The Drop Party Scam, now obsolete due to the Wilderness update, was one of the more virtually violent scams. A player would go around Varrock saying "Drop party" so many users would follow him/her. The scammer would then claim to go to the Jolly Boar Inn, an inn located 15 feet from the Wilderness. After dropping some items, often things like Steel Longswords which are not at all rare, they dropper would say "Dropping good things in Wildy!" and then go into the Wilderness. Sometimes, items like Rune Platelegs, or Mithril Platebodies would appear, so a user would quickly run into the Wilderness, hoping to get the item, and try to return. But either the scammer or one of his/her friends would attack the victim, generally with Ancient Magicks to deal heavy damage and freeze him/her in place.

Victims who were unlucky enough to get killed dropped their armour and items. The location generally varied from the Jolly Boar Inn to the teleport lever in East Ardougne. The best way to avoid this scam was to avoid attending drop parties that involved the dropper dropping their items around these locations.
