Please explain what is team viewer and how it works.

I saw a while ago a sticky saying you don't need to show the via teamviewer, since people can put viruses on you're computer. I can't find it for the life of me. But that's basically what it said.

Yes, don't fall for it.

If they want you to go on TV that bad, instead of just seeing the account in-game, they are probably planning to keylog, transmit a virus, or something of that nature.

Here's a guide on what Teamviewer is: http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=816073

To the guys above, it's possible to keylog only if you type in your username and password while sharing the screen. I suggest you log into your RS account and then start sharing the screen. Be sure to keep control of your mouse because the other party can control it too by default. Once you're done proving yourself, quickly close it before the other person tries to pull a trick. I've done this a few times myself and have never been hacked so far.

Good luck.

Alright ty guys :]

Teamviewer basically is a RAT. However it's safe to download if you are asking that. However, if someone is refusing to go on teamviewer rather then show in game, then I would be concerned. Just take care when using teamviewer, they can mess around with your computer too, if you think somethings fishy, just hit "Esc". It'll close it straight-away. Good luck.

You can disable it so only you can move the mouse.

Whenever you're installing Team Viewer, click Confirm All.

It's all relative to the account and who you are trading with. More often than not, don't enter a 'Remote Support', but rather a 'Presentation'. Also, change your option so that you have to confirm all actions they attempt. I TeamView all the time with people I can trust or if I need to verify something hard to prove with pictures.
