How to Avoid OSRS Marketplace Scams
Fake middlemen, too-good rates, pressure tactics, and impersonators — red flags every buyer should know before sending money.
Most scams are not sophisticated — they rely on urgency and fake credibility. Slow down and run through this list whenever a deal feels rushed.
Common red flags
- Rates far below every major marketplace with no explanation
- Payment only via irreversible methods with no order ticket
- “Middleman” you have never heard of, added by the seller
- Discord DMs from accounts mimicking official staff names
What legitimate sellers do
They give you an order number, deliver through official site chat or Discord ticket, and never ask you to trust a random third party. Compare vouches and use the same marketplace repeatedly.
