it works
Every since my 12 PLEX giveaway thread got buried in a forum section no one knows exists, the only traffic to the thread has been when I was spamming it in Jita local |

Me too.
On the upside, there are interesting interactions to be had once you block a few of the more annoying spammers. For instance, just today someone tried to post a bunny and failed - not once, not twice, but literally a dozen times. I felt so sorry for him I gave 100M isk to the first guy who did succeed (cheers Anton!). Ah, the good times. |

Pretty sure flyers are still the most effective form of advertisement.

Thread not getting enough attention? Bumping rules getting you down? Make another thread with no point other than advertising your first thread! Forum rules are for pansies! Not everyone thinks the same way you do. This doesn't automatically make them wrong. |

I've actually always wondered if people fell for all the spam in Jita local. Especially the obvious scams, like offering to sell plex through contract for less then buy order prices...

For the life of me, I can't figure out what's a scam about that. I see those, I assume they're scams, but I look at the contract and see that I am indeed giving less than buy order price and recieving 1x PLEX.
Help me out here. |

I've seen something similar once, only the scammer in question posted 3 contracts together, the first two were indeed 1 PLEX for far, far, below market value, but had already been bought, the third was the scam contract.
It worked, since a person clicking through the first two would automatically assume the third is legit and hurry to grab it before it's snatched up like the first two.
I'd have fallen for it myself had I not double checked. |

I buy everything advertised to me in Jita. I burn through 50 PLEX a month, but I have tons of skillbooks and ore. Tears will be shed and pants will need to be changed all round. |

Help me out here. You're also giving away 1x PLEX. I checked very carefully. It's been a few days since I've been in Jita, but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed this. |

It took me a while before I noticed it as well. It doesn't look 'wrong' until you look at a legitimate contract beside it. although my eyes were open they might have just as well've been closed

What I find sad is people's inability to type "Ever since" without jamming a 'y' in there too. The Drake is a Lie |

I knew it would have to be a scam, but I didn't see until I looked at it for a third time.

That's not how it works. He contracts the items to his alts.
Imagine, why would he want to waste two PLEX ?
The third one is the contract one'd take, when in a haste. The first two simply fool into believing that the third one will be legit too ...
... and at the end ...
................ for a really short moment ...
...................... the buyer believes he has made a great deal.
The End.
(edit: the haste occurs because of the buyer actually believing he's competing with others for the contracts.) Inappropriate signature removed. Spitfire |

Yes I know he "sells" the first two to his alts, sorry for being unclear about that. |

Jita spammers are an example of how a good thing always has to be screwed up by taking it too extremes.
