One of the easiest ways to accidentally stumble onto a fake Runescape site is through visiting fansites.
Most forums allow anyone who registers the ability to mask their link behind an alternative display text through BBCode. Phishers will abuse this feature by posting or pming an innocent looking message with their malicious link hidden behind what appears to be a legitimately safe link. Suggested Action: Always be careful when browsing the web, even on fansites. Modern browsers allow you to see where a link leads to if you hover your mouse over it before clicking. If you receive a pm from someone you don't know with a link inside, do not trust it.

A player with no armour the lurer asks someone with relatively expensive armour the victim to come into the dangerous portal to kill them. After the lurer says that to the soon-to-be victim, they private message the killer that the victim is attacking them.
Then, the killer rushes in and freezes the victim with ice spells followed by various stunning abilities like Impact and Destroy to finish the victim off. The lurer and killer then grab the victim's armour and carried items. Legitimate players won't ask to be killed in the dangerous Red Portal.
Also in the dangerous Red Portal , lurers can lure players by persuading the victim and trading the victim some Telegrab runes and drop an amount of money, which is usually around 10, since it looks like millions when dropped, in the dangerous zone. First, the lurer shows that it is safe to obtain the money by dropping a low amount of coins or a cheap item there and lets the victim tele-grab it, or said lurer has the victim demonstrate this in the safe White Portal.
Afterwards, the lurer claims that they will drop a large amount of money or an item with high value. Instead of dropping the money or item near the portal, however, the lurer drops it behind a tree at the edge of the arena on the east or west side. Next, the unsuspecting victim tele-grabs the money or item, but because it's behind the tree, they will automatically run into the dangerous zone, tele-grab and get killed upon entering the dangerous zone.
The killer typically uses magic after the victim is frozen or stunned. Therefore, the player would lose all of their carried items and armour upon death. After an update, examining a stack of coins on the ground will show the exact number of coins there are, diminishing the effectiveness of the scam.
There is also another type of lure commonly found in the Purple portal section of Clan Wars. In this type of lure, there's almost always an ancient mage or ranger with some wealth and good gear and most importantly, a low-level lurer.
Like the aforementioned Red portal lure, you'll be befriended and persuaded by this lurer into Clan Wars with the intention of anti-luring someone, which will turn out to be the lurer's friend in the end. Your so-called friend will challenge the second lurer and send you to your ultimate doom. They'll get all your carried wealth and split it among them. This lure was named after the person who created it.
It takes place in the purple portal, and involves the use of clone, or 'dupe' accounts accounts with almost identical looking names in order to deceive victims. The backbone of this lure is relying on the victim believing that they are safe upon entering the purple portal, as once a game starts players have 2 minutes before combat can begin. This illusion is sold with clone account names.
The victim is told that they are anti luring, and only have to step into the purple portal right at the beginning to show that they have their expensive item s. Keep in mind that the first 2 minutes are safe, and a player can enter for a few seconds and exit once again via the portal.
The victim thinks that they will enter, show their rare items, and then exit and bank them to ensure that they are not lured. However, the victim joins the friends chat of a clone account thinking it is the same person in front of them. For instance, let's suppose Lurer A is named Hal2O9.
When you type that name in to join their friends chat, you actually join Hal, because it is natural to assume that its rather than 2-the capital letter 'o' So, the victim thinks that the person they are with Hal2o9 is the same as the friends chat they have joined Hal The victim watches the fake Hal in front of them challenge the person that is supposed to get anti-lured. They both join into a clan wars game, and the victim naturally supposes that the game has just started, and that they have 2 whole minutes to enter briefly, show off their item and leave before any danger can occur.
The trick of this lure is that the Hal's friend chat that you are actually in Hal has already started a game long before, and a team is waiting right at the entrance to kill the player instantly upon entering. So from the victims eyes, they watch the Hal2O9 start a game, and goes to enter that game, but instead enters another game where the 2 minute timer has already expired, and is killed instantly. A scammer will approach a victim who owns a valuable item and ask to fight them in the Wilderness.
The scammer will recommend that the victim bank every item except the valuable item, and use the Protect Item prayer or curse to keep their sole item safe.
After the victim attacks the scammer, the scammer will initiate some form of prayer drain, such as Smite , or Soul Split , to drain the victim's prayer points and deactivate Protect Item. The scammer will then kill the victim and take their item. The scammer may also ask the victim to activate the Redemption prayer along with Protect Item. The scammer may ask the victim to hop worlds together, citing an excuse such as lag or a lack of people in the area. Upon logging back in, the victim's Protect Item prayer or curse will be turned off, and the scammer will attempt to kill the victim as quickly as possible before the victim can reactivate Protect Item.
It is also possible to quick-hop to a high-risk world from within the wilderness, so even 1 itemers with quick reactions are at risk. Suggested action: Don't hop world if you think you are not fast enough to active Protect Item after you hopped worlds or at all without checking the type of world being hopped to.
