Runescape luring has a long history. Hopefully, that history ends in the next few months. This group of lurers decided to expose their methods and move on.

Ezreal is getting kicked off the lure team for not knowing SirPugger that's for sure.
He's not, hes the main guy.

PSA: Don't do what pugger did to make 11m. You'll likely get scammed.
Don't be smart... sounds counter-productive.
@@motodog242 He means that the lurers will likely use this video as a way to make you feel smart to lure you during the 11m grab
^This. These guys can get real crafty, and all it takes is one second of not thinking clearly to get fucked. It's not worth trying to get anything from them.
@@ThaFrenchFry exactly. They already do that releasing make-believe antiscamm videos of their own.
The trick is that they love it when you think you know the lure.
Runescape is a good place to understand human behaviour, i've deduced that most scammers in game would also scam in real life if they could get away with it with no repurcussions.
No not really RuneScape is just a game
@@altoids79762 You have to be a psychopath to not see people's gear as a valuation of their effort put into the game. Imagine grinding day and night for an item, and still being able to tell yourself that it's fine to basically steal it from them.
@@spacialist8198 Yes, luring is a bannable offense (it has to be a huge case usually for it to be studied). It falls under the banner of a scam ("obtain GP and/or items from another player by dishonest means.") under Runescape's code of conduct.
For the argument's sake, assume that it's not bannable. It's not "ok" because it's morally reprehensible to deceive people and prey on their ignorance to transfer wealth from themselves to yourself, which they otherwise would have never agreed to. In other words, you're being dishonest about your intentions and willfully misleading someone in order to rob them of their possessions.
@@spacialist8198 The "non scummy" ways to PvP like this are cases where the "victim" does not want to fight but fully aware of the dangers, meaning they are conscious about the risk that they can die and agree to take on that risk.
A classic example is killing people at the Chaos Temple in the wilderness. It's the fastest and least expensive method to train Prayer in the game, however it's 40 levels into the Wilderness and the players bringing their costly bones with them are 100% conscious and agree to the risk of them being killed for it. The player basically agrees that he's increasing the efficiency of his training at the cost of risking to die to PvPers and losing his items.
In other words, the non-luring "scummy PvP" is just preying on people doing certain tasks in the Wilderness, where the risk of dying is the risk they agree on taking. High-risk, High-reward.
As for my original post, if scamming and luring in real life was that easy to get away with, people would do it mindlessly and way more, like they do it in game, and the empathy within humans on how much trouble and distress they're causing wouldn't be enough to stop them. Whether or not luring is legal in game isn't what i was actually gonna discuss, but thankfully someone already helped explain it.
Anyhow, if anyone has little experience with ppl irl, they'd learn a thing or two from these scammers and lurers.
If I don't upload ever again... I hope the community comes together and shows this video to the authorities. Leave like and keep those twisted bows safe!

The saddest part is they’re probably scamming using accounts they’ve bought from the players that quit due to the scams.. there’s something really dark about that
Zombies.
ahh the cycle of life
they steal accounts with all those bots spamming in all the worlds in the GE, droves of idiots fall for phishing scams from those bots and the cycle continues
i mean some of them maybe, but once u are like that highly ranked with thousands upon thousands of hrs spent in the game... some just get exhausted and kinda quit like myself. havent sold my acc or anything tho
Fearzzy I’ll buy it man
runescape , as a child , literally taught me about how to handle people in real life
Exactly, it taught us not to trust anyone in our lives.
@@jpesicka492 Sad,but,facts man.
How come? That community surely never was toxic, riiiight? 👀
I actually agree lmao, I remember being 10 and having a scammer “trim my armor” lmao, now I see a lot of the deeper scams and haven’t been scammed since I was 10 😂😂😂
RuneScape taught me to never trust anyone, not even your closest friends!
Yeah I remember back when "follow me there's this castle in the wilderness where you can trim armor"

I've always stood by "if it's too good to be true, it usually is" crazy to think people fall for this stuff but clearly they do..
@D Griffin I tend to stick with pretending to be someone's gf for easy gp
That’s because their are a lot of retards who play this game.
These lures are often made to be "good enough to be true" simply because your saying exists
@@SilentNightBodomNight "their are a lot of retards" Well that's ironic.
