RuneScape/Scammers

Scammers
Scammers are people who'll try to trick you out of your items.

Quick switch
With the quick switch method, they will quickly switch in an item that appears to be like the one you wanted. This can often be done with coins being switched from something such as 200K to just 200.

Armor Trimming
The armor trimming scam is an old one, but people still fall for it every once in a while. The scammer will say something along the lines of "Free armor trimming" and wait for someone to trade them their armor then log off. You can simply report anybody who says this.

Alt F4
This scam involves someone saying to drop your items by saying that if you drop your items and press Alt+F4 it will double them or do something of the like. The only thing this will do is drop your items and close your active window, usually runescape. By the time you log back in, you'll have lost the items and the scammer will have picked them up.

Trust game
This scam starts off by saying who wants a very rare item.(ex. Rune platebody) then they'll tell you to do three things. the first and second are easy to do(like dance)then at the last thing they'll ask you to give them your best stuff and you will trust them to give it back. The person who gives the best stuff gets the prize. This is most likely a hoax to scam you. They some times they do give your stuff back and gain your trust so you can keep on giving him stuff until he scams you.

Hackers
In runescape, people refer to password thieves as hackers. Although there are a few people who literally hack your computer through a trojan with a keylogger, that usually never happens

Password block
In this case, somebody will say something like "Jagex blocks your password see ******** try it!". The censor in fact doesn't censor your password even though it only makes sense for it to.

Under-cover Mod
Here, somebody with a normal account will tell you that you need to give them your passwords or else you'll get banned. This is fairly obvious that it's a hoax, so go ahead and report them. Some people have variations of it saying that they can make you a member if you give them your passwords also, which is once again a hoax.
 * NEVER use your password on any website except the runescape login page. Don't use it anywhere else, not even on another website account.

Autoers
Autoers are people who'll keep their characters online with help of a computer macro program. These programs are almost always written by the player him/herself since most online ones are really keyloggers and trojans. If you plan on doing it, never download one from the internet. EXAMPLE: Macro: *Starts chopping* Tree Spirit: Leave these woods and never return! Macro: *Keeps chopping and dies* Real_player: *Reports Macro*
 * Autoers usually have default clothing and odd names. They are also usually level 3.
 * Not everyone thats level 3 is an autoer. Sometimes you may find a level 3 skill pure.
 * Autoers follow a very specific path. Unless they have an anti-random exploit in them, they'll be killed when they receive a random.
