Website age and reputation

Avoid sites created recently, especially those with OSRS gold no public history or community presence.

Be Aware of Fake Website Clones and Phishing Pages

A common scam involves scammers copying the layout of a real gold-selling website, then changing:

The URL (example: using .shop or .net instead of .com)

The payment processor

The live chat system

These clones are almost identical to the real site.

How to avoid fake clones:

Always double-check the URL letter by letter.

Bookmark the website once confirmed.

Never click gold-selling links shared by strangers on Discord.

Use browser tools that highlight verified SSL certificates.

If the URL looks even slightly suspicious, leave immediately.

Never Buy OSRS Gold Inside the Grand Exchange

Another extremely common scam is someone offering to sell gold directly in-game for a cheaper price. These sellers often operate via:

GE trades

World 302 trading areas

Random PMs

Scam signs include:

Too-good-to-be-true prices

Sudden price changes mid-trade

Requests for multiple “incremental” trades

Asking for login details

Do not trade gold in-game unless you're following instructions from cheap RS gold a verified seller’s official website chat.

Random in-game gold sellers are almost always scams or account thieves.
