If this is in the wrong forum, I do apologize.
I'm just curious to see the biggest scams that have happened to you, perhaps on sythe, involving runescape.
The largest scam that ever happened to me, [I've posted about it before]
Involved my supposed ' best friend ' who lives on the same road as myself. We were selling a maxed account, I bought the account off him in the first place for £200, but then agreed to share the profits at the end since it was worth a lot more at the time.
We were asking for about £2000 to begin with, an ambitious aim to say the least, that gradually decreased as we became more and more inpatient.
It came to that time, when my family where going on holiday, [I went too] and we would be away for approximately two weeks. Bearing in mind I'd known this person for four years, I didn't even consider what was about to happen.
So I came back two weeks later, with a lovely tan, a couple of numbers...yadda yadda.
Pretty much the first thing I did was ask him how the account had been going, he explained he'd had a buyer, but he'd been scammed, and the buyer had got the account perm-banned. I checked it out on the hs [before name changing] and sure enough it had been removed. I then checked the account and it had recieved a permanent ban for RWT.
My heart pretty much sunk then...
It was not until two weeks later, when I was going through the emails, that I found a receipt from PayPal for the sum of $990.
He hasn't spoken to me since that day.
Yes believe me I've tried everything and anything, even tried contacting the Police at one point, but they said I didn't have sufficient evidence.
