I posted a query yesterday looking to buy gold on OSRS. The next morning, I was contacted by miguel.jrr privately, who invited me to his Discord server. Since he was verified on the official ApolloGP discord, I assumed this was normal. Once inside, he "opened a ticket" where I expressed my interest in buying 10 dollars' worth of OSRS gold.
Miguel insisted that I would need to pay first and that the payment would need to be 20 dollars minimum (plus an additional 5% "finder's fee"). Initially, he got the total wrong and made it 26 dollars, which should have tipped me off that it was a scam. However, since his private discord had numerous "vouches" (which I now realize are from fake accounts), I trusted him anyway.
After sending him the money through F&F on Paypal (which was also suspicious, but again, I trusted him due to his relationship with the Apollo server and its integrity), he instructed me to meet him in Ferox in the Wilderness. Once I came out there and asked him where he was, he kicked me from Discord and blocked me without giving me a single gold piece. I suspect he was hoping not only to scam me out of my money, but also to kill me for my gear as well.
Considering that Miguel.jrr (I think he's referred to as 07 something in the Discord) represents Apollo, I trust that action will be taken to remove his account to protect the integrity of the trade and ensure he doesn't scam anyone else.
