Plankgang scam quit

You see it a lot with new traders. They have an active RS account they've used for years in-game. These accounts tend to be very ban-resistant. So they get the idea that they can hold high amounts of gold and don't manage their risk at all. For awhile it works out great and allows them to hold onto gold cheaply, giving them an advantage. But eventually they get screwed, and they're holding way too much gold at the time it happens.
100% agree with this. People get complacent and leave 3b-10b on their account because "last time it was fine" and then get GG'd for more money in gold than they have in IRL savings. Its awful, but happens a lot.

Is that right? I’ve been rwt’ing on the same account for a few years (not hundreds of mills at a time, though) with no problems. Typically I’ll take from 0-3 fire cape payments per day, how do you feel ab that?

He’ll be back under a new alias, he made too much within a very short timespan with very little opportunity cost now that he is banned on plank gang. Keep an eye out guys.

Just goes to show, you can’t ever be complacent. Break the trade up and use middlemen.
Sorry for all the victims, have a good Christmas.

Dude attracted a shitload of sketchy workers who all scammed their way out harming his business/name - guess he thought it was time to follow their example before staff would question the man in charge of those scamming workers - which we were.

He was making people pay negligible deposits which is kinda asking for trouble imo. But it did seem like he had trouble with a diff worker every week.

really never understood why people used his services mine were cheaper, faster and I've had no problems :)

I didn't understand much other than he undercut me like a scum bag, also saw him outsource several things without permission.
 
I guarantee the kid just starts up on Sythe again. He probably already has a new account with donation level and everything he's just been sitting on.
Some sketchy users have popped up the last couple months with high donor ranks for no reason.
 
I'm usually the one who gets scammed and in the red. I've still yet to recover from my losses, but never have I once scammed another person. Trust is already an issue with the customer base, which is why they rather buy bogla gold at scam prices, because they're an established site and you're paying for that security.
Not many people are willing to go through the trouble of p2p marketplace unless they're really cheap

Only problem I’d likely come across is selling 50-100m at a time ...

I mean, you could get banned eventually. But in this case we're talking about people dealing big amounts of gold, like billions, and moving 500M+ daily.

I guarantee your account is probably flagged, but they won't instant ban you if you have more than 500-1b on the account.
 
I can’t manage to keep over 200m at a single time

I can’t imagine the boner I’d get for receiving 10b and then the suicidal thoughts when I get banned 2 minutes later for 20b
