    For people who have been scammed.

    If you've been scammed on Sythe and they do nothing about it? But possibly forum bans that can be Evaded.. Theres a site you can go to for this which is a SERIOUS sight so DO NOT come here unless your serious about reporting someone. This is were you report people for internet fraud, Paypal scamming ECT.

    What are you supposed to say in the report?
    I sold him some Runescape items (COPYRIGHTED BY JAGEX - THEREFOR YOU CANT SELL THEM - MEANING YOUR BREAKING A RULE)
    And he didnt pay me?

    For people who have been scammed.

    Good luck, it would be near impossible to prosecute someone for scamming you a few bucks. The amount of proof needed would be too much.

    Also about the banning thing, yes it's too easy to change your ip. Most people have dynamic isp which means they change every so often. They can even change it when ever they want by fooling their isp by changing their mac address forcing the isp to assign them a new ip.

    You best way of getting your money back is to claim it on paypal. This is why you should think before you buy virtual goods.

    Under $1,000 dollars? Good luck. Under $250, the government can't charge anyone with a crime. Virtual Goods have no real life value in the United States. I just made every single scam report ever made on Sythe fail in the eyes of IC3.

    The IC3 is for people scammed of serious Real Life money by true scam artists. If you want to submit something to them, don't feel sad if you never get a response.

    Secondly, if you don't live in the same Country as your scammer, the ICC won't take your case unless you are scammed of $5,000

    Sorry to ruin your fun....

    For people who have been scammed.

    Runescape property is owned by Jagex. You cannot sell it.

    Therefore if you've been scammed, legally there is hardly anything you can do. The police cannot take their department's efforts into hands of "scams" like this.


    Also, if it were small time like Real life item scams, hardly anything will still be done.

    They have bigger things to worry about than "cat in the tree" issues.

    100% agree with all of that, I highly doubt the Government would care about tiny Runescape related scams of small value.

    Runescape accounts have no real life value. Technically, all accounts sold on here a worth $0.00. If you are scammed, the scammer took nothing from you in any matter.

    These people never do shit they have way too much going on to worry about a bunch of kids selling copyrighted items. Must likely you'd get taken in for copyright infringement than the "scammer".

    We're all rule breakers, scammers are just breaking more rules :/
    Too sad not much can be done about those scammers. Even though it is internet fraud. That is just sad.

    We usually catch the ban evaders and IP ban them. Well. If you'd like to go to that site and attempt to file a report, you're making a fool out of yourself. The police would honestly just laugh.

    Right, they'd see its over a gaming account, and just ignore it completely.
