I'v got scammed a few times, someone thought it would be funny to switch out the rune long for a mith long so i wouldnt notice, i was *****. Someone scammed me 500k yesterday, i was giving zammy legs and rune hally for a cannon and 500k, he took it away at the last second..then disappeared. I was mad.

Hey guys, it is not that she smoke because she got scammed,

HER best friend died, and she is so stressed, she wanted to play some runescape to forget about it, then, this stupid scammer poped out from nowhere and scammed her.

i feel really sorry for her

Even so, you should still do something. Anyone who has ANY suicidal thoughts needs help. Bad. If your friend is talking about suicide, talk to someone about it.

Yea I was scammed before too.. lost full rune like 2 years ago it was all I had.

But there is a few problems with banning IP's:

Some people play at libraries and then the IP would be banned and no one could play at the library anymore.
Some people have dynamic IP's and if they get banned some poor person might end up with a banned IP later
The only way to ban people on dynamic IP's is to ban a range of IP's and that will affect quite a few other people too

You telling her to be more alert right?

HOW?? scammers create programs to scam, like the one that can instantly make 300 k into 30 k.. yeah you should see the second screen.

i know the consequences of banning IP, yeah, maybe they should only limit each player within 1 to 5 accounts.. liimit each Ip address i mean

I dont think jagex really punishes members that much, because why lose a paying customer? Money is everything.

Why punish a free member? They might become a paid member one day.
