I was buying an item for a huge amount of money. On world 2. This person traded me and did not put the item up, I put my cash up. They asked me if I wanted to buy 2 of them. They still did not show the item. I declined the trade because I did not know how to speak to them while in a trade window. Again we traded and again they saw my money and did not show me said item. They kept talking to me about I can't remember what, obviously about said item. Again the trade was declined by myself I suppose, so I could talk. Now they traded with me again and asked me to show the money I was prepared to pay (they had already seen this) Then they gave me a Camelot tab and told me the item was on their main and to go there and add their main. Obviously I declined the trade but I was still thinking they might be legit. They logged and I tele'd. Of course no one showed up at Camelot by this time I was thinking I didn't want to deal with them anyways. It just so happened I was in a discussion with another person who had seen my post on the forum and had what I wanted to buy but for a bit more money. So I went to buy it off of him and I told him about the previous incident. He asked me for his name and then said, "Oh yeah, he's a tab scammer." I did not feel I could report this as it took more than the minute allowed for reporting a scam, plus I did not get scammed. You may delete my post so as to not give other people ideas and then add this as a scam in your own words. (I notice you don't give full facts) Anyways have fun playing and thanks for educating people.

Someone tried to scam me today. I was in the GE, and a guy that was a level 200 said he was quitting and would give me some cool stuff. So, I accepted his trade request, saw him put up 2 items (forgot what they were) worth 70+ mil. He closed the trade and told me to follow him. I knew he was going to scam me, but I followed anyway so I could get proof and report him.

So I follow him to the sawmill, and he said he was going to youtube it. He told me to go into a building there (little shed on the south side of the sawmill) and drop my items (AGS, bandos armor) on the inside, on the other side of the door and he would give me his 70m items. At this point, I thought I had enough on him to get him punished by Jagex, so I sent the report.

Not sure how he would have scammed me, unless the door would open once and not a second time. But I wasn't about to test my luck.

If someone could tell me what his plan was, if I dropped my stuff... I would appreciate it.
