The Varrock Cage Scam, which is more formally a lure, can be distressful to players because it usually involves getting backstabbed by a friend. The lure takes place in the cages west of the Eastern Varrock Bank. It involves dropping items. This scam works because a player will often trust that his friend is helping him out, and does not suspect that he is working with the lurer. For this reason, the scams' success rates are higher than they really should be.
