Low level courses like gnome-Varrock. I didn't bot for more than an hour at a time because that's about as long as I would do agility normally. Maybe low leveled accounts are more likely to get noticed doing something like agility.

In the past week I've had a couple of bans, one of them permanent, using this script. The perm was a twitch prime acc, so not surprising. Running this script, even with reasonable breaks doesn't seem very safe right now.

Ignoring the ALL CAPS, this is the best advice I've read in this thread (apart from don't buy, make your own lol). In my experience, if you actually chat with the person you're buying from, you can get a sense of their personality and see if they're more or less likely to scam you. I won't say that scammers are all one way and that trustworthy traders are another, just use your discretion and err on the side of caution. If someone gives off sketchy vibes, just ditch the deal right there. If you don't get along with the person you're buying from, ditch the deal. Just don't be afraid to ditch the deal if something feels off. As we know, accounts are always recoverable, so the best thing you can do is evaluate how much you trust your seller. If this means you end up not buying an account, don't feel bad, just see it for what it is... not wasting your money.

Not saying this is why, but using multiple bans as proof they don't watch your home IP doesn't really make sense.
