This is the post that Scret tried to quote, & all the arguments still stand, as well as the question of how Jagex suggests reporting these players.
Ye of course & you & I plus everyone probably mention this in their clan but it isn't a solution.
How does Jagex suggest these players report the scammers for review?
Clearly the scam is working, to say "don't be so generous" is ridiculous, if there's a mistake it's in not recognising that the person isn't a clan member.
However saying "well just recognise it then!" isn't a solution either, as you get all types of clan members, some will be inexperienced, some will be from non english speaking countries & not do all the reading that's available, some will want to be helpful to senior members for all sorts of reasons, some will be tired &/or distracted, some just have a kind heart & don't often say no, at the end of the day we want the attempted scamming stopped instead of just making people tighter with their gp, yes it would be great if their was instant recognition that it isn't a clanmate,
& Jagex can assist with this by not making different names look identical.
