Avoid Runescape Scams and get to Keep Your Runescape Items
One of the most common Runescape scams is the old trading scam where the scammer will start out by offering an item or amount of cash and then quickly change the items they are offering to something very similar in description or image to what you believe that you were to be receiving from the trade, but when in actual fact the value of the Runescape item or amount of Runescape gold you will be receiving will be vastly short of what you originally thought you were receiving. So how can your avoid these sorts of Runescape scams, well it’s pretty simple really – don’t rush your Runescape trades. Take your time, review each screen before accepting the trade, make sure you are actually getting the Runescape items you original agreed to. In addition to checking Runescape trade screens, to some degree, you shouldn’t trust players you don’t know, regardless of their level. There are a lot more Runescape scams other than this trade screen scams, here are a couple of the more common Runescape scams you will hear whilst you play Runescape.

Item Duplicator Runescape Scam
This scam involves someone offering to duplicate your Runescape items for you, all you have to do is give them your Runescape items and then they will do their “magic” to them. The reality is that they will take your items and never return. Of course this scams sounds so simple it is hard to believe that anyone would fall for it, well often what many of these scammers will do is suggest to you that you give them a cheaper item, like adamite or mithril armor or weapons and then they will proceed to give you back two of the items you just gave them, and then they may even suggest you give them another cheap item which they will again give back two of, and now having built a little trust up you may give them a couple of items that are little more expensive like some rune armor which they will then keep. So whilst they have given you some adamite and mithril items you have lost out overall because they stole your rune items which were far more gold.

The Personal Item Duplicator Scam
This Runescape scam is a little cruder and essentially involves someone convincing you that they have found out a way to duplicate Runescape items, and that you can do it as well. Then they will something to the effect of, “all you have to do is place the Runescape item on the floor and then wait 5 seconds and then stand on the item and then simultaneously press ALT + F4, at which point your internet window will close and you will be logged out of Runescape and considering it will take you quite awhile to load a new window and load Runescape again by which time the items you dropped will have spawned so that everyone can see them and which point the person who convinced you that you could duplicate your Runescape items has picked the items your left on ground up and run away.

These are a few of the more popular Runescape Scams out there and as I mentioned earlier in this articles more and more people are searching to find out how to scam people on Runescape and the old saying that there is a sucker born every minute is relevant in Runescape as it is in real life. So be aware of things that are too good to be true and remember that there are no such things are Runescape item duplicators so don’t fall for the Runescape scams that involved people claiming that they can duplicate your Runescape items.

Runescape scams are unfortunately rife within the Runescape community. I think the main reason for this is that you don’t even need any kind of account to play the game - you just create a character and play so there is just no comeback for the scammers out there. In this article I’ll talk about the various Runescape scams that are common, and how to avoid them.

Runescape Scams - Account / Password Scam

First of all, a piece of basic advice - never give your account and password to anybody! Below is a sample of the kind of thing you’ll see to try and scam you out of your account:

i quit runescape

ok i didnt know who to give my stuff to on runescape im an ex mod whos quiting my acc name is sirvs lvl 122 i have 23 party hats assorted colors full dragon 14 santa hats full guth,sara,and zammy,…and alot more plz email me ur acc name and pass and i will get back to u= )

You might see this as a comment on a blog, in a forum post, a Facebook group or whatever. This scam is simple because the scammer simply asks you for your account name and password. What do you think he’s going to do with it if you send it to him? He’s going to steal all your stuff!

Runescape Scams - The Fake Software Scam

There are a load of Runescape scams that take the form of third party software that is fake. There are actually a few genuine pieces of software for Runescape but many scammers cash in on this knowledge and knock out fake programs that look like the real ones and in fact do all sorts of nasty things such as:

• Stealing your player name & password
• Infecting your system with viruses
• Infecting your system with Spyware

You might wonder why people would want to infect your system with viruses and spyware? Well, as far as viruses go, it’s just fun for them. Some people just get a kick out of hurting others.

However the spyware has another motive. There are companies that pay programmers money on a ‘per install’ basis if they embed code in their program and that code collects your user information. So the scammer gets paid, and the company gets your user information!
