Do not fall for this scam.
So one day I was going to Lumbridge to put my money in the bank and when i got to the top a guy was saying to go to this guys channel and watch his video on how to get 900k per hour on Rs 07:

In the description it says go to the forums of Runescape to find the money making method and so went there and it asked for my password it looks completely legit apart from when you right click and it says 'Phishers.org'.
THE FOLLOWING LINK IS THE SCAM LINK AND IT LOOKS VERY LEGIT, DO NOT TYPE IN YOUR PASSWORD: (Link Removed)
To prove this, you can type anything into the loging and password and it will accept it and take you to a page saying that the forum page has been removed, making you think that nothing bad has happened.
I fell for it and the next day I couldn't sign into my account for like 5 hours and when I did get on, completely everything was gone,my 750k and he even took my junk.
He left like 3 diamonds and 5 rubys left and about 20 mystery boxes just to piss me off because you had to solve ALL of them to get the prize.
When I finally solved all the boxes, I luckily got a loop half key which is worth 20k so I just did my money making method and now I'm back up to 700k Smile

Nah, but this is based for the 07 servers because they don't have JAG on them at the moment.
And the url said "oldschool-runescape" etc

for PC users you could always hold your mouse over the link or button and in the bottom left hand corner it should tell you the real website that it is going to send you to. Always be cautious to these scams. I fell for them when I was about 12 years old and I hated it. Even though back then I only lost petty cash.

I know, its just that it was the morning and I wasn't thinking lol + I also thought that the JAG would stop it, but for some silly reason they didn't put it into the 07 servers.

Old trick.

There are plenty of people advertising YT channels on GE. Most of the time it's 1b or 10b giveaway to attract people.

If it's too good to be true then it probably isn't.

0:55 dead giveaway for me, no legit reason to have it private. not only that but if i had to put my user and pass into another site that'd just confirm it. they may be getting smarter but still have an extremely long way to go.
