#1 - Bounty Hunter Trades
Section I - The PM.
http://i37.tinypic.com/dha04g.jpg
This is one of the most common mistakes, taking a picture of any pms which are sent during the trade.
Things that should be present: The overall deal, any terms and agreements (if not listed in the trade thread) Runescape usernames (These will be compared to the in-game PM Screenshots!) and any additional information that could be useful.
Section II - In-Game PM Screenshots confirming identities
http://i34.tinypic.com/28l9x3.jpg
As you can see, Iceburn_101 is Iceburn@JSP (This can be compared to the PM), And Chunky506 is The_Carlton@JSP (Like Iceburns', this can be compared to the PM on Jsp.)
Things that should be present in the RS PM: Both JSP users confirming their RS Usernames.
Section III - The Trade Window.
http://i38.tinypic.com/2pt8f7q.jpg
As you can see, the trader is placing his item/s that he plans to transfer in the trade window, allowing a price check to be visible, as well as the items.
Things that should be present: The correct value of rsg of which you are trading, shown at the bottom of the trade window, and the items.
Section IV - The Death screenshot.
http://i36.tinypic.com/2h51u9f.jpg
Things that should be present: The Seller (The JSP User receiving the Forum Gold being killed by the Buyer (The one sending the Forum Gold.) To do this, hover your mouse over the character, so it is shown in the top left hand corner.
Though he is not bent over in the death-emote, you can see he has 0 Health. This is sufficient
Note: Please remember, the seller is responsible for their items until he/she is killed by the buyer.

#2 - Level and Quest Jobs
Section I - The PM.
http://i40.tinypic.com/14o5c0m.jpg
This is one of the most common mistakes, taking a picture of any pms which are sent during the trade.
Things that should be present: The overall deal, the thread in which the deal was originally made, any terms and agreements (if not listed in the trade thread) and any additional information that could be useful.
Section II p1) - The Before-Trade screenshot - Skill Level Jobs
http://i44.tinypic.com/fdt6op.jpg
As you can see, the level of the skill is visible, along with the experience. Not only this, but the overall level is also showing. It is important to have your account name visible in this screenshot. If you wish to have it edited out in your scammer-accusation thread, please make sure you have back up unedited screenshots to pm the enquiring mod.
Things that should be present in the Screenshot: the Skill Level, the Skills Experience, Overall level and your account name
Section II p2) - The Before-Trade screenshot - Quest Jobs
http://i44.tinypic.com/70dtt3.jpg
The main idea of this screenshot is to have the quests that aren't completed, showing in red or gold (Depending if it has been already started by yourself or another user). Furthemore, have the total Quest Points showing, and your account name. If you wish to have it edited out in your scammer-accusation thread, please make sure you have back up unedited screenshots to pm the enquiring mod.
Things that should be present in the Screenshot: The quests which you are having completed, the total quest points and your account name,
Section III - Your Items - Bank & Equipment
http://i42.tinypic.com/2j661pl.jpg
http://i41.tinypic.com/2yvtbbs.jpg
As you can see, I have only taken a single screenshot of my bank, but it is urged that you take a screenshot of each tab/new row your bank has. That way, you have every single item visible on a screenshot (It doesn't matter if you feel you have too many screenshots, as the more evidence, the better). With the equipment, make sure you screenshot any items that will be provided during the quest job, as well as the bank if you choose to give access. Make sure not to forget to have your account name showing.
Things that should be present in the Screenshot: Your entire bank, inventory, equipment, and your account name visible in all screenshots.
Section III - The Bank Pin
http://i44.tinypic.com/9hju2o.jpg
This is one of the easier things to screenshot. All you have to do is "talk to" a banker, then select "I'd like to check my PIN settings". Be sure to have your account name showing
Things that should be present in the Screenshot: PIN settings, and your account name.
After having sure that you have collected all of this evidence, you may then conduct the trade.
On completion, you should screenshot another series of pictures, including the required ones of all sections which suit your trade. (If no new pms have been recieved/sent, then taking another screenshot of a pm (Section I) is not necessary)

Account trading/Members pin TradingWe do not allow account trading, buying, or selling. It is very hard to prove that a user stole your account if you tried to sell it to them. The user can recover the account and there is no way to prove that they did. The person buying the account can get on the account and steal the items and say that they werent able to ever get on and there is no way to prove that they did. Please just dont trade your accounts here.
We do not allow the trading, buying or selling of members pins. It is even more impossible to prove, actually its impossible to prove wether a pin worked or not.
Note : There are several different trading methods available to you at this time, as these methods become more common I will post here what we need from you should you get scammed. This post was edited by Camryona on Feb 6 2009 12:13am