Kids and teens.
This exact same thing happened to me. A guy I talked to at the GE for about an hour gave me a ring of suffering because I told him it’s the only ring I don’t have. The next day he pms me telling me to login under him to grab an arcane someone was dropping near the fishing guild bank. With nothing on me, I do this and get an abyssal whip instead. About 20 minutes later the same guy tells me to meet him at the edgeville bank so we can get the arcane but I have to be the bait. “Coincidentally” there’s a guy there who trades me and shows me a few expensive items. I met him at the FG bank and he does exactly what you showed, gives me zammy brews. Then I showed him my tbow. He then gave me the pharaohs outfit with the scepter. That’s when I switched back to a safe world and blocked their asses. Got an ez 26m out of it though.
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. The whip given and everything, and with the guy helping me out and everything too... Really sad stuff to see :(
Was just hoping to meet a new homie out of the situation ya know. But walked away with some nice $$$
I made 75m in a week with people trying to lure me with the sceptre trick 🤭🤭
What makes me sad is that those amazing accounts are now bieng used as scam accounts.
Exactly. The system feeds itself
And Jagex allows it all because they keep getting paid. Disgusting.
Exactly what I thought. 2000+ hours of hard work wasted to scam people.
"Put on this outfit for video"
Sir pugger: *simply puts outfit on* 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahah
I remember losing a D hatchet and mud staff to a scam back in 05. I legit cried and was so sad for days. Now I only use Ironman accounts, I will never feel that pain again.
I’m sorry you had to feel such awful pain
I don't understand any of the terms you used, but you have my sympathy. You're smarter now, don't worry, it won't happen again my friend.
Make them suffer!
What ironman accounts?
I lost full justiciar with a rapier after a raids run chilling at ge. I was too trusting and gullible. I quit osrs for awhile but came back as an ironman and its so much more rewarding
The biggest thing to remember is: If you ever think you're getting one over on a lurer/scammer - chances are that's part of the scam. Even if you know the way a lure/scam works, often a lot of the new lures/scams are built on ways that people would anti-scam those.
Example: The duel arena arrow scam. Low level guy offers to stake you lots of money. Gives you a maple bow + rune arrows to fight him. Another guy trades you addy arrows and tells you that rune arrows won't work. You grab them and accept the duel. Scammer pulls out knives, and you realise you can't use your bow - the scam was disabling two handed weapons, and nothing to do with the arrow type.
I did manage to anti-scam someone doing that by bringing grey chins (I figured he'd be looking to see if I had knives/darts/obby rings etc, so I filled my inven with lots of weird random stackables, and hid grey chins in the middle since they're not super obvious) and since he was a low CB level it worked, but even that is something I'm sure a scammer could figure out a way of turning into a new scam.
"I should send this to SirPugger. Yeah, that's what I'll do. I'd love to see this footage."
The background music makes this video spooky
true, goosebumps on mai balls senpai :3 spookey
It’s the Draynor Manor song. Just reminds me of a walking chair
"Spooky" is literally the name of the background music.
EDIT: why am I getting a notification for someone pressing like on this comment, while, in fact, my comment currently has ZERO likes? Did someone press like and then remove it?
Damn.
"11 mil just from pretending to be STUPID" love it man, i love it 😂😂
Crazy, bc i was on a 500lvl+ server the other day, some dude just offered me a full rune set while I was in the mining guild.
he just gave it to me through trade with no catches. it was crazy weird when he said, "I just like helping people".
that's such an odd mentality to have in 2020RS.
this happened to me as well and we become friends, now, with a higher level, I also give sometimes stuff to random people I meat and talk.
I love that kind of person, I was trying to skill but obviously clueless and three people traded me a combined 5.2 mil to get me started, my entire account is a snowball off of those donations
I once got 53m for awnsering a trivia question and when i said thanks, everyone called me a scammer lol. The guy just gave me 53m
Hey, some people are like that. I give out money on RS3 all the time and some people get suspicious lol. Just like helping
Thanks for the shoutout on the music video Pug. More music coming real soon.
Why is this music video actually fire
sell out
anything for some views XD
07:10 bro really said "you good listener" who does he think hes talking to, a 6 year old with downs?
