Clean-up needed.[]

This article seems to need a huge clean-up.

Surely we can categorize these scams more generically...

- 'Trust'

- 'Luring to death'

- 'Trade window scams'

- 'Gambling against the odds'

Etc.

As it is is now, the article looks far from useful to anyone, it's really just one large clutter.

Encyclopedicness of example scams[]

I'm questioning the encyclopedic value of edits like this, which use dialog to demonstrate an example of a particular scam. I find these examples to be generally poorly written and an unnecessary inflation of the page's size. What do others think? --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 03:05, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Clan founding scam[]

A scammer will claim to get players to help found his/her clan. These scammers will often say payments (for example, 1 mil to each 'clan founder') will be given once the victims leave their clans (if any) so as to help the scammer to found his/her clan. The scammer will then ask the victims to follow him/her to the Clan camp to 'act like' founding a clan and paying out to the victims. However, the scammer will then log out, leaving the victims behind.

I removed the above, since it seems more like a troll than a scam. I don't see the troll making cash out of this. Rich Farmbrough, 00:43 24 January 2014 (UTC).

Varrock Cage scam[]

Consists of 2 players.

Player 1 is the obvious scammer, player 2 is the "helpful player"

Player 1 asks you to go to the Varrock cages, go inside and drop items, then come out and trade him/her for money and a grand seed pod.

Player 2 says to not click the pod as it teleports you.

The real plan is entering the cage as soon as you get out, then you can't get in anymore, since there can only be 1 person per cage.
