basically someone asked me to lend them my item so they wouldnt get thiers l lost in wildy and for me to hold on to thiers, i had freinds button depressed, didnt see declined trade. then they asked for thier item back and thanks for lending my item to them.... but it wasnt thier item i gave back... it was my item because they declined the trade and i had my friends window depressed. i reported them. it was actually two people who did it because i got messages from a few people and they sat there and danced with my item on taunting me that they stole my item. i hope they get in trouble. but i doubt i will ever see my item again.

Good work :) I have seen how frusterating geting scammed is, even when it is my old friend doing the scamming who has now ignored me :( But there is one think I would like to point out. You got your version of the seal game wrong.

For one it is normally called Odd/even game nowadays.
In the odd even game they would perform the "seal of approval" emote and on the backpacks they each have a differend number on it. You would guess either odd or even and if the number on the backpack (1 through 8) then your money would be doubled, if he was actully legit. Otherwise you lose your money :P .
Senarrio
Scammer: Odd/even game x 2 100k min. Ask for specials.
Victom: Hmm sounds fun *puts up 100k bet*
Scammer: 200k pot on what?
Victom: Even.
Scammer: Gl *does seal of approval emote* Aw its a 3. Bl.
Victom: Dang it *puts up 200k bet* even.
Scammer: 400k pot on even gl. *does emote* Congradulations you win. *Trades with victom and puts up 400k they both acept first window then he declines and logs out*
I dont me to critisize you i just felt like telling you what i have picked up from it.

I don't think your aloud to add link's to these forum's...
But, I found this scam I almost fell for until I noticed the website name...
I typed in "noob" as my username.
And "******" as my pass-code.
And it worked!!
I knew right away it was a fake site...
Runescape Mod's have said this many times...
DONT trust any website's that aren't Runescape or JaGex ltd.
That are asking for you're pass-word.
Make sure!!! It is the website... I almost was scammed earlier today... Glad i was not...
Sincerely, IAmMuscle ;)

yea one time i got fooled that i was going to get like 100m in gold coins and was supposed to go on this website and fill out the forums page i click the link looked exactly like the runescape website exact same look and everything it told me to type my username and pass and what do you know i did it and within a couple of mins i was hacked and the pass was changed!!!!
i submitted a lost pass appeal and got my account back and lost all my money about a couple mill in gold coins and my best armor which was barrows
it made me sooooo mad because i had lost what i worked soooo hard for and went through being bored for and then it was gone!!!!!!!

NEVER!!!! TRUST!!!!!! THE FALSE WEBSITE!!!!!!
LOOK VERY CAREFULLY AT WHAT WEBSITE YOU ARE ON AND WHERE YOU TYPE YOUR USERNAME AND PASS BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DID AND LOSE EVEN WORSE THEN WHAT I LOST!!!!