You gotta remember that they will try ANYTHING to make you believe them. If the chance of you trusting them goes up by them acting like they think you are smart, they will praise you to the skies and back. They will act like you are the king of the world if thats what it takes.
Luring kid prolly barely speaks English lmao
TuRnT FoReVeR meanwhile there’s some prod just sitting there with ZGS waiting to just jump you lol
That's literally part of the scam. The one saying that is the supposedly obvious, dumb scammer that Ezreal and actual scam target Pugger are trying to bait and loot items from. The intent is to make the scam target think that wow this scammer is an idiot, this will be easy to steal another free zgs from him.
People who fall for scams usually do have downs.
I love how its just a game and you're going out of your own way to spot these botters, lurers, people abusing the system, etc. Great work with all your content. Keep it up because its obvious Jagex needs a lot of help.
General rule people:
If it sounds too good to be true, *it is*
Facts
simpler rule:
if its good, its not real
Yup, If it looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk... it’s a skunk
Scams can have more depth than this. While if something is too good to be true, its definitely a scam, but I've been scammed on deals that were pretty 50/50.
If its too good to be true, it is, but just because it isn't doesn't mean its not a scam.
Spider Ebola valid point, me reference regarding skunks was more of a life reference.. but then again, RuneScape does actually teach real life skills and how person(s) interact with one another. Good response, brother!
2 shocking take aways from this video
1: People still fall for lures where "trust" is involved with a complete stranger
2: Jagex hasn't fixed any stalling items that allow lures. Its cant be harder than making raids..
For real. With all the issues in game yet they have time to do shit like change npc's face in dialogue lol
@@giggity6823 facts
You know I thought you'd have to be really stupid to fall for lures but tbh this looks really complicated.
I guarantee you people who have fallen to these lures have left the sort of pessimistic comments on youtube before about ppl being stupid, no offense tho.
@@ahmadalkhateeb1180 it may just be me but in my opinion it isn't particularly smart to trust a complete stranger on the internet. I get that its a game and you're trying to make friends and have fun but "trust" shouldn't ever be enough to trade someone you just met or have hardly known with something that not only has a sort of real life value but took potentially hundreds of hours to get. If youre above the age of 14 you are infact an idiot for falling for this kind of stuff. "Oh come to a pvp world with billions i wont lure you." Please..
"Easy real" lmfao.
I remember some guy walking up to me and just straight giving me 7 bonds. That is how I became a member for the first time
You should never have shown interacting with scammers as being in any way profitable, especially while describing it as "Pretending to be stupid". That 11m is all many players are going to take away from this. There are a decent number of people, mainly kids, who are just going to see this and say "Well I'm not stupid, I should be able to profit as well."
The only people who can really do this "anti-scam" is high level accounts with a lot of money. If you've been playing this game for a long time AND you watched this video, then if you're stupid enough to still get scammed then maybe go play fortnite.
Facts but luring is important to separate gold from those that don’t deserve it
Renegade Rat So if Im 10 years old and just got a new iphone and decide to play runescape and grind out 1m gp then get lured I don’t deserve my gp?
Stayed 10 year olds are not supposed to play the tos say you must be 13 & yes it will help them not get scammed irl if they learn the lesson on rs
You’re braindead if you believe anybody on this planet follows or reads any kinds of tos when it comes to playing video games for entertainment
I've had many people come up to randomly talk to me in the past, always knew it was fishy and told em to fk off. Now I know why

Not just the community has grown up, so have the scammers. You can see with just how sophistocated and clever some of these tricks are...
funny that this video pops up on my recommendation. Someone was really friendly with me and suddenly the lurer tried trading me this stuff and the friendly guy encourage me to try to anti-scam him. thankly it didn't work since I've always been skeptical about runescape players and just denied it. even asked if i watched SirPugger too.
man, whenever someone asks if i got any pet luck. imma fkin ignore them straight away. you aint getting my twisty boi
The joke went over your head mate
you sound a little angry, get some rest :)
@obbygift God damn you're pathetic
Ahhh man I love people and their problems. Stay lit yall
These scams are really drawn out and takes a lot of persistence to pull off. Back in the day it was just a case of being told to follow someone into the wildy for a free full rune g set
I don't play Runescape since around 2012 but am getting videos about the game recommended so much, huh.
