Verify the Seller’s Live Chat Before Trading In-Game
Scammers often impersonate customer service agents or OSRS gold delivery bots in-game. They’ll say something like:
“I’m from Customer Support, here to deliver your gold.”
But they have no connection to the real website.
How to verify authenticity:
Initiate the conversation via the website’s official chat.
Ask the agent for the RSN of the delivery trader.
Make sure it matches exactly before accepting a trade.
A real website will always confirm the exact character name.
Avoid Unrealistic Pricing and “Super Sales”
If a seller’s prices are significantly lower than major websites, it’s almost always a scam.
Example:
If most websites sell at $0.45–$0.60 per million, and a site sells at $0.20?
If most websites sell at $0.45–$0.60 per million, and a site sells at $0.20?
It’s a trap.
General rule:
If the price seems too low to be real, it isn’t real.
