Everyone is a scammer at a certain price.
The above is true, and every single one of you know it. If you could get away with a 50b scam, you would. It's just that simple.
The reason people used to scam and do it now on RuneScape is that they're twelve. They see that 1m as the ultimate life goal, and will do anything to get it, no matter how sad the attempt.
For all of us on Sythe that trade every week, a lot of us go by billions without even thinking twice. Back on your first days on Scape, scamming was (projj) the norm. I remember starting and scamming was how most people made their money alongside merching. The only scam i remember trying was the "drop and press alt+f4 for dupe " And being scammed myself with a r2h/addy2h quick swap.

LOL are you kidding me? No, your argument is flawed. I'm a religious guy and i never scammed anyone and never will. Dude, lying makes me feel so guilty and i will have many sleepless nights, what do you think scamming would do to me?. I got scammed a blue party hat when it was worth 400m Gb 3 years ago, and i was sad because i needed rent money and that was the only means to get it at that time.

I will never ever scam anyone or mistreat anyone. Fortunatly i believe in the afterlife and in karma so much that i would rather kill myself then hurt someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt.

One more thing, I sold an account to someone over fagex and he was so scared that i might scam him. what i did is that i gave him my name, phone number, social insurance number, citizenship photo id and complete address. I even recorded myself saying who I'm giving the account to and what price and i will never scam it. Not many people are willing to do what i do(if there are any?).

Peace

Got scammed on paypal for 100 dollars. The guy disputed after I sold him the gp. Hopefully I win the case

You won't.

Scamming on Sythe is literally like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

I've made far money by being trustworthy and true to my word, the level of respect that I maintain with my customers makes most of them return buyers. My personal ethics and morals are against anything considered illegal, therefore I steer clear of scammers/hackers/ddosers/etc.

An easy principle to live by is "treat others the way you'd like to be treated", not once have I considered scamming others, and I've been involved in individual deals worth over $1000.

I've lost thousands of dollars and am actually in debt 2000 due to dumb fuck scammers like that. I'm sorry to say, but you're not gonna win it. Always go through player auctions.

I agree totally - guess your view is the same for scamming within RS based on this post?

Well the people who fall for the most obvious scams like doubling money in a way deserve to be scammed. They are being greedy and falling for things that are too good to be true. I don't support any form of scamming, though. I guess some younger rs players might fall for scams like that. I once saw a lower level fall for the double money scam and he lost all his gp which was around 100k. When I had 100k I thought it was a lot of gp so I figured I would just give him 100k since it isn't much to me. He accepted it, but then I got really mad because he started walking around the G.E. saying "Got scammed for 100k, need cash". I doubt he got any more money though since most runescape players are fairly greedy.

scammers are just greedy and are usually poor

Scamming has existed since the beginning. And it always will. I have never scammed, nor will I. I find it to be a waste of time and morally exhausting.