It brings so much nostalgia.
Why do people hop to a pvp world with their bank? does common sense ever kick in?
The idea is you *think* you are going to get the jump on the scammer but the guy helping
You to cheat the scammer is in on the scam as well.
I was nearly baited when a rando on a pvp world i hopped into showed me his cash stack and then mocked me for being poor. I withdrew a bunch to show him I wasn't.
He did the stall for a trade to lure me but messed it up so I was safe. It's honestly brilliant. Being mocked like that def made me not think about what could happen, and ofc I didn't know about the stall glitch. From my perspective, it was just some a hole bragging about his bank.
To be honest sometimes I am playing on a pvp world for whatever reason, forget I am there, and then tele to edge with 100M+ because I am stupid...happens all the time I have just gotten lucky
@@pablojams5152 ye its such an old scam tho seen it everywhere. Even seen it with someone tryna skull trick me for nothin more than a whip, wtf?

omfg i actually cried
I guess you could say I was lured IRL
In a moment of naive weakness I fell for one of these. I was 12 at the time so I had little concept of how disgusting some people can be. I lost 100m in gear.
it would be hilarious to get a couple of buddies to the spot that their scamming at, then having the account theyre suppose to scam, chuck a tb one of the lurers wearing the most expensive shit, upon then having like 20accs (buddies) log in at the same time and completely bumrush them all from there.

Okay hear me out, Secretly SirPugger is in charge of the whole luring operation right?
He is attacking botters who make gold doing nothing and sell it, needs next to no user input in many cases so its free money for bot operators.
If he takes out the botters, gold prices go up, and he makes more money if my theory is correct.
Once the botters are out of the game the gold prices to go up as theres a supply/demand chain. He uses his position as head of the luring operation against our love for the SirPugger to release a video "exposing" lurers for people to attempt and anti-lure, only to have a bigger lure to trick every single one of the people attempting to anti-lure.
He already said how money money they've made; since OSRS release over 1 million USD sounds pretty good.
I'm onto you SirPugger ;)
@Sanberk Atalay aahahahahahahahahah
LMFAO spending money on worthless ass ingame "money"
Most people that “fall” for these lures don’t do it because they trust the lurer. They do it because they think they are smarter than the lurer.
Showing how you made 11m on this video is just gonna make more people try and anti-lure and get scammed
That's good, it'll be a good learning lesson for them
David Ortega ok lurer
Well if people are putting their Bank in inventory in pvp worlds, a square away from being able to lose it all, they're dumb. *Especially if they're aware of the lure.* So this video is fine. Spreads awareness and there's still natural selection.
@@otallono I almost got lured through a tele tab recently, was very tired and overly trusting. But now I feel bad for kids this happens to, OSRS is played in a chilled out state usually (for me)
they target rich people so 11m isn't gunna be that much incentive anyway
Borrowed my friends tbow for a day. Every 2 hrs i was getting people pming me about what boss i was doing, they were 126s were thousands of raids and bosses and pets.. the scammers are stepping up their game. And/or they managed to steal a lot of accounts.

@obbygift A'ight enjoy the harassment report to youtube mate.
People can comment whatever they want. I posted my recent experience. Could care less if you think it's cringe. You are probably jealous because you've never used a tbow.
@obbygift Triggered? Nah, you're the person writing an essay. Could care less, enjoy the block i don't have time for the likes of you.
@obbygift He also says "Could care less" which means he doesn't understand basic grammar and sentence structure.
I’m actually more proud of you for this than the bot busting videos. Luring has been so deep in the osrs community and lying on teamspeak, skype, curse and eventually discord has become so popular
How hard would it be to make it so you can only trade within 1 square, if not within reach display a "unable to trade, player out of reach" and no character movement/following occurs. And only perform the trade distance check on pvp/DMM worlds?
I love how all of those dislikes are probably from the sociopathic lurers themselves. Good work Pugger, as usual.
Nothing wrong with luring you neek
i was 12 years old and had full rune on and someone came up to me saying there was a cave in the wilderness whose monsters dropped all dragon armor and weapons. Needless to say i x logged and knew i died and i cried
8:00 you shouldn't trade in PVP world for the Sceptre, they could lure you out aswell and you can loose your bank.
