There are many ways RuneScape players choose to scam or trick other RuneScape players for personal gain. Such dishonest methods can range from extremely simple to entirely complex. You'll be surprised by how elaborate a scammer's scheme might be. Either way, you must keep an eye out for such dishonest pixel-lovers...

Steps

1.Watch the second trade screen closely before accepting. The January 2nd update makes this scam impossible. Because you cannot trade out of the 3k limit (for non-members) and up to 30k for members. Even Mithril is worth more then 3k, so as stated before this no longer applies.

2.Report any trim offers immediately. The January 2nd update makes this scam impossible. All Black, Adamant, and Rune armor are all worth more than 3k, so you cannot trade those items without having equal value. And keep in mind that NO ONE can trim armour in runescape gold. Not even the JMods themselves (unless they have it with them already via magic backpack ...

3.Know what the "true" value of items are when trading. The January 2nd update makes this scam impossible. Whenever you trade an item it now shows the value of the item.

4.Avoid any and all "trust trades". This may sound like a broken record, but now thanks to The January 2nd update, it makes this scam impossible. You cannot give anyone more then 3k so trust tests cannot be done.

5.Beware of suspicious jobs. Do not attempt to take the Wine of Zamorak for anyone, unless you kill all of the monks first. If they say that you shouldn't kill the monks, ask them why they don't get it themselves, then leave. Taking the Wine of Zamorak without killing the Monks causes you Hit Point damage, as well as resulting in all of the monks attacking you. Another pointer is to be wary of a player asking you to do an odd task with them when in the Ardougne area, or anywhere else that contains trapped chests for the purpose of Thieving. One scam around them is telling the player that if they click to open the chest enough times, it will glitch runescape gold and give them a valuable item. Actually, it will just cause you a lot of hitpoints damage due to the trap being triggered. Beware of Runescape players that cozy up to you, act really nice and do you a few small favors but then turn around and ask for something really big (like a runescape gold party hat) just because they did a couple of little things for you while playing the game. Remember that all Runescape trades are not equal. You might feel guilty about not giving people anything in return, which is perfectly normal. But if what another runescape gold player asks for is ridiculous, just tell them no. Period. If they bully you or keep demanding an unfair Runescape trade just remove them or block them. Besides, nowadays, think of the bright side: uneven trades are almost impossible thanks to the half-loved/half-hated Trade Limit update (from late 2007). Beware of players asking you to smelt limestone if you are low on health. Limestone can cause a moderate amount of damage when smelted, and can kill a low level/player low on health.
