The broken axe scam was a rare scam in RuneScape in which the scammer received a decent sum of coins by tricking a victim into buying a much less valuable broken axe.

The player would then trade the scammer and then visit Bob's Axes in Lumbridge to get it fixed. After Bob fixed the axe, the player would then notice that the axe probably wasn't rune. This scam became obsolete on 25 February 2009 with the removal of the 'Ent' random event.
