Here's my story of the saddest scammer EVER. This happened today. It pretty much shows how desperate they're getting...
I was on the forums looking for a Dharoks Great-Axe. I found one topic and posted my offer (1.35mil). He told me that it would be a deal at 1.38mil. I accepted.
We meet at Varrock Square and he says, "Ah.. I can't trade. What do I do?" I told him how to fix it. We went to Lumbridge, to Bob's axes, and he needed to borrow some gp for the fix. I gave 10k. I asked him if he was done, he showed me the great-axe and logged... for 10k...
When you have to go through all that trouble to get 10k from someone, you know you're sad... Especially from off the forums and taking 10 minutes to walk from point A to point B. :\
I know I gave him the 10k and that was leading to him leaving with it, but come on.. 10k.
