    Biggest scam involving runescape?

    Back in 2004 or so when I first started RuneScape I saved up all my cash and finally bought an Easter Egg (they were 250K ea then). I went to sell it one day and had it in the trade screen.

    He accepted on the first screen and then canceled the 2nd one..and I accidentally clicked on my Easter egg and ate it.

    I learned from then on to keep my items "noted".

    Other big scam was when I first joined this forum.. a well respected, trustworthy member scammed me of 567M

    In the month I've been here I've also got charged back well over $800 on Paypal.

    Biggest scam involving runescape?

    The climbing boots thing was a big scandal, but that's sorta off topic...

    Biggest scam I've ever experienced would have been when someone tried to scam a maxed pure from my. Nearly lost everything due to a fake email address. But I didn't. Honestly, I've never been scammed for a large ammount of money, I always use a MM or make the other guys go first. :3

    Biggest scam involving runescape?

    lost $250 to a dumbass $100 donor.

    He took $1000 paypal from some bk random, and was retarded enough to keep it, and of course the $1000 was charged back, his paypal got all fucked up and took all his payments back, and I was out $250.

    I remember a long time ago a trusted member on Sythe, I think was a Mod or a MM, scammed someone's Party Hat. Sweet jesus it was some drama.

    Biggest scam involving runescape?

    When I was new to Sythe I attempted to sell my Zerker. Without knowing about imposters and protocol to follow at that time someone impersonated a omm and cleaned me. It was only 15m but it was disappointing nevertheless

    Before making obnoxious comments, please read the thread.
    This is not a discussion about the particular scam that happened to myself, and just to clarify.
    What part of contacting the Police don't you understand?
