The Item lending scam is often inter-twined with the Friend Scam. The scammer will often start off slow, maybe asking for items as common as a bronze dagger, and work up to asking for an item such as an abyssal whip or godsword. When the scammer finally gets that rare item, they will claim it as their own. This makes it so the scammer will keep the item and never give it back. Players should report the scammer for item scamming under Honour. This scam is used often as the player will build up a level of trust, and probably won't even report the player, they are however scammed.
