If you have read this blog from the start you will probably remember a post I wrote highlighting the fact that people will go to any length to to steal your account, If not please click here, I wrote the title to grab peoples attention hoping that after reading it people would have learnt, I think I may have used language above the comprehendable level of the average Runescape loser, the post attracted people trying to hack other players accounts and people who want quick stats without doing any work.
An example of the type of readers are included in the comments, it would appear they read the title but ignored the content, for an example I will list some content of the type I received, I have disabled the comments on that post because it was huge (Many Hundreds) all saying similar things, please not I have used reasonable spelling and grammar, most comments use poor spelling and grammar.
For the sake of the half witted Runescape scammer/hacker/whatever there is NO FREE ACCOUNT.
Runescape loser who thinks I can give them a free account type comments, my comment will follow the quote
1/ I am only level 3 I cant get good stats people keep calling me a noob when I die in the wildy or killing monsters.
-
If I was to give a free account (and im not) why would I give it to a player who hasn't even killed a few rats to get level 4 after leaving Tut Island.
2/ I got hacked and lost 5m and full dragon please can I have the account.
-
Why would I give an account (I am not) to a player who doesn't have the basic security sense to prevent having their account hacked, if I gave you the account (I am not) what's to stop you having that account hacked.
3/ I will be your girlfriend if you give me the account and sends you photographs.
-
This type of comment I found disturbing, I guess it is a kid be it female or not trying to pretend they can give sexual favours for an account, I take it they would just steal the account (If I was to give it and im not) and not deliver the promises, I personally hope that was the case, the fact that children would be prepared to put themselves in great danger for an account is very worrying.
4/ I will give you 2m gp if you give the the account.
-
what's the point in having GP if im giving the account away (I'm not).
5/ I am an ex Jagex staff (or my brother is) If you want free levels, gold or items send your password and user name, to Madeupemailaddresswithjagexin@hotmail.com this is not a scam just trying to help fellow players.
-
There are many options for this type of scam, some pretend to be ex Jagex staff unhappy with the way Jagex treated them before being sacked, some pretend its a mods way to increase levels, some say its a password reset site, all email addresses have Jagex or Runescape in it somewhere but usually end in hotmail.com, live.com or gmail or any other free account email address.
Conclusion
I never know if the people doing this or after the account are kids who want to have a lot of power on Runescape without working for it, companies who want to sell the account or players who want to be able to scam others, I guess the first option is the main but I am sure there is a few of each.
The worrying thing is that the page of the account give away is the most popular from the entire site with many more comments than all the other posts put together, about 80% of search terms are for free accounts, there is a big demand for high level accounts so there is still an incentive to have accounts stolen, remember to take precautions with your account follow the Runescape security guide.
Please note there is no FREE Runescape account, I know you will still leave messages asking for the account but there is no free Runescape account.
Sorry did I mention there is no free account.

Trying to bypass the fun of gaining levels for a high level account, if they don't want to play a game that revolves around gaining levels what's the point in playing.
