    The most ridiculous scams?

    When I was buying a Santa hat on my skiller (pre-2006) players were asking me to follow them into a room with another play standing by the door and a mugger in the room lol.

    Trying to trade a white 2h sword and pretend it was a saradomin sword was pretty common ages ago. It's so silly though with the trade value counter haha.

    "I can turn your armor white, just give me your addy g"- Back when a guy had initiate armor telling me he could make mine white (it was in an f2p world and I had never seen it before).

    Most ridiculous scam Id say when someone legit from a gambling clan scams

    Edit: I fall for one of the most stupid scams once lol, this was when I first started playing Rs like 5 years ago, I've quit already but I remember I spent an entire morning killing cows for cowhides, collected around 100 of them so I went to the varrock bank and was like "Selling 100 cowhides 20k" and a random came and offered me like 25k and a beef, so I got kinda excited and he took the money out and the traded ended up being 100 cowhides for a beef

    I remember someone trying this one on me when I was hanging around dragon dyce. They would give you a lava titan and scroll for its special move and ask you to teleport them by using the scroll on them. But using the scroll would just instantly teleport you to level 41 wilderness. I don't think it's possible anymore because it gives you a warning message.

    The most ridiculous scams?

    Oddest thing that's happen to me:

    A guy asked me to double his 500k bank, so I did as I was in a good mood and it seemed as if the 500k would help him out.
    After that trade he trades me again and puts up like 8m and starts laughing saying gf scammed 500k.
    I put max cash and a green hat I had at the time in the trade and he just logged out.
    Was deffinately the strangest 'scam' I've ever had done on me.
    As far as real scams go it normally just lures, they tend to say they can double my blue or w/e I have or use it to get another one and I just play dead until they leave.

    when you say buying whip 2.7m and when they trade you show ahrims staff
    and on your friend says buying ahrims staff 8.2m or whatever

    I personally have to say the trimming armour one :(. I don`t even think you can trim armour from what I know of so far and who would ever fall for that?

    If something seems to good to be true then it probably is :).
