Borrowing Item Scam

From the Dark RuneScape Wiki - follow the rules, or else!

The Borrowing Item Scam is often inter-twined with the Friend Scam. The scammer will often start off slow, maybe asking for a bronze dagger, and work up to asking for as much as a rare item. When the scammer gets that rare item, they will not give it back. This makes it so the scammer will keep the item and never give it back. This can be reportable under Rule 2.

Example:

Scammer: Dud can i hav a bronze dagger?

Victim: Sure.

• When they are good "friends"*

Scammer: Can i have a D scimi?

Victim: I only have one but you can have it.

[edit] New Variant

The Item Lending feature was introduced on July 14, 2008. With it came a new type of borrowing scam. The scammer would offer to loan his or her item in exchange for cash. In the trade window, the scammer would lend their item with the option "Until Logout", and the victim would offer the cash. After the trade was completed, the scammer would immediately log out and regain the loaned item.
