Earlier after seeing somebody spamming jita with a character bazar scam I see somebody is on the forums after being scammed - his thread has been locked.
But the purpose of this thread is to warn people it seems to be a new scam - or somebody thinks they can get away with it so be careful using bazar currently.
Even though CCP state they have a 0 tolerance policy on character bazar scams, it will still take time to investigate and get your ISK back so better safe than sorry Dont just think outside the box, Live outside of it... |

That's why there's a sticky at the top of the character bazar forum. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

Or he didn't fully read the advertisement, and instead it was for the legitimate discount ship website, www.eve-bazaar.com See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did. |

He was not talking about EVE Bazaar. "I saw him fight by the monument in Jita. He flowed in his Machariel like a Shinto spirit, 800MM shells sprouting in his passing. His hair flowed in the corona of his target's warp core breach. It was truly majestic. And while everyone stared in awe I stole the loot and ran off. Because I am like that." - NEONOVUS |

I'm studying at the moment as a mature student and feedback sessions with my tutors are punctuated by them looking like they are going to explode into a fit of giggling. Most recent helpful comment was "Do you actually know how a semi colon should be used?" To which I replied, "Nope. I just throw a few in to distract the marker from the hundreds of commas and long stream of consciousness paragraphs where I try to bury flimsy arguments under an avalanche of words. I though it was creative."
In all seriousness re character trading I've bought and sold close to 100 myself and never been scammed, although I know it happens. I've never heard of anyone not getting their money back from GMs, it just takes time to resolve. I really don't see the point of squawking over delays which are probably necessary to investigate properly, or reporting scams when so few happen. It's a player-to-player transaction so really we're pretty lucky it's covered by CCP at all, no other types of player transactions are. - |

I have a long list of those and not sure I could fit another that was not as important. |

Character exchange scams are illegal under new eden law. It's simple: report scam and watch scammers account get banned while you get reimbursed. The rules are pretty explicit here. Anyone running character bazaar scams is an idiot.

Rest assured that all reported Character Bazaar scams are thoroughly investigated by the GM team. That includes the reports we as CCL send in ourselves on any fishy looking character sale threads we find. Also, as there is explicit warning in the stickies in CB on scammers to buyers and sellers alike, this thread is deemed redundant and therefore gets a lock.
The rules: 16. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.
As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.
