Post subject:  how do u avoid being scammed? here r the tips u can try
first when u r in trade and example: u wanna sell rune scimi at 30k and the player suddenly offer 300k u have to look carefully coz the scammer might juz quickly get off 300k and coz u r excited so u quickly accept (coz u think the player give the wrong amount and he did not no) but ur totally wrong! the scammer juz want u to fall on his trick and that's it!!!! now ur rune scimi is scammed
so to avoid scamming dun accept so fast it simply means that dun be greedy look at the amount he gave u carefully when u click accpet the first time u MUST be careful checking the second time be4 u accept again! the second window of trading cannot be fake coz he can't do anythin of it so dun accept fast try to like check 2 times be4 accepting
the second case is when people sell like rune scimi noted to u , u must be real careful coz scammer will quickly switch it to iron scimi or wat so ever so again double check but dun think that every1 who sell noted stuff r scammer coz some they smith rune axe so they have alot so they have to noted it sooo the main word is "checking"
maybe the third cases is amour triming... well amour triming is kinda old kind of trick but still there r noob think that there r amour triming some even think that rune (g) is made up of gold bar and rune amour well... if u think this then u r WRONG!! runescape dun have amour triming at all! those trim and gold and god amour come from clue scroll(member) if u r f2p and u want trim or god or gold amour sry u guys have to buy in world 1 varrock bank or 29(sometimes) plz dun believe there is any amour triming ok guys?
the forth cases is some scammer will say: bring ur best stuffs and dropped on the floor and press alt + f4 nah! dun believ that coz alt + f4 coz u close ur window so if u dropped ur stuff and u closed ur window the scammer will take the stuff u dropped so guys dun believe in these ok?

well there r still alot of scamming way like they act as they r jagex staff and want ur pass juz dun believe coz jagex staff will never ask 4 ur pass and dun be greedy coz scammer can easily scammed greedy people ok NO greed or else u will noe so be smart and scammer it's noobish to scam understand? :D how u guys think of my guild of avoiding scammers?

i always check my second screen. i remember when a guy tried to scam 5k from me in rsc.... pathetic it was the old "put up item then take away"


then when i was trying to buy a r2h another noob did the trade thing. this is what he did
he put up the r2h noted and i put up my money, we get to the 2nd screen and he declines. then he trades me again and puts up r2h i put up the money and then he switches it and puts up a m2h. of course i caught and i left

yeah i bet is it :roll:
also try putting paragraphs and complete sentences because it is hard to read and understand

Post subject:  yup
Some other things are when people come up to you and ask if you trust them. If you say yes they will say pvove it. If you say how they will say drop your most valuble item on the floor. Now if your smart youll walk away if your stupid you actually do this. I know it takes 30 seconds for the item to appear but sometimes you wont see it and the other pperson takes it. Another instance is if someone offers you a job say they want you to mine 5k iron. They offer you some outrageous price if you do it. But they say first they have to sell it. Smart person says they want to sell it. Dumb person gives it to them and expects the mony.

And yes paragraphs and spelling could have been used better in your guide.

Yeh the mith 2h and r2h is a common one now.

Reading this I just remembered back in RSC I had a friend who got scammed out 1m because a guy took off a white phat and replaced it with a chefs had. It actually worked. I haven't heard from my friend since then. :(

forget white phats...party crackers!!! one of the most valuable rares in rs :D

back on topic

the main thing to remember is "ALWAY CHECK THE SECOND TRADE SCREEN!", just keep that in mind (befor clicking accept) and youll be fine, also, remeber scammers are just noobs who wanna ruin the game for other people, so, if u see one, report him/her/it/other/alien/anything i may have missed (man, being politacaly correct is such a pain the neck) lol
