Regular Scams
@ Wilderness - Never EVER be led into the wilderness by someone you do not totally trust, don't even CUT through the wilderness. If you need to find somewhere or something and someone says it's in the wilderness DON'T believe them! Check RuneHQ for a guide, or check the map and find the place you need to go by yourself! You can be killed in the wilderness and if you die you only keep your 3 best items. Some people may tell you to attack them to get a reward, or cool skull above your head, DON'T do this, as a skull above your head means if you die you will lose ALL your Rs Items ! Please note, if you do obtain a skull above your head, it will disappear in 20 minutes and you will be back to normal.
@Luring - Luring is tricking someone into entering the wilderness, where you will most likely be killed. Examples of this scam are people standing behind Oziach's house and asking you to sell them something, or perhaps when you are selling something on the forum they ask you to meet at Edgeville, when you get there they tell you that they are woodcutting and to go meet them... you go out there to trade them and get killed, losing the valuable item you wanted to sell.
@New update! Runescape blocks your pass ***** see! Try it! - Runescape will not block your password. When you type out your password, it will come out as asterisks. But you should still NEVER try because one letter off and it will show it. DO NOT take chances with something this serious. People saying this should still be reported.
@Doubling items - It is impossible for anybody to duplicate items, also dropping them and pressing a sequence of buttons is also impossible, the buttons will refresh or close your browser leaving the items on the floor!
@Staff Impersonation - Some players may ask for your password or rs items claiming to be a Mod. Never do this, staff will NEVER ask for your password or items. To tell a real mod they will have Mod in front of there name, such as Mod Andrew and a gold crown next to there name when you speak. Player mods will have a silver crown next to their name. If by some chance a REAL mod asks for your password, report them and ignore them, as it's possible their account has been stolen, and they are trying to take advantage of you. Remember, NEVER EVER tell ANYONE your password, even your friends or family!
Hopefully this guide has helped you understand hacks/scams better and will prevent you from being tricked by them.