A scammer equips a particular set of items that cause their character to glitch, such as a floating cape or stretching head. The scammer claims to victims that the glitch can be replicated by equipping a single item, summoning a lava titan , and using its teleport function.
This produces no such glitch; the titan teleports the victim to the entrance of the Lava Maze , in deep Wilderness, where the scammer's accomplices wait to kill the victim and collect their items. High-level players wearing expensive equipment are the most common targets for this lure, as 83 Summoning is required to summon a lava titan.
However, on 15 March , a warning message is given when trying to teleport with the lava titan. A scammer will offer to lend an item to a victim, then fight them in the Wilderness. Once the victim is killed, the lent item will be kept over any of the victim's other item s. Suggested action: Never accept item lending in wilderness unless you can keep your item after you are lent one item.
A scammer will announce a drop party at Daemonheim , then lead everyone south to the Wilderness gate. The scammer will drop an item on the other side of the gate, in the Wilderness, and then kill anyone who enters the Wilderness to take it. The scammer may cast Ice barrage to prevent victims from running also Teleblock to prevent victims from teleporting out. This scam may also occur in the vicinity of the Wilderness wall. Suggested action: If you really want to take part in this type of drop party, bank everything before you do so.
This scam entails luring the victim into deep Wilderness like the Deserted Keep and persuading the victim to purchase a rare for a cheap price. As soon as the victim withdraws their money from the money pouch , they will be unable to put it back and will subsequently get killed for it. If it's too good to be true, then it isn't! This scam involves the use of Tele-group Ice Plateau to transport an unsuspecting player into the deep Wilderness, wherein they can be killed by the scammer and any accomplices for their items.
Although the spell has a confirmation screen warning players that they are about to teleport into the Wilderness, scammers may attempt to get players to accept the teleport anyway. A scammer may offer a teleport to another location, such as Catherby , and instead cast Tele-group Ice Plateau in the hope that the victim won't notice.
A scammer may also enter a populated area such as the Grand Exchange and claim to be hosting a drop party, or giving away valuable items. The scammer will attract a large crowd of players, then cast Tele-group Ice Plateau, telling the crowd that whoever accepts the fastest will receive valuable items.
Suggested action: Never turn Accept aid on unless you are in a dungeoneering party with others or during a boss fight. This scam involves the use of Ancient Magicks tele tablets to teleport an unsuspecting player into the Wilderness, wherein they can be killed by the scammer or any accomplices for their items.
The scammer will confront the player and ask them to buy an item from a shop in a remote location, or make up another excuse, to trade them a tele tab either to Dareeyak , Carrallanger , Annakarl , or Ghorrock ; all leading to Wilderness. When the player unsuspectingly teleports to wilderness, either the scammer, or an accomplice will kill the player. Since the requirement to craft Ancient teleport tablets is Deathmatch points, it is not a popular scam. Suggested action: If any player trades you a teleport tablet, make sure it doesn't lead into any dangerous places before teleporting.
It is also a common sight to see someone asking for a help with a daily challenge, for example a Teleother to Falador 17 times. When you agree on helping the scammer, they will teleport you for almost the needed amount of times and when you are reaching the goal, they might start talking about weather or something like that and when you are unsuspecting and have agreed a teleportation for a dozen times, you might start losing focus on what you are actually doing and this is the time when the scammer will try to teleport you to the wilderness.
So if you are helping anyone, be careful on where you are being teleported. There are no Daily Challenges that require a player to Teleother to Falador or any other location. Therefore anyone asking you to participate in Teleother to Falador or any other location to help them with their Daily Challenge, is actually trying to scam you. This scam involves the use of the wilderness, Daemonheim, and trust.
A player the triple agent will tell the victim that they are doing an anti-scam, to essentially scam a scammer. The player will tell the victim they are luring the scammer to them. The scammer will have the victim teleport to Daemonheim and bank everything but one or two valuables.
Then they will take them to the Daemonheim wilderness gate. The scammer will invite the victim to a Dungeoneering party, the triple agent says this is so they can see the victim drop items. The triple agent will say they have a method of stealing items from the scammer, who will drop them.
The scammer will ask the victim to drop the valuables on the safe side, and then they will drop their items in the wild. The triple agent leads the victim to believe that their items are not at risk since they are on the safe side and can be quickly picked up. This is untrue.
The trick of the scam is that the scammer has a friend on the safe side. The triple agent will say they are lying in wait to grab the victim's items, but they are not. When the victim drops their items, the scammer's friend starts a dungeon. And the victim is taken to a dungeon.
The scammer and triple agent then are free to pick up their items. This scam may have lost popularity since Jagex changed the ring of kinship, the 'inspect' action cannot be done outside a dungeon. This scam involves your opponent in the duel arena changing the rules before fighting just before you hit accept.
