TOP 10 SCAMS in Oldschool Runescape

All this fancy social engineering, back in my day scammers were happy just to say they'd trim your armor and then walk away with your full rune set.

Thank you Kribby for this video and have a lovely weekend

I had number 4 happen to me except I didn’t fall for it. My alt and main happened to be at the G.E. They told me to trade my T bow to my alt and back to my main. When I went to right click they had a name under my account with 1 character slightly different. Wish I would’ve screenshotted it

I added a person at Zalcano and over the next few weeks of chatting in-game he threw in random, "break the ice" questions like "what's you're fav song?" or "what's your fav food" or asking what pet I have and their name. why? security questions for your two-step authentication for password recovery. Luckily I managed to catch this BS before casually giving away my account info. People nowadays are too naïve thinking the internet is a safe place and they can trust anyone on discord because there is a strict ToS. They talk to anyone who asks for it, they answer any questions, they download anything their "friends" tell them to. Talking through discord is almost a prerequisite for most people but they don't realize how easy it is to blurt out something that can get you hacked. Not everyone is your close friend just because you play the same game. Be careful.

Ty for this video, hopefully ppl get more paranoid 😅

I was oblivious to the giveaway, go to forums scam the first time I saw it. I knew it had to be too good to be true, but being dumb and naive I still logged in to those "forums". When it suddenly asked for bank pin for login to "forums" I was like "HOLD UP!", and immediately went to change my password on actual RS website. They almost had me there. Luckily nothing was lost and a valuable lesson learned.

The only people who get scammed are trying to anti-scam. Don’t engage with scammers and you’re golden.

Since getting an Elysian I can't go to the ge without scammers pestering me. Had one sit there are be like "follow me and do x and I'll give you 100m + full set of gilded" he even said bank your items to try to get trust. He sits there and goes "add me" then says I have to hop to whatever world he goes to and telegrab something, in this case he even gave me 777k rofl. As soon as he hopped I just turned my private chat off and hopped a couple worlds away. Dude then proceeded to track me down and start pestering me again rofl. Like sorry bub I ain't dancing for money, I could go boss for a day and get whatever you are trying to bait me with. That 777k payed for my farm run I was setting up when he solicited me though lol

I remember when someone blended an inquisitor mace as a rake at the sand Casino and took my 50m, never went back. 😂😂

Very nice TY :trophy-yellow-smiling:for making this. Everyone should be more aware of scams all across the web, and in real life!

I noticed that there is people who knows that they are missing with scammers but they still missing with them (for fun). Don't do that if you feel that the person you missing with are scammer or suspecious report him and leave him alone. and if you are in ge keep spamming that hw id a scammer to make all people report him hope that helps and I Love Kribuz😊

There's also people who ask to loan up items for few hours or few days and never trade it back.

I had a member of my clan recently quiet because he lost his shadow to a PvP death. We all suspect he almost had to have tried to anti scam someone on a high risk world, he quit the game right after, rip

I remember I made friends with these guys who do corp beast, we used to go daily for months and one day one of them had gambled away his bank so he asked me to borrow him a zammy spear (12.8m) and he basically took it and logged off. I explained to his friend what had happened, and he had said someone bought his friends account and had scammed a bunch of people, they felt bad and gave me back my 12.8m for the spear and apologized. Only time I ever got scammed.

Best thing is I'll never get scammed with the email scam because i never check my email lol

doubling gp isnt a scam, always works for me. idk why everyone always says they were scammed

wouldve been cool if you showed off the top 10 biggest scams, i.e biggest losses of items. Feel like everybody already knows all of these if they watch runescape youtube in general

great video! 7 is technically a lure which is scummy but technically within the game rules... all the others are blatant cheating however.

Been playing since 2003. Only time i ever got scammed was my 1st year playing in runescape classic.. fished lobster on karamja for over a month just to get 50k to buy a R2H which was the most powerful weapon at the time and immediately got talked into letting my in game friend use it in the wildy lol, he logged immediately and i went back to fishing lobbies with a good lesson learned.

I'm not afraid to admit that I got lured by the grey chins method many years ago. Lost full guthans LOL
