Jita currently has a new semi-permanent inhabitant by the name of not2shabby. He's claiming to be rich and giving away free ISK. I played along in order to get some free (well almost free) entertainment:
[17:05:12] Not2Shabby > Yes I am the guy that Stole 72 Bil in isk and ships from BoB. Today I'm feeling rather generous and would like to give back to the EvE community. I've allocated 3.7 Bil isk to Give to people. Anything you send me I will return 10x. <me deposits 12 M ISK in Not2Shabby his wallet> a few seconds later I receive a convo request from Not2Shabby, obviously my tiny amount of ISK is too troublesome for this big spender:
[17:06:07] Not2Shabby > Due to an enormous Responce to my offer I'm asking for increments of 100m and up only. You can either make the adjustmend by sending the remaining isk needed, or I can return your isk. Please respond asap to get the best spot in the Quere, 100m-... [17:06:28] Not2Shabby > i cna do 50m - 500 [17:06:35] Qwerty TheDutch > don;t have that sort of isk [17:06:40] Not2Shabby > 1 time sends [17:07:12] Not2Shabby > what u got ill work with ya <i think, what a nice guy to offer to step down to my level of small-time wallets> [17:07:56] Qwerty TheDutch > nothing i might gamble on such a leap of trusting a stranger [17:08:09] Qwerty TheDutch > so this was max risk money for me already [17:08:21] Not2Shabby > thats why i do this [17:08:23] Not2Shabby > trust [17:08:31] Not2Shabby > if someoen doesnt trust me they dont need my isk [17:08:39] Qwerty TheDutch > ? [17:09:18] Qwerty TheDutch > so you will not pay me what you promised in jita local chat? (10x times) [17:10:01] Not2Shabby > <br>yea [17:10:08] Not2Shabby > i just got a few in quere [17:10:30] Not2Shabby > if you cant do atleast 30 - 300 im gona refund you when i get to your name [17:10:31] Qwerty TheDutch > ok [17:10:34] Not2Shabby > 5 more infront of you
Not2Shabby is kind enough to announce in Jita local chat who he is paying ISK to, so after 7 names to be called out, I ask him where my refund is. No reply. Damn, I've been scammed for the most of my savings for a new battlecruiser.
A few minutes later it's all over. Not2Shabby announces the 3.7 B ISK have all been spend. The Jita crowd responds with: [17:23:11] Moira Specter > until he comes back in a few hours [17:23:12] King Dave > lies [17:23:15] King Dave > gimme isk isk isk [17:23:19] Ticarus Hellbrandt > i didnt get any isk [17:23:23] King Dave > then i can fly more claws claws claws [17:23:26] Qwerty TheDutch > niether did i [17:23:27] Laura Baretta > have fun with the 20mill shabby ;P
More people seem to have fallen for his promises.
And yes, about an hour later Not2Shabby is back in Jita local chat:
[18:23:27] Not2Shabby > >Yes I am the guy that Stole 72 Bil in isk and ships from BoB. Today I'm feeling rather generous and would like to give back to the EvE community. I've allocated 3.7 Bil isk to Give to people. Anything you send me I will return 10x.
To proof he's legit and to gain trust, he joyfully announces:
[18:18:57] Not2Shabby > Moonaru Izu theres your isk
This person is not in Jita, he must be clairvoyant to have sent money too to Not2Shabby. Now I happen to know this fine capsuleer so I head over to the public chat of his corporation:
[18:20:41] Qwerty TheDutch > [18:18:57] Not2Shabby > Moonaru Iz theres your isk [18:20:49] Qwerty TheDutch > for real moonaru ? [18:22:34] Qwerty TheDutch > moonaru, did not2shady just send you ISK? He is claiming he just did in jita local chat [18:23:42] Moonaru Izu > nope [18:23:54] Qwerty TheDutch > ok, thought so
Oh noes, IT'S A SCAM, he took my ISK and some of the pay-outs he claims turn out to be truely done. Call the police, call CONCORD, call CCP, call somebody!!!
[18:24:06] Qwerty TheDutch > he's doing a give me money i return 10-fold scam :-) [18:24:37] Moonaru Izu > he's an ++CENSORED++ [18:25:04] Qwerty TheDutch > oh yes
If it appears too good to be true, it probably is...

Someone admits to stealing lots of ISK, so you think there trustworthy to send them more ISK?
Well anyone that does it should get scammed over and over again.

I'd say 12m is a fair price for learning such a valuable lesson about the nature of Eve. Welcome, enjoy your stay, and mind your wallet at all times.

I sent him 10,000isk and then kept sending the difference of what he sent me back for a while. I didn't make any money but didn't lose any either. I think he got bored eventually.

Someone was doing exactly this in Rens. I was doing my shopping so I was continually posting how it was a scam. He still made money though.
I do like the idea of profiting off other peoples' greed though. ------------

Lets see how we can convert a Nigerian 419 scam into Eve.
--Change Nigeria to a evicted Alliance. Say Interpid Crossing or IRON or LV (no offense here to IRON/IRC). --Change Dollars held in bank accounts to assets stored on conquered stations. --Change the reason to be something like the ISK is needed due to the new Alliance system holders (Tri, DR, Goons) wanting the ISK to be given docking rights so thew assets can be moved out. --------------- This sig has been censored in fear of recieving the ban hammer... |

your first clue should have been "Yes I am the guy that Stole 72 Bil in isk and ships from BoB."
this would lead me to believe he had trust and credibility issues. ----------------------------------------------- I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum" |

I was wonderhing how the most popular real world scam could be converted to a game where it is impossible to justify "transaction costs" or "bribes" that the real world 419 scam relies on. "i will tenfold your money" is a bit crude, granted, but apparently it works.
Thanks for the heads up |

I can vouch for the authenticity of the so called 'scammer'...
Once I gave the guy 0.7 isk, and he returned to be 7 isk... I thanked him, and we all moved on!
Shame on you all for thinking he's a scammer!

what do I win?
1 Billion isk.
Unfortunately, all of my assets are currently locked in an old FLA station in Deklein. If you send me just 100 million isk, I can pay Triumvirate for access and get you your prize money.

I managed to scam a scammer with my alt. Same trick but I sent 10m with a message that it was a trial amount and if he paid 100m back I would send 500m next time.
My wallet started flashing and sure enough 100m had been sent. Sadly, I was needed elsewhere just after that. I believe it was where my shiny new BS that I had been saving for was now waiting for me :)
