Player versus Player

In places where PvP is available, Like clan wars for example

Scammer: Can you come with me?

Player: Yea sure.

You guessed it, He kills the player and steals his items

Jagex staff Impersonation

For this example The scammer will be called JagexMod890, this is a common name for scammers. Remember Jagex mods talk with a gold star in front of everything they say, and they will never ever ask you for your password. If they wanted it they just have to look on their servers.

JagexMod890: We need your password for verification of this account

JagexMod890: Email it to us at *****@*****.***                             NOTE: EMAIL WILL NOT BE ****@Jagex.co.uk

Player: Sure, I’m e-mailing it to you now

Again your items will be stolen
