Guide: Has it been a member?

This is a very common scam many sellers try to pull off. They tell you it has never been a member before and then a few days later after the sale, they recover the account with membership details.

There is a fool proof way to check this.
1) Go to runescape.com and click "Recover a lost password"
2) Type in the user name and choose "I have forgotten my password"
3) If the account has been a member, it will ask you for membership details. See pics below:

Non-Member:


The reason I posted this guide is to stop scammers and give some extra protection to account buyers. I believe if everyone knows this, the number of scams in which the buyer thought the account was never an MM will cut down. Also, scammers would not try as often to do this scam because they will know anyone can just look at this guide and know how to check.

Good guide. Has been posted before and is common knowledge. Wrong section by the way. I don't think it needs to be verified as your not selling it.
