" 2009.03.01 02:04 CONGRATULATIONS!!! You've won the runner-up prize for the B1G Lottery Jita Jam! This prize includes 500,000,000 ISK for being the 737rd person enter Jita today!
Due to the verification process--we must ask that you send a small fee of 10 million isk to this character (Miss Boonshaker). We ask this because the amount of RWT (Real-Word-Trading) is obscene and we would regret if we ever sent any of our prizes to a macroer, ISK farmer or cheater. But lucky for you, this 10 million isk will also automatically enter you ten times in the next B1G Lottery which will take place on the 14th of March with the main prize being 5,000,000,000 isk!
We can only hold the isk for 42 hours before we re-draw.
If you have any further questions please feel free to shoot us back an Eve-mail.
Win B1G with MissBoonshaker!!!"

petitioning the selling ISK offers seems to - if you add the seller to your friends list you'll see they go offline very quickly after the report and don't come back on - but this email is just a scam (and so not against the rules) and petitioning it is pointless.

i dont want to petition the scam but the stupidity. everybody who makes those stupid scams and everybody who falls for those scams should be banned from eve and earth forever or to give them a chance they should be prisoned into brain camps for about 50 years - if that helps

Yes you got it right from the start: Block and delete it is.
Whats sad about this is the tremendous amount of spam the scammers are generating, and that's the reason I have called for a regulation. If trial account users had the ability for scripting disabled, we would see quite less and live forever and ever happy.
Is it a new forum rule. That for everyone posting something you don't agree on. You should accuse them of being a troll? ;) |

Scammers just don't put forth the effort like they used to anymore. ______________ Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. |

it includes players (it's somewhere in the EULA). someone once scammed using the name Chr1bba (or similar) and he got a nasty spanking from CCP for impersonating everyone's favourite EVE demi-god.

True that, true that.
Say, now that you're here, want to trade some ISK for ISK?
I've got a splendid offer, just for you. For every isk you buy, i'll send you TWO isk back! Imagine. For every isk, TWO isks back. You might think i'm insane, but i'm not, honestly. Buy now and get one ISK for free, only costs you 3 isk/isk
