How do these account upgade shops work?

[siruge]

They sell upgrades for 3.50-4 USD, but the cheapest you can actually purchase a legal upgrade from jagex is 5 USD.

How do they make any money from that? I remember there used to be account upgrade lines you could call and get them for free, but I havnt heard much of those lately.

 

They get them illegally.

 

[Aroxez]

Yeah, they get them illegally, but they 100% work.

 

[siruge]

And I'm sure it costs money to figure out how to get them like that?

 

[Meeder1]

Yup I'm sure it does. But they make their money back from selling the upgrades.

 

[chinito]

I believe they give you members for account

Some people used to go in Apple Stores and buy membership pins via SMS. I don't know if they still do this though.
