"so you just want me go into this abandoned warehouse all alone, bring my entire life savings and not tell anyone I'm coming? well okay that sounds reasonable to me"

[aabeceedeeeff]

There's so many damn steps to these scams. I'm just too lazy and not greedy enough to fall for em.

[RideFixRepeat]

Key note here, if you are ever given a large amount of money by someone you just met in the past 2-4 months, accept it and then block them LOL

Kemp found a real life money glitch by making 100 videos of the exact same scam/lure that's done in a different way.

[kaelobRs]

I got social engineered through the course of months. People are sociopaths

[lurisleague]

anytime i see people get scammed like this, i have a very hard time feeling bad for them. it just seems so deserved. you're at 1 hp and 1 def, then you take out your most expensive gear and proceed through the ferox barrier. dude's brainless.

My friend and fellow clan member fell victim to the ferox enclave safe tile zone. When he died the message in clan chat was, "They lost an extraordinary amount of loot" which was devastating for them. I managed to rally the clan together for us to all donate what we could to get him back on his feet so he could raid and get back to a fraction of where he was. I knew he wouldn't accept charity due to his pride so I framed it as the clan hiring him to be the dedicated raid teacher since he was the most experienced when it came to CMs and TOB while most of us have less than 3 KC at TOB. I also knew the "Job" we hired him for is something he would have done for us anyways for free but it served as a nice enough excuse to not let his pride get in the way.

Thankfully he took the "Job" and he's mostly bounced back. It took a week and a half of him being MIA before he was online again for us to offer it to him after he got scammed. Now he's close to where he was just without the mega rares, but is raiding with us again like he used to and enjoying the game again.

This is truly evil. These people know full well they’re taking advantage of lonely people looking for friendship.
Then backstabbing them and robbing them.

You can say the victim is stupid but they’re still a victim, they were betrayed by a trusted friend.

I wish I could meet one of these scammers in real life

[Greg_Buckingham]

The moment people start drinking zamorak brews I die inside. How can you be this dumb lol

[GorastMK]

In my mind, if I leave the red barrier from Ferox I am already in wilderness. There is no "safe zone" outside of Ferox.

[redbeard]

PBJD tried doing the same to me a few months ago. he said he hit his buy limit on grapes and asked me to buy him some, and asked to add me in case he needs more. he spent the next month or so talking about raids and bossing, added me on discord and would message me saying hi and making small talk whenever i logged in. eventually, he tried getting me to "help anti-scam" and i blocked and reported him. I don't have the messages anymore but i think that was back in october

[anormalguy]

Maybe Jagex should make warnings that they dont have safe zone protection and also implement an option that does not let you move towards someone when you accept a trade

[shuaery]

I've seen at least 4 people fall to this even when they know it's a scam. Here's a quick guide to not fall for these: Don't play their games, the second your items are out of your bank you lost the game.

[im_Smitty]

Damn. Even though I would never get to that point, I had no clue that zone worked like that, pretty spooky

[JeffreyWagner-ml]

Had this exact scam happen to me but in the crafting guild. 125m down the drain. For all that dont know the only tile in the crafting guild that is safe is the one directly in front of the bank chest in a pvp world

[RaikeFPS]

Some of these scams are so devious and long term planted it’s insane. I lost my entire bank last month, 4bil, and was absolutely crushed. Playing a new ironman and not trusting a soul anymore. The guy sat in discord and relished in me sitting there nearly in tears. Absolutely crazy how twisted some of these people are. Gg LSGO you sick son of a

[MinisculeBug]

RuneScape is genuinely one of the few games where there's a high chance making friends is detrimental.

[justinr]

Imagine being a grown man faking a friendship for months for some runescape pixels 🤣

[MrHicksjustin]

This absolutely blows my mind, I don't play this game nor have I herd of it but Im hooked on all the videos for u and everyone else exposing scammers

[wbeaurowe]

I know this is about scamming people, but this is one of the reason I listed in that survey Jagex had us take a few weeks ago why I don't like going into the wilderness. Holy tomole, there are like 4308928 different rules going on out there than in the main game. Weapons and armor work different. Wildy lines. Just all these made up arbitrary rules? I don't want to spend time learning all the differences in standing one tile east vs west everywhere, so just like avoid it.
