A few years ago, someone managed to successfully scam me with the so called 'buyer-seller' scam.

Basically they offer you an item (Easter Egg in my case), for about two times what it's worth. Of course I said no, but then some other guy pmed me saying that he's buying that exact same item for like three times its worth. Well after buying it from the seller, the buying person kept saying that he would buy after he did some stuff. Well the 'stuff' took forever, and I realised he wasn't going to buy at all.

Since it consumed all my cash, I sold it for the normal price, which meant like 500k loss.

The worst part is probably that if I had kept it until now, it would have actually been worth more than what I bought it for.

Well this is funny, right after viewing this topic, I couldn't think of any pitiful scams. I go to the RS forums to buy some stuff I needed. Open up one of the market forums and see this

I've had a couple bad experiences =P mine was probabaly back on Phuz, I sold my red party hat for 250k with a needle in the next trade window. the needle looked invisble and were a stackable item so they had number. and it added an etra number to 250k so insteead of 250 000 it looked like
250000|0
^ Needle

hmm that was probably my worst experience. but iv ebeen talked to about the lottery,"jagex" members etc. just isnt fun =(

oh well, fave fun and watch out =)

thats one of the most legal scams ever, because it can't be deemed a scam, because one person is selling something and the other is buying it. My friends did that one with the phats back in rsc made a lot of money, they are rich now, and im still poor.

Hate to disappoint you Swej but it is a scam. It has been asked and answered before on the official forums and is covered under the following:

QUOTE

Misleading players by providing false or inaccurate information, for your own personal gain.

I do have a screenshot of a reply I received when I asked this question directly and I was told it is a scam and it is a bannable offense.

Besides, there is no such thing as a legal scam. A scam is a scam. The problem is that the victim needs to log both of the scammers which nobody ever does. It makes it a very difficult scam for JAGeX to catch.

So, if someone offers to sell you an item for alot more than it is worth, don't buy it. If ,in a short period of time, you get a PM from someone you don't know asking to buy it for even more than that, it's a scam. It is that simple.

Now, we can either talk about the topic or do away with the thread.

Me: Reported for item scam

Member: I will kill you

Me: Try me wearing your lol dr chain

Member: None gets banned idiot noob

Suddenlly he disapears. I open another window and check his name. Not in highscores anymore.
