I dont know if this is a new scam but it is for me.

Luckily i didnt fall for it but heres what happens

Person: *He trades me and puts in full rune twice and 2 drag longs* 'Have you got a potato cactus?'

Me: 'No, why?'

Person: 'Because i give all this for it' *ie what he just offered*

Me: 'Ill look out for one for you'

Other Person (Persons friend): 'Bank sale' *He offers me in a trade with some dragon weapons and a potato cactus*

Me: 'How much do you want for the cactus?'

Other Person (Persons friend): '200k or full rune'

But then it clicked, he is gonna scam me into buying a potato cactus for 200k.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

It's the whole 2 people scam list.

More commonly used with beads for the Imp Hunter quest.

oooo this is a clever scam. It was around back in rs1 in varrock. One of the most clever scams I think i've ever seen. Watch out everyone. Always remember, if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.

That'd be funny if you really had a potato catus...what do you think the scammer would do? :lol: :roll:

Yeah this is a fairly old scam, don't fall for it. It's less obvious, especially to new players. Why do people scam you for pixels? :roll:
