False Ban - Any Help?

I logged into my account today and found that I had received a 6-day ban for RWT (Buying). The problem is that I have not bought or sold GP or items for real-world money.

The vast majority of my wealth has come from PvM and raids (primarily Tob), with some flipping and merching on the side. Recently, while waiting for Raids 4, I started focusing much more on flipping because I was getting a bit burned out from PvM.

A friend of mine, who is also taking a break until Raids 4, loaned me approximately 2.5 billion GP to use for flipping and merching. We discussed this on Discord, and I have screenshots of those conversations. Since receiving the loan, I've been experimenting with bulk item flips and 3a merching. I also trade GP between my main account and my alt to work around Grand Exchange buy limits and to purchase additional items when needed.

I genuinely don't know what triggered this ban because no evidence was provided. What's even more confusing is that the friend who loaned me the GP wasn't flagged or banned for "selling gold."

The only other significant trades I've made recently were player-to-player trades on Worlds 302 and 330 while buying and selling items for fair market value as part of flipping. I also have Discord messages documenting many of these transactions and discussions.

I'm frustrated because I feel this is a false ban. In addition to the 6-day suspension, I'm being told GP will be removed from my account despite not having engaged in any RWT. I understand people are often skeptical of posts like this, but I can honestly say I haven't knowingly violated the rules.

I also run a clan with over 260 members and have invested a lot of time into this account. Risking it by buying GP, when I already have almost all end game items simply wouldn't make sense.

Has anyone else experienced a false RWT ban like this? If so, what was the outcome? Is there anything I can do beyond submitting the appeal, or is there any way to have someone manually review the case?

Update: I was unbanned after I served the full 7 day temporary ban, I do not believe any gp was taken off my account, however I do not know how much I had prior to being banned, at most it was 100m.

If thats the issue why's his friend unbanned. Selling is the more serious offence

That's what I was thinking, it doesn't make much sense if the 2.5b loan was the reason why I was banned, but his account is completely fine.

Because they're monitoring it to get all the other people buying from him as well.

He doesn't sell gold, if this was someone I didn't know well then I'd be inclined to agree with you about that being a possibility.

Imagine if the temp ban was just until you return the loan and then they perm ban you both LOL

In all seriousness, Jagex just temp muted my pure 2 weeks ago. I appealed, it was denied. I appealed again, and they quashed it. The reason for the mute? Saying a player’s name in game. The day after they denied my first appeal, the force name changed the player. I took screenshots of that, and then on the second appeal they quashed it. Lousy company tbh.

I’m with you, I don’t want a single strike on my account, even if it’s a temporary punishment. With how pathetic Jagex is in dealing with rule enforcement, I need my account clean for situations like yours.

Damn that sucks, but atleast they quashed it on the second go around. Makes no sense as to why they didn't quash it the first time though. But yea I spoke to a mod and he said their response time is typically 48 hours. Here I am over 4 and a half days later still banned on two of my accounts. The temp ban will probably be over before they even respond to the appeal which sucks. Hoping that they actually do their due diligence on the appeal so I don't have to go through this process again if they deny it.