I've had these types of dudes try this on myself and my buddies. They also try to offer ToB and Inferno coaching to befriend you lol. All max capers as well.
Yoco the ultimate virgins
There was a telegrab lure someone tried to get me with at Ferox once. They only had two people running it. I brought just enough runes for Entangle AND some hi alch. They had dropped a blowpipe and primo boots. I banked my shit and managed to ensnare the guy outside. He tried to burst but i grabbed both and alched them on the spot. I encourage everyone to do this. The worst you lose is some runes and the gp from the items. They lose millions.
Y’all look out for a dude named “Range Active” he does this shit with other scammers. Dude has like 200m range xp too. It’s sad really.
Wow he's still at it? He tried to lure me about 8 months ago. He hangs around GE in w302 still?
PSA: Scooty tried this lure on me. I was smart enough to avoid the scam but I did profit around 6m off him. Thanks for creating this video, it really helped me avoid the bigger scam at work.
Never played this game.
Another day lost on youtube ahah
Its a good game.
Just started playing yesterday, its loads of fun. you should try it
Thanks for your content mate. I quit runescape after I got lured. Thank you for serving justice.
Someone asked me to help them get to their slayer task the other day. He traded me an ice plateau telly tab d asked me to bral it on him. I banked the tab and told him I'd been playing runescape for 15 years, and to get lost.
It was the dumbest lure I've ever seen. Minimal effort.
hey bro shoutout to you for shouting out your friends music video. Seriously, as someone who makes music videos myself, getting serious promotion from a friend can mean a lot.
"I think this was his full time job."
LOL
EVE Online taught me a valuable lesson that makes me immune to this type of scam, and it can make you immune too.
If you aren't prepared to lose it, don't undock (or unbank in this case) it.
I felt that.
Showing off the items is the number one giveaway, then trying to get you to jump through hoops. When I started OSRS after being gone since 07'scape, someone in GE said "guess my fav pokemon" I guessed right an he gave me 2.5m. It was awesome, but it also was harmless, didn't require me to leave the GE, and didn't attempt to hype me up to gain blind trust.
People that do this are sick in the head. "Oh it's just pixels tho." No its time people have spent hours and hours of getting. I really wish I could meet this lures irl.
Oh it's just pixels that people have spent time on tho
I’ve had them try to lure me a few times. The first time, a maxed account added me and told me he wanted to teach me raids. Then he acted like he needed my help with this anti luring BS. I got a free DFS out of it and then he blamed me for not picking up the dragon hunter lance. Then he told me to help him find more lurers to anti-lure, and suddenly random lurers who would’ve never contacted me before began approaching me (obviously his squad), so I called him out as a lurer and put him on ignore.
7:37 damn, that's pretty brilliant i must say.
I didn’t know I needed to say this but if a random guy at the GE PM’s you to meet them somewhere and bring your entire bank don’t do it.
Massive respect for doing this, you got massive balls. Theirs a special place in hell for them. People get caught up in the to good to be true and you know what it is.
You have to be a certain kind of species, to be the one talking in the call to lure... I could never imagine myself stooping that low to do that. I would feel like shit...
Tells me ignore all anti scams.
"Anti Scams 11m"
No thanks Sir Plugger, I'll take my chances.
Isn't it more of an anti-anti-anti-scam in his case though?
"Follow me I'll show you where to find special armour", "whatever you give me I'll double it"
Anything that sounds too good to be true, almost always is.
Just last week a dude level 95 just like me was like "doubling 100m"
Lmao
i got lured for 150m and had a panic attack immediately and threw up. Didnt even report them, just logged off, threw up, and paced around the house for a good half hour
Why don’t you make a video where you have a group of friends in pking gear to pk the person waiting to kill you? He’s in the danger zone and if they’re in multi just have a team wipe him with like 10 dragon claw specs lol
9:18 is the sunk cost fallacy. Quitting runescape is always a good thing... Especially if you've already put thousands of hours in
Wish i saw this video before. Got lured for a scythe exactly like that.
