| rdfs:comment | - Jojo3000 was permanently banned from Runescape in 2007. Contrary to popular belief, he was banned for Real World Trading, not the luring itself. In a statement he made on the Runescape fansite Zybez, Jojo3000 made approximately $1200 dollars in real life from selling around 1 billion Runescape gold. He claims to have had an additional 4 billion gold spread across other "mule" accounts, but they were also permanently banned (In connection to his main account) before any gold could be sold.Jojo3000 has since expressed regret in the luring he took part in. On Zybez, he told the Runescape community:
- Jojo3000 was a very infamous lurer. He was the original creator of a very notorious lure that gained him millions. The trick involved leaving a pile of cash (usually 10k, but sometimes it was more) a few steps into the Wilderness near the Jolly Boar Inn in Varrock. He then distracted a player in Varrock to follow him up to the inn. He would show the player millions of gold. He would then proceed to drop this money and alch a rune med helmet (10k) then would drop the 10k and pickup his million stack. The player would run in to the wilderness expecting it to be loads of money. He would then be frozen and killed by Jojo's partners.

On Zybez, he told the Runescape community: "I am sad to admit that, and if i could take it back i would. Also, i feel really bad about the people i lured. I caused A L O T of people to feel really terrible."On October 2012, Jojo3000's name was immortalized in Runescape history when the famous Runescape Youtuber Will Miss It uploaded a video titled "World 901 | Runescape short movie." In the movie, an actor plays Jojo3000 in a fictional setting where banned players must fight each other to return to the game. Jojo3000's fictional character was one of the last three survivors in the film. On October 15, 2015, Runescape Youtuber Mote Plox uploaded a video titled "Top 10 Banned Runescape Players." While Jojo3000 did not make an appearance in the video, Mote Plox later said in a comment that he wished he had replaced the #7 spot with Jojo3000.
- Jojo3000 was a very infamous lurer. He was the original creator of a very notorious lure that gained him millions. The trick involved leaving a pile of cash (usually 10k, but sometimes it was more) a few steps into the Wilderness near the Jolly Boar Inn in Varrock.

The player would run in to the wilderness expecting it to be loads of money. He would then be frozen and killed by Jojo's partners. Later on Jojo3000 (also known as Evan) admitted on the zybez forum that he had been permanently banned for selling RuneScape gold for real money. This trick originally occurred in the Wilderness prior to the December 10, 2007 update that removed player killing from the Wilderness. On Feb 1, 2011, however, PKing in the Wilderness was reintroduced, and the lure suddenly began resurfacing. Before the month of March, a luring clan owned by the player 'uzott' existed, and the clan name was 'Jojo3000'. This neo-Jojo clan used this lure and the clan's owners had billions of in-game gold. It is also rumoured that Jojo himself has created new accounts, one with which to perform the lure, and another one which he uses to store the items he loots, such as spirit shields, ancient armour, and even discontinued items, although this is unconfirmed. The clan's people tried every lure that was possible at the time, such as high alchemy value tricks with dragon battleaxes and regen bracelets, but Jagex responded on 19 April 2011 by changing the Items Kept on Death system so that retained items are determined by their Grand Exchange value instead of their alchemy value. What happened to the clan's owners is still unknown, but it is likely that they stopped their luring tactics due to the updates which made them obsolete.
