Lightningshade Caldari The Athiest Syndicate Advocated Destruction	Posted - 2009.05.10 21:11:00 - [1] Edited by: Lightningshade on 10/05/2009 21:11:23 Originally by: Michael Hoare I have discovered a very effective tactic for dealing with scammers. . . .every time they spam one of their bogus contracts in local, simple paste 30-50 lines of single characters! * * * * etc. . . This will not only remove the offending contract from view on the public channel, but is highly frustrating to the would be scammer as it prevents his potenial victims from even seeing his bait! Based on the response I have recieved after only a few minutes of trying this tactic in Jita I can say two things: 1) CCP will never put a stop to scamming because I believe the majority of the scam artist are CCP-alts 2) These tactics work incredibly well when you can get two or even three people working in concert Rise up citizen! Strike back at the people who are ruining this game! Fight them with every means at your disposal! I also have a very efficient method IT has a few essential components It doesnt require a fleet of "Anti-Spam turbo vigilante warriorz" Simply Right click Block Arent you glad you read and FAO Michael - Dont be a hero, I always want heroes to DIAF

Rise up and fight the scammers! Spam them into oblivion! Hmm, it's not quite rising up For instance, I saw a scam and then saw your text in Jita. I chose to block you first, and then block the scammer.
