100% Foolproof Guide to Not Getting Scammed When Buying Accounts

Don't buy them. All accounts are recoverable, even if it doesn't have recovery questions and it seems like the most secure account in the world.

I bought an account with no recovs, played it for a year, got 100m+ worth of stuff on it, and one day I just couldn't log on to it. A few weeks later, I see that it's levels have gone up and even online during public chat.

I don't actually play RuneScape anymore, and I haven't since the trade update, but I just thought I'd give some advice to you people still trapped in this game.

Let that be a lesson to you all.

 

lol? that isn't possible? after yearr------

 

Happened. I was just as perplexed as you were. I didn't think it was possible, but for some reason, the original owner got the account back.

 

It is possible especially if the original owner knew the creation date, first password, first membership information.
Back to topic its not really a good guide, because if your wanting to buy an account, that means you probably will, so not buying it wouldn't really be a way not getting scammed when buying an account.

 

Guys come on instead of buying an account save up that money for something good like a gun lol.

 

You've traded with a scammer. That's all. If you trade with someone really trustworthy, most likely the account won't get recovered.

 

Obviously the guy was a scammer seeing that I don't have the account anymore. There's no one 100% trustworthy. There are individuals on here that are more trustworthy than others, but still. No one's 100%.

Why do you think so many official MM's have gotten banned for scamming? Because the individual with the coveted item trusted the MM and paid the price for it. I'm not saying that official MM's are bad, I use a lot of them and they do their job well. But I will never do an extremely high value trade because greed can take over at any moment. Plus, anyone who spends $100+ on this game needs to get a life.

 

It is possible, especially if the account has been member before.. and the original person knows it along with original creation date and isp.

 

I have a fiancée and 2 bands, does that mean I need a life if I've spent 500$ on RS?
Ever thought people might just have more money than you?

 

Yes i agree with you. :L

thats why i don't bother buying them .. ><

 

you dont need information, all jagex has to do is check the ip and if it was the same.

 

You need a new hobby, that's what your ass needs.

 

It's always possible to recover an account, if you're the original owner or have original information it's a piece of cake.
Even if it would be 5 years later.

 

it is completely possible i had someonegive me an acc at level 12 and it rainerd if for months got 94 mage 90 range like over 50m and liek 3 fireecapes with...next thing you kno the acc is done and its still inhigh scores for the stats and etc...all heneeds is the origional ip address and origional password and its recoverable and yes if they got it member before then you pretty much wasted all that tiem of gameplay ...='(

 

Had a bad experience with buying an account, don't recommend it..

 

You have to know who your trading with. People may recover their accounts in the near future. It's the way people work. They think they are done with runescape forever, and one day they decide to pick up on it again and recover their accounts. You just have to know the limits to buying accounts. You should have set recoveries, bank pin, etc... If recoveries are set for a year, most likely the owner themselves wont even be able to get it back.

 

This is a sad fact but he is right everyone. It does not matter if the account has recovery questions, an email, or any of that junk. All the original owner has to do is submit a stolen account appeal and have some of the old passwords, zip code, internet provider, and match the original ip address that the account was made with. Just stick to buying accounts from trusted members and best of luck!

 

Same thing happened to me.. bought a account back in the days and like last year it got recovered. Only way that you can stop it is if you got all the info that the original person knows. Now i made my own main and im doing pretty good in rs now

 

not ''every'' account is recoverable, some accounts are, some not.

like.

if someone has no recovs, e-mail, and you change the pass like once a day you will 100% hack it back if u have it for over a month.
also you need to save the old IP which the other guy played on this helps for ur recovery migth someone hack back.

just some tips.

 

This isn't a guide, it's advice.
