A_Person - guide scammer

I bought a guide, turned out I already knew what it was, and it was commonly known information. Talked with video about it, he told me to post a scam report if a_person didn't refund me. I've pmed A_person twice over the past few days with no response, and he has not responded to me on skype. However, he has been active on sythe, so I can only assume he's ignoring me.

Here are the pm's i've sent him, with no response:




This is the guide he sold me:

[2/25/13 1:01:12 AM] a_person: All you need to start efficiently is around 5k rsgp.

Step 1/setup:
Travel to Al Kharid and locate the silk salesman.

Purchase the silk from him for 3gp each, bank,
and repeat as much as desire.

Step 2/profit:
Travel to West Ardougne market.

You can do this via the lever in the wildy,
by boat, or by foot.

Resell the silk to the salesman here for 60gp each.

You first offer him 120gp per silk and then he will offer 60.


The numbers:

the profit per inventory is 1596gp.

selling the silk to this merchant for an hour will gain 90-100k.


Googled 2007 runescape moneymaking guides, and several free guides of this came up.
