The Anti-Scam Trading Method for Unidentified Herbs (OBSOLETE) Jagex Rules and Policies on Account and Password Scamming in RuneScape

Having a scammer trick you out of your items will make you angry and upset, but that's nothing compared to getting tricked out of your entire account. People who do this are indeed out there in RuneScape, working hard to find way to steal your password and gain access to your account. Once on the account they can take all of your items, or even do much worse things like stealing your character permanently, or getting it banned from the game.

As with item scams, Jagex deliberately refuses to provide details about common account scams, a policy I strongly disagree with. I feel that the potential victims of account scammers need knowledge of how they operate and what tricks they use. Only by understanding the risks and taking steps to protect your account can you avoid falling prey to these scam artists.

In this section I will tell you all about RuneScape password and account scamming, and help you understand “hacking” much better and how to avoid it. I will tell you what Jagex's official rules and policies are on the subject, and give you an overview of how “hackers” and password scammers operate and what to do if they get you. Then I will describe in detail some of the nasty ploys that account scammers use to try to get your password and other information, both within the game and outside it. I conclude with some essential tips for improving account security, to help you avoid falling victim to scammers.