"I'm quitting"
Ite cya next week
Runescape is not a game, it is a way of life, one cannot just "quit"
Imagine losing years of gear in a matter of seconds. There's a reason survival games don't last long. People lose their shit and then literally lose their shit irl lol.
I quit
Lost 5 years of gear max cash and everything because I got banned for botting when I was training rc legitimately to 99 and never got my account back so yeah its not a way of life its a game and I was done after that
@@ching574 I quit when eoc happened and didn't come back until I got peer pressured into making an osrs account like 4 years after it was out. My bank's only worth a little over 500m right now and I would absolutely quit if I lost it.
I lost only 100m and I had to rebuild it all, and I did, but now the game is stale because i did twice the work for half the reward. Haven't played in months
People who make bots to warn people about scammers:
*”Maybe I don’t want to be the bad guy anymore”*
The bots that show up and warn you about PVP banks are ironically owned by another Lurer to crush competition.
imagine believing in someone when they say they're quitting the game... yeah ok bud see ya on monday
I quit when eoc came out. I sold account but still like to watch interesting osrs video like this
*When you see your own username in the video preview*
haha, I'm in danger...
My RS boyfriend gave me a Saradomin trim rune skirt and i got lured within 1wk and lost it and had to tell him but he still forgave me. Wherever you are, bless your foolish heart Gordon!
You have to hand it to them, they’re really smart using bots for that stuff.
I got lured by the guys claiming there was a scammer in the dangerous clan war portal and he wanted me to help him anti-scam him. Long story short, they double teamed me and I lost about 40mil. This was way back in the day when os gold was worth $2 a mil.
They could actually make towns safe zones, setting perimeters where when you cross you're back in a pop zone. There's one game I played that had a mechanic where if you tried to pk in a town, the guards were set to level 999 with a 1 hit KO and would kill the PKer. But sure they'd find other places to do this, but by expanding safe zones and really putting in the work they can make things run more smoothly.
expanding safezones would just make the same problem happen somewhere else
When you make more money playing the game than making the game 😂
right? if I was Jagex I would just spawn in all the gold and sell it myself.
ahhhh so thats why they say "beware blah blah the sceptre lure"
Plot twist: this is all an elaborate scam/lure to get puggers subs to try and get free ZGS and Sceptres and Pugger is in on it to cash in with his luring clan😅
This is stealing, the audacity to con someone through discord voice chat, what a toxic community jagex has built.
Sometimes I feel like jagex leaves this stuff alone to leave room for their friends to make money, and only ban randoms who do it.
How to not be lured:
1. Stop being greedy as fuck.
You think I'm joking but this is the length people go through to lure other players. A kid was in love with this girl and he was rich af. They got together and got into a "relationship" in real life and she actually slept with this 14 year old while she was 17. Then he trusted her and she took over his account and stole everything. For years on end she continued to lure people and eventually even became a player moderator. So...shoutout to your Evil Kimmy.
I was about to watch this video a week ago. Fortunately I didn't need to, but it would've saved me a lot of grief. Literally had this exact process happen to me yesterday, the discord call and sceptre and everything.
This is exactly what happened to me a few months ago...
Scammers rely upon a target's greed, Ignorance, & fear.
I remember when ppl would trick 1 def pures into getting 2 def with the noose wand, happened to me. That was really sick cause they gained absolutely nothing but ruining somebody's day.
Couple years ago I got lured at the Shayzien Bank wearing full Bronze I got pushed out and by some miracle the dude splashed his barrage and I got to keep my 800mil.
I believe to this day if I didn't have 99 magic he wouldn't have splashed and I would have died, lol.
zuk was my friend for a while and got me with this shit lmfao
i never knew he was a lurer
I got duel arena scammed for full bandos. They used windup dolls. Shit really hit hard. They did the whole "look at this vid on youtube" and "we gonna antiscam" line.
You just saved my tbow, had something like this just happen to me and I remembered this video so thanks man :)
Sounds like running along with the lure and then bailing after getting the items is the power move here lol
I was one of those maxed lvl accounts that got lured and I quit. But I’m glad it happened. That game took to much of my time.
Shit lemme have them details ol boy
I got freaked out by this video and started worrying about getting scammed, then I remembered I don't have any money to scam.
