it doesn't matter if you have reported them lol, either way it's against jagex rules. to buy the pin for membership is against the rules anyway! this is how it works (i have payed for membership by phone before) you call the number, you listen for 3 minutes (£1.50 per min) and at the end you are given a PIN you put the pin in, and your membership is payed for. but you have to put in you account name and password, plus the phone number of which you are calling from before they will give you the number that needs to be called. this is so that you can't just sell the pin in game, as if someone else tries to use it on a different account, it wont work.

i believe that you get one when paying by phone. after you have called the runescape number they will give you a number that you need to enter so that you get your membership.

i did a membership payment by sms and after you send the text message you get a pin, but they didnt send me mine for ages then when it did finally come through they sent two and charged for two so i just gave one to my friend.

a runescape membership pin is a number you get when you you are going to become a member in runescape. you get the runescape member pin when you give the runescape membership people real money and in return they give you a membership pin which you can enter to become a member on runescape. now you can pay your friend and your frend will pay the jagex membership staff and then they will give him a membership pin and then he will give you the membership pin
