I just wanted to post about this because I'm tired of seeing it and I took it upon myself to sit at the G.E and warn people about this scam as I watched the conversations unfold.
This is essentially a 3 person scam, with you as the victim and the other two people being the scam team. One of them will advertise "Doubling money and items!" or something along the lines of "Selling my armor make an offer!" while wearing full bandos and other expensive things.
Once you trade one of them, they tell you to turn private on so they can message you to "double" your items or accept your trade offer. This is the first warning sign, especially for the gear sale because it can seem legit (Never trust a doubler in the first place, so that one is already a given). Why would someone want your trade chat on and not just add you? I'll tell you why.
Once you turn the chat on, someone will message you that the person you have been interacting with is trying to scam you. They'll tell you to go watch a video on youtube, which will teach you how to "beat" the scam.
What ends up happening is that the video shows you a 2 round prize scenario. You drop your money, the person trades you items, and then you drop one of the items and pick up your money. This can turn out ugly in many ways, but I'll tell you the one I often see.
You get taken to the duel arena in an unpopulated world. You drop your money up on the parapets and they trade you telling you to accept fast so you won't lose your cash, making it look like they care about you losing it. You quickly accept the items, not paying attention to what they are and behold, you've just accepted a full pack of wound toy mice which cannot be released up there.
If you're lucky, you can run and release it if you fell into this trap over at the top of the wooden ramp. You'll like freak out though and not respond quickly enough.
Don't fall for this scam, and Jagex, please make toy mice droppable in their wound form.
