    Hey so I never understood how the scam on RS works where the people are like giving 28 free sharks, but you have to show inventory first.

    How does that work?

    Just curious.

    Well they tell you to put everything on the trade screen hoping that you'll press the accept button and forget that you put your inventory on the trade screen.

    In theory no one would.

    In practice however its so easy to fall for it. Our brains are triggered to respond to the words FREE, SALE, HALF PRICE.

    They put up 28 free "dragon bones" for example, you put up six items, they take off 6 dragon bones and accept, like mentioned earlier the mind doesn't go that much into depth as soon as its heard the word 'FREE'.

    All a case of Social Eegineering, manipulate someones mind into thinking that you are doing them a favour, you are giving them something for.. Keyword "Free." Causing some people to let their guard down and trust you.

    Then it's just hoping that the person isn't sharp enough to notice that they have left all their items still in the trading screen.
