Heres a quick quide to tell you the basics of staying safe.
THE MOST IMPORTANT:
NEVER TELL ANYONE YOUR PASSWORD!!!!
What does 'scam' mean?
To 'scam' means to cheat another player during a trade. Lying to other players for your own personal gain is not in the spirit of the game and will not be tolerated by Runescape and you will be banned.
Is it a scam to claim an item is rare when it isn't?
Yes. This counts as decieving another player.
If you are not sure of an item DO NOT BUY IT. only buy items you want to buy
Is it a scam to switch items at the last second before pressing accept, and hoping the other player won't notice?
Yes. It is a scam to decieve another player in any shape or form.
Is it a scam to ask for lots of money for an item?
It is not considered a scam to ask for large amounts of money for an item, but it is not in the spirit of the game to over price an item.
Remember, the second trade-window is there to keep you safe from scammers. If someone is not giving you enough time to check the items being traded then we would strongly advise you to find someone else to trade with. Do not hit the 'Accept' button in the second stage of trading unless you are totally satisfied with the trade. You will not get in trouble for scamming if you choose to take your time and check that everything is as it should be.
If someone picks up my arrows is that scamming?
No, if someone picks up an item that you have dropped because you no longer require the item then this is not item scamming. When you drop an item it takes a short length of time until it becomes visible to other players, so even if you drop the item accidentally you can still retrieve it again before anyone else has the chance to pick it up.
What are some examples of item scams?
TRIMMING ARMOUR
No players can trim your armour. You will be scammed.
Offering an item and then removing the item within the first or second trade screen.
Offering an item and changing the agreed price within the first or second trade screen.
Misleading players by providing false or inaccurate information, for your own personal gain.
Luring players into the Wilderness under false pretences.
Be safe. NOT sorry

Baby, even my conversation is expensive. So if I were you, I'd pay attention.

No need to defend it's only an opinion. I think that's it's a good idea for beginners, but there aren't alot of beginners here so it probably wouldn't make it to the guide section. It's a good guide none the less. Originally Posted by Ealo
