Last days i see lots of similar posts in local chats everywhere.
[09:53:38] Some scrub > ===================== I'm Giving Away up to 7 BILLION ISK to Every Player! Check Out My Wallet Journal API: (tricky link here) Read My BIO For More Info: (link to scrub BIO) SHARE THE WEALTH! Send 1 isk to test my API. ====================
Tried to send 1.23ISK - for some journals i see it in history, for some - don't. Site "API reader" doesn't allow easy registration so it looks very suspicious.
Just curious: where is the catch here? Looks like there is some filter by (something) in these "API journals". But if you don't see your donation you won't send more. Would anyone shed a light to this? |

If it's too good to be true, it's scam. That awkward moment when I'm salvaging a Minmatar wreck and after 10 minutes the player starts shooting at me.

it's all good and well known.
what is interesting atm: mechanics of this scam
For example: Erotica 1 use "i don't see your transaction because some troll trolled me bu hundreds of 0.01ISK transactions. Send it again...". It's always good to know "how do they do it" |

Doesn't the "gift" of 7 billion ISK require you to send more than 1 ISK though? At least that's the ones I've seen.
The more you send in the more you get back.

I guess the only way to find out whether it's true or not is to send them a few hundred million ISK to double.
Tell us how it went OP. |

API information does not update instantly. It is cached on CCP's side to reduce the load on the servers. So, if you do want to try to play their games, give them the benefit of the doubt and wait a while (I think the wallet API data is cached for an hour). CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer. |

Simple, the incoming isk transactions are real, so when you send 1 isk you see it pop up.
The outgoing isk transactions are all fake. The Evolution of the Stealth Bomber, and the story of the first Black Ops Capital Kill in EvE.

My theory is if someone wants to give me free ISK, they know where to find me. I shouldn't need to prod them into doing so. Eve Online: The full-contact sport for your brain. |

Why even bother understanding? It's an obvious scam. Just block the scammer and move on. What you want is irrelevant, what you've chosen is at hand. |

My theory:

The outgoing isk transactions are all fake.
I don't know the details but this is the one where he requires set amounts of isk to double triple or whatever? He either sets all of those to high amounts so you can't test if he actually pays, or he's set up a small amount that he does actually pay to coax you into then giving the high amount, which he does not. It looks like very possible. thanks for idea

I sent the money honest! See look at my wallet. Must be a problem with the EVE ISK transfer system - you can't trust banks. Give it a day or two. |

I've never seen this before. I mean: every site i visited allowed me easy registration without any "manual approval" and all this stuff.
So after all it looks like easy: they just filter out some transactions manually or somehow. thus not legit |

March, they just probably have an option to add "custom" transactions to the data they pull from the API. Meaning the site can display any values as it's not directly from the API. Inducing the proliferation of common sense throughout EVE Official forums since April 27th, 2013. |
