So I am docked at Jita in my alt (me) and I notice a courier contract pop up in chat, 511k m3 with 20m Collateral. I accepted.
(Tops up the coffee)
Now I open the box and find some PI minerals inside, in total worth about 560m give or take, I break it open and sell it rubbing my hands together at this fast profit until an idea comes to mind. This guy must be short of a few brain cells, I WILL RANSOM HIS BOX!
I open up a private conversation with him, telling him I am a noob, making a mistake on this large contract and he believes every word I tell him, he says he will meet me and make a trade to deliver his package for me.
(wait 15mins for him to make it to Jita) In this time a friend passes me an empty contract box and I rename it to match the above contract.
The guy docks and I open a trade, I put in the "new and empty box" and I then asked him for 250mill or else I keep it, (INSERT CENSORED RANTING).
In the end he pays me 100mil and I accept as he is just pleading poverty, I wanted something after all. he gets box and I wait for him to realise he just got scammed!!
(Censored Rantings)
He leaves conversation..
To sum up this guys stupidity made me 560m from his 20m Collateral courier, on top of this I ransomed him back his box (an empty fake) for 100m on top.. 660m and a bloody good laugh.
Thought it would be nice to share.

Why do you think there are so many scam in Jita.... and just about everywhere?
There would not be any scams if people did not keep falling for them. I'm not a Pirate, I'm a Terrorist.

while not technically a completely empty box, it may as well have been.

Did I read this right? He put a 10 billion isk bounty on you after claiming he had only 100 million isk? The dishonesty of some people. I am glad he got scammed. I don't always troll, but when I do I do it on EVE Online forums.

Why was the collateral so low?
I applaud the underhand and devious nature with which the OP concluded his business but if the value of the gear was over half a billion ISK, then why was collateral not even a tenth of that? Pure financial stupidity. |

Pure financial stupidity. The worst part is his toon is 4yrs and 3mo old and he is ceo of a corp.... No idea how he made the mistake of 20m, even if he meant to put 200m it was still less than half true value. I am very happy with the result, who says monocle's do nothing lol, keeping my eye open for the next scam I really did enjoy this.

EVE. You're doing it right. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing. |
