Dating Scam

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

The Dating Scam is one of the more common scams which involves luring. It is found usually in non-members worlds. It starts out with a high level player(the scammer) standing in a populated area (usually Lumbridge) with no armor, also saying looking for boyfriend/girlfriend! The victim agrees too be he/she's bf/gf thinking it may be fun. the scammer will then lure the player into the wilderness (i know a place where we can be alone or i know where we can find treasure being the most common) and kills him/her, taking whatever items they may have had. The victim then reports the PKer for breaching Rule 2. NOTE: this works both ways, more often than none the person looking for a date is a low level using RuneScape intead of a dating website.
