Sounds like you were hijacked while you were gone. While you can't get your items back, you can earn them back over time while playing, and ensure it never happens again by taking the necessary precautions.

Things like:

• Having a Registered Email
• Good Anti-Virus
• A strong Pass Word
• JAG Enabled
• Authenticator Set Up
• A Bank PIN

Are all good safeguards to set in place to ensure your account will never be compromised again. Before anything I would get the Anti-Virus and do a full scan to make sure you haven't contracted any malicious software, and if so - remove it. If you don't and you happen to have, say, a keylogger, then any of the above things you do will be to no avail as the keylogger will just hijack your credentials all over again. You may want to visit the Community-Led Account Help Forums for some more information and specific details about getting the following security measures in place. From there, search around for some good money making methods. Seeing as you're F2P, I would recommend telegrabbing Wines of Zamorak.

I have hidden your post because making accusations against players on the forums is not very helpful, as it sends no evidence to Jagex. To send evidence, please use the in-game Reporting function.

Secondly, your story involves account-sharing and macroing, which you willingly supported, so in the circumstances getting scammed probably shouldn't have been such a surprise... if you mix with cheats, you must expect to get cheated!

I appreciate you Motley. This is a wonderful list, and honestly getting scammed is the worst feeling ever. Don't let the doubling money get to your head guys! Some scammers will humor doubling amounts of 10m+, and then bail on you when the stakes get high. Host of

@ Wet Teemo - Sorry to hear that you were the victim of a scam. Your post has been hidden as you may not make accusations against other players by name on the forums.

The only evidence that Jagex accepts as evidence is that provided by their own systems when you use the in-game Report feature. Screenshots are not accepted, as they can easily be manipulated.

Hello, please add to this list the scam with the pre-nature amulet.
Someone says to double money in 1 trade. Then they just offer the double of what you offered in pre-nature amulets . These amulets are not sellable in the GE and their value displayed in price-check is totally inaccurate. This way you just buy very expensive junk.