For example, you are going to duel with the scammer and your bet is a valuable item. You agree that no food will be used during the fight, but just before you hit the 'accept' button the scammer unticks the 'No Food' option. Of course, the scammer brought food with them and will easily defeat you since you most likely didn't bring food yourself. You can avoid this scam by checking the second confirmation screen carefully, just like trade scams.
This scam isn't right anymore you can't quick change an option anymore. It will warn you. If you are seen entering the chaos tunnels, a scammer will contact you under pretense of owing you some money and to meet them in Edgevile. If you return on foot, you will be rushed upon exiting the Chaos Tunnels and entering the wilderness. If you otherwise teleport to the lodestone, the scammer will log off, prompting you to return to your business in the Chaos Tunnels upon which you will get rushed before entering the Chaos Tunnels.
While the trade window contains a number of protections to prevent scamming, such as a confirmation screen and a wealth tracker that determines how balanced a trade is, scammers have nonetheless found ways to circumvent these protections and scam players out of money or items.
A scammer will offer to round someone's collection of coins up to the nearest million coins in one trade. The victim will offer an amount for example, , coins in trade and the scammer will offer the remainder in this case, , coins. However, because this is being done in one trade, the victim will give the scammer , coins and will receive , coins in return, resulting in a loss of , coins for the victim.
This scam can be easily avoided by paying attention to the bottom of the trade window, which will always display the net value of the trade. A scammer would approach a victim who owns a valuable item, such as Bandos tassets.
The scammer would offer to give the victim their own Bandos tassets if the victim lent the scammer their tassets until logout. The scammer would accept on the first screen, but decline on the second, hoping that the victim would not notice the "Other player declined trade. If fooled, the victim would believe that they now owned the scammer's tassets, and that their tassets were lent to the scammer.
The scammer would then request that the victim trade return "their" tassets to them in trade—in fact, the victim would be giving their own tassets to the scammer, and the scammer would run off with both tassets. In response to this scam, on 4 January , Jagex made the "Other player declined trade!
Some scammers have continued to use this scam even after the update, by requiring that the victim join their friends chat and set the chat interface to friends chat only. This filters out all game messages, including the "Other player declined trade! A scammer approaches a victim with a valuable item and persuades them to drop it on the floor, claiming knowledge of a glitch that will duplicate the item, or otherwise benefit the victim.
Once the item is dropped, the scammer trades the victim a number of seemingly random items, including some teletabs. The scammer claims that if the victim trades back the items in the exact order in which they were given, the glitch will occur. The two will trade again, and the victim will begin offering the items. Once the victim begins offering teleport items, the scammer will decline the trade, hoping that the victim accidentally left-clicks a teletab and activates it, teleporting away.
The scammer is then free to pick up the victim's item once it appears for them on the ground. This scam may also be used without the element of a dropped item - for example, "if you trade these items back in this exact order, I'll give you 5M". While the victim won't lose any money or items in this instance, it will still teleport them away, to their annoyance. Note that in RuneScape 3 using the new interface, your inventory will appear right next to the trading window when you start trading, almost always in a different spot than your "real" inventory is, making the scam fairly obsolete.
Players should still be wary, though. A scammer will ask the victim to purchase a large quantity of spirit shards from an in-game Summoning shop for 25 coins each, then sell them to them. However, the Grand Exchange value of a spirit shard is almost always below 25 coins, typically 23 or The scammer will buy the shards for their market price, instead of 25 coins each, and the trade window will report that the trade is even. The victim will lose 1 or 2 coins per spirit shard in this manner.
The scammer then sells the shards at the pet shop. It is easy to avoid this scam, as all players can easily purchase a near-unlimited number of spirit shards from Summoning shops. Therefore there is no legitimate need for a player to ask another player to buy them spirit shards. A scammer will offer a victim a trade that is either fair or beneficial for the victim, such as replacing one set of armour with a more expensive set. However, the scammer will claim that their game is lagging and the trade needs to be performed quickly.
The scammer will offer an expensive armour set, but then decline the trade and blame it on lag. In the next trade window, the scammer will offer an inexpensive armour set, such as iron , hoping that the victim is too excited about getting a good deal to carefully check the trade window. The end result is that the victim is scammed out of their armour set.
This is related to Item-switching scam. Player 1: Selling torstol seeds for 10m! Player 1 declined trade, usually 1 to 3 seconds after player 2 offered the coins 10m in this case.
Player 2 offers 10m From now on, Player 2 will accept the trade as soon as possible, they aren't aware of the item switching done by player 1.
The scammer will ask the victim to test an alleged glitch usually involving an exploit that doubles any items in the trade screen , by telling the victim to offer coins and valuable items in the trade window. The scammer will then ask the victim to accept once and keep clicking on the "W" in "Wealth transfer" in the first trade window. The key to this scam is the fact that the "W" in "Wealth transfer" is in the same spot as the "Accept" button in the second trade window.
The scammer hopes that the victim will click the "W" as fast as possible, and accidentally click "Accept" on the second trade screen, inadvertently giving the scammer all of their valuables.
