TL;DR: Look up contract history on "Urien Tas"
I would like to announce to the entire EVE-Online community that there is a new top-dawg scammer in EVE.
His name?
Urien Tas
On, July 30th at 04:42 EVE-Time this clever fellow someone passed off 1 unit Antimatter Charge M and 1 unit of Isogen as 1 unit of Antimatter Charge M and one unit of Isogen, and scammed the player "yanlaizhou" out of 1.6 Billion ISK.
Here's a picture of the event:
(url: http://www.h4x.me/eve/1.jpg)
"yanlaizhou" sure got schooled on that deal! But I took another look and, yanlaizhou got scammed by this player not once, not twice, but THREE times!!! What a sucker "yanlaizhou" must be!
You just don't see that these days do you? This is like scammer supreme. This is absolutely insane.
I then took a look further back to see just how successful this guy really is at the scamming business. And then I saw something horrible.
Our scammer hero on July 28th, at 20:33 EVE time, took a significant loss. Some scammer tried to pass off 1 unit of Tritanium as 1 unit of Tritanium, and scammed our hero out of 1.1 billion ISK.
(url: http://www.h4x.me/eve/2.jpg)
A sad day indeed for our scammer hero, but I guess you have your good days and bad days eh? So lets look a little further back to see how well our scammer hero does overall...
Oh no, it looks like on July 28th, at 04:21 EVE time, our scammer hero took another loss, a scammer somehow passed off 1 unit of Isogen as 1 unit of Isogen, and scammed our hero out of 880 million ISK.
Wow. Tough break eh? Maybe our hero will be sure to inspect his contracts more carefully.
(url: http://www.h4x.me/eve/3.jpg)
Lets go a little further back, maybe our hero is just having a bad week... let's go to oh I don't know, July 16th! Oh, this one is good.
(url: http://www.h4x.me/eve/4.jpg)
This time it looks like it's much better for our scammer hero, having sold 1 unit of water for 1.1 billion ISK on July 16th, 08:00 EVE time. That dude must have been really thirsty! What a sucker!
Oh wait... oh no no no... what happened here?
(url: http://www.h4x.me/eve/5.jpg)
Aww damn! Looks like Unien Tas actually took a loss on that scam, since he paid 1.15 billion ISK for that 1 unit of water. Damn, can't a scammer get any breaks!
Why is this here? Because obviously something is fishy is going on here and petitions got sent into a wormhole and petitions don't have scanner probes.

Now now. We have no real proof here. They could just be stupid. Like really stupid. Like really really stupid. Like "OMG I FORGOT HOW TO BREATH!!" stupid or "WHICH END DOES THE FOOD GO IN AGAIN?!" stupid.
At which point I think they fall under disabled and it would be wrong of us to laugh at them. I mean we'd still do it and all, but it'd be wrong. I mean we'd really still do it.

Only you'll be paying the contract fees every time. So you're really just trolling yourself and wasting your time.

It is obvious that it is just isk sellers laundering their isk. Yes people can be really stupid but seriously, all those contracts for auctions being created and ending in a matter of minutes. It's not a scammer but I would gather CCP would be interested in this.

Voogru!
I've been gone for a very long time, but its good to see that you're still around and up to the same old ISK-farmer harassing.
As for the greatest scam in Eve, I daresay that there's only a couple of people who actually know about it. =p

Edited by: Nexa Necis on 01/08/2009 05:41:10 Did you petition them Voogru? It would be interesting to see if CCP really does anything.
I've petitioned people who not only admit to it several times, they go into detail on how they do it and what they use, I take screenshots of it on multiple occasions and they always say, "We will look into it. We can't discuss the end result or actions we end up taking, but we are now aware, thanks."
Then I see the person still doing it daily for months after, petition again, same response, same thing over and over.

This is the way how the ISK seller try to move the money between accounts. They need to be banned!

Actually I'm more interested in figuring out ways to exploit this. Maybe there's a way to get then to accept *my* contract for the billion isk trit.
I figure as long as I petition it, and get a GM's ok to keep the isk, I'm all good. Assuming I can think of a way to pull it off...

I will say go for it, but make shure to clear it with a GM if you get a success

1. Realise they (CCP) don't care. 2. Make your own macros 3. Decide whether to macro mining or ratting. 4. Google RMT sites. 5. ??? 6. Profit

Since I don't see any of the Forum Moderator's personal favourites in this thread, I feel safe saying that this has been going on for years as the OP knows full well. As has 23/7 account activity, which they could also automagically detect and flag. lol, unless of course, I've just posted a view opposing somebody who happens to have a friend in the forum moderation brigade. In which case, I meant to agree with you lol |

This isn't a scam. Pure isk selling / laundry
It should be reported to the GM's

When an isk seller is reported, they can't just investigate and ban that individual immediately. That would provide far too much feedback on what processes they're using are detectable. In this instance, the ISK seller or buyer clearly believes that laundering the ISK through contracts and multiple characters makes it less traceable, something that we know is laughable. But instead of just banning the guy, it makes sense to collect the names of his supplier characters and customers and follow their transaction/contract history to map out an RMT network to bust. That strategy does a particularly good job of screwing over ISK buyers as they go for months thinking they've gotten away with buying.
It's like the Warden system that Diablo II uses to ban botters. If they banned them instantly, the feedback would inform botters of what does/doesn't get you banned and they would make better processes as a result. Granted, the Diablo II botting community do pretty much everything to stay ahead of Blizzard, including decompiling game code and packets. But the idea is solid, that you don't get banned so much as put on a ****-list who are all banned at some point in the future.
