Do u think it is possible to get banned by scam if I get a lots of reports?

it's possible, but i never hear about people getting banned for scamming anymore, jagex concentrates more on botting

Seeing that you are posting in 'SRL Public Forum' ;), yes even a single report (with sufficient evidence) will get you perm banned from villavu. Scamming is really low..on villavu or otherwise.

im not talking about villavu. Im talking about runescape. getting banned in runescape for scaming

Don't be disgusting.
Earn your money either by botting or skilling.
Don't con other people out of their hard earned money for trusting another human being.

Im not going to scam. It is because I report a lot of scammers and it seems nothing happens to them. I was wondering if Jagex actually do something

The worst they can possibly get is a temp ban tbh.

You have my utmost respect. :norris:

Yes, they do get banned, but like eska said, I have never seen a perm for scamming.

i've been given a mute for scamming

Lol, the guy is a scammer, and only said that he reported other for scamming because of the comments. If he would have been asking that from the start, he would have asked if he could get other people banned for scamming.

Don't come around Villavu if you're going to scam, we're not like that around here.

You'll get perma-banned and Liam Neeson will look for you, find you, and kill you.

If you scam the you might get muted for a while.

hahaha.

+1.

Edit- Damn, can't rep you again yet.

Yes, you can get banned for luring and scamming…

Luring and scamming is the most awful thing you can do in Runescape, and I wish Jagex was much more strict about banning for it.

shstiger is definitely right. You already gave yourself away.

Oh man, I lost my shit on that one. Well done.
Have some +rep.

Back 5-6 years ago jagax would ban legit scammers.
Like the little bone noted looking like big bone scam.

Few people got banned for that one.

It kinda depends what scam you are talking about..

The thing i would do is whisper them and pretend to fall for the scam and make them type lots of things to make sure jagax see's they are up to no good..
Then report.
I keep people i report on friends list, some of them seemed to vanish.

I had scammed quite a lot (luring) and never ever got banned, except for sharing the loots (RWT).

Ah, how much did you make from that P1nky?

That's because it's the persons fault for believing you/being lured :p
I had it done to me and 2 times, never again lol.
1 was in the wildy when I first ever got full rune. I didn't know that you could not tele past lev 20 in wildy at the time (proper noob like) lol and 2 guys took me to lev 50 and attacked lmao.
The other time was on karamja where some guy asked me to help him on a quest I said ok and he took me to the Tribes men and said attack them while I use to cauldron. I didn't know they poison you lol with high damage to. I panicked tried to run but died because I didn't have any food at the time.
My own fault, I learn't not to help/trust people any more haha.

I never personnally thought u wouldn't get anything other than a mute. but here's a story of a friend.

runescape wiki's explanition of the scam :

A scammer would approach a victim who owns a valuable item, such as Bandos tassets. The scammer would offer to give the victim his own Bandos tassets if the victim lent the scammer his tassets until logout. The scammer would accept on the first screen, but decline on the second, hoping that the victim would not notice the "Other player declined trade." message. If fooled, the victim would believe that he now owned the scammer's tassets, and that his tassets were lent to the scammer. The scammer would then request that the victim trade return "his" tassets to him in trade – in fact, the victim would be giving his own tassets to the scammer, and the scammer would run off with both tassets.
In response to this scam, on 4 January 2012, Jagex made the "Other player declined trade!" message easier to read in the chat box.

Some scammers have continued to use this scam even after the update, by requiring that the victim join his friends chat and set the chat interface to friends chat only. This filters out all game messages, including the "Other player declined trade!" message.

He would do this with god armour in ftp worlds. He had a green mask and would say giving away green mask. loads iof ppl trade him and he tells the ones in god armour that they can have it if he can trust them. He made an amazing 15m an hour! he was highly effective and i even saw a lv 110 giveaway a set of sara, guthix and zammy

ot: he got rolled back without warning he never even got muted first for his scam. his 105 lv acc got rolled back to 3 and only thing he was allowed to keep was his red mask

You are not gravedigging since it's not years old. But I like the way you tried to avoid a gravedig while others aren't concerned about this and just post cause they can.

Yes you can be permanent banned fairly easy my IRL friend got 12 years bann on his account for this for item scamming.
