Him logging out after I called him out:
Good way to ring in the new year? :)

To be honest, they really do ruin the game, much more than us botting.

WTF is that shitty link he sent u.. that's a picture :S Are u supposed to go to that link like a noob? or what? Clearly has .com.jagex… wtf?

Haha! It was in an email he sent me, instead of IM'ing it, which I thought was funny. I took a picture so that way it wasn't linkable here. Apparently you're suppose to go crazy that he's giving you 400M and click on any link. Then "sign in" lol.

Only one I've seen with "secure" in the URL.

It's because it's profitable, big time. I just realized how stupid kids really are from that sythe business thread with the auto-clicker.

I don't know for who should I feel more sorry, tho.
The scammed kids lose their pixels, but the scammer never did or never will have a spine. How do you live like that? o.O
