Glad to hear you did the right thing to report them though. Good work.

Muggers,

Lol what?

I don't see a section for unid scams. You can use this if you like:

Here's how to avoid unid scams.

1. Gather every type of unid. Then take one and identify it. That stack of unids is now known to be whatever herb. Identify another stack, then place it next to the original stack depending on herb level. Lower level herbs to the left, higher to the right. If you want to buy unids higher than your Herb level, find someone trustworthy to help with the IDing process.

2. Now if for example you want to buy unid Ranaars, then take one of your known Ranaar unids (oxymoron), your money (always more than you'll spend), and fill the rest of your inventory with junk. Now if the trader is a scammer the trade will fall through due to lack of inventory space. If they're legit the trade completes.
