PIN Scam

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

The PIN Scam is a rarely-used scam in which the scammer tricks other players into telling the scammer their PIN by telling them that their PIN will be blocked by the chat filter. This scam is against Rule 3, and JaGeX will give bans to scammers reported for using this scam. This is very similar to the Password Scam. It also is very dangerous as once another person knows your PIN, they have access to your bank if they also know your password.

NOTE: The scammer must also know your password for this scam to be effective. As long as you keep your password safe the scammer gains nothing. Either way giving away your PIN is not recommended.

[edit] Example

Scammer: Jagex blocks your pin! Look - ****!
Victim: Cool! 1234!
Victim: Noo! You scammer!
Scammer: Haha noob thanks for telling me your pin.
The Victim reports the Scammer under Rule 3 for stealing another players PIN.

The PIN is not blocked by the chat filter.
