10 Reasons why you should never scam anyone.
by r1ky/Realpoor Trading Tutorials
I have devised a list of reasons why not to scam anyone. Care to see?
1. Its illegal.
Scamming someone out of anything is against the law. It can land you with a criminal record pretty soon, in a lawsuit you can not win, regardless of it being a virtual item or not.
2. You will find it hard to get a job.
If you scam and get caught by the law, the most likely thing to happen is that you won't get a good job seeing as they will flee at the sight of your criminal rec.
3. You can get your internet disconnected perm.
If this happens, have fun telling your parents why the internet won't work. Grounded for life maybe? :)
4. You will end up hated.
If you are a scammer and enjoy your bright, tiny pixels instead of your friends, then prepare for a beating. It is kind of sad to scam your best friend out of a RS2 account just because it is level 138 etc. Its lame. Its just pixels, its not real unlike your friends.
5. You can end up in jail.
As in no. 1, its ILLEGAL. And spending time in jail can be your punishment, its not always a fine/community service etc.
6. Its much easier and safer to work harder.
Instead of scamming, you just don't break any laws and rules and play safe. No criminal records then.
7. You will ALWAYS get caught.
Internet scammers are always stupidly giving away their information so they can be caught. They are always flawed. Its called an IP.
8. Everyone is aware of scammers.
Because people are getting worse and worse at scamming, they may as well be holding up a sign saying "TRADE ME I WILL SCAM YOU". It is getting pretty obvious to me who is a scammer and who isn't. Just today I found a runescape hack thread which had a ton of flaws in it... its kind of obvious its fake, seeing as other people try exactly the same thing.
9. You will be banned from everything and everywhere.
Pretty obvious isn't it? Scam at realpoor and prepare for your account and IP range to get a perm ban. We want sites to be as idiot-proof as possible.
10. Whats the point?
Think of it. Scam and get a criminal record? Go to jail? Get fined? Get banned from everywhere? Get turned into a hated loner? Its pointless.

If you are thinking of scamming someone after reading this, would you like to try me?
I think not. play safe all.
