Hi there. I dont know if this has come up in the past, in fact I am pretty sure it did. Apparently I am the third person among some friends of mine who received an email regarding goon recritment. My friends received emails regarding some kind of 500mil refundable joining deposit. Obviously they didnt pay, since they suspected a scam but I just want to clarify this. Me on the other hand, I received an obvious scam email that gave me instructions of transfering api info to some other member. Its quite obvious its a scam, but I just wanted to let the others know so they dont accidently fall for this. Again, sorry if this is old news but ...
Anyone else around here received similar emails?

What Blane said.
On a personal note, I never had any sympathy for the people that went to try and seek out and join the biggest and most powerful looking blob of people in the game.

Goonfleet has never hidden the fact that we don't open recruit. It's in our corp description for sweet lord Satans sake. If you fall for a Goon recruitment scam you probably had it coming. If not by a goon somebody else would have scammed you eventually.

Rules of eve number 105 and 106
#105 Goonswarm does not openly recruit, dont believe anyone who does. #106 If any person tells you that you need to put up collateral for joining a corp it's a scam.

Receiving an email out of the blue asking for this is not a good sign, but there are many corps that will ask for the limited API key during recruitment (to check the names of your alts on that account). So if you've applied to a corp, and they ask for the limited one, it's not that big a deal.
As for the Goons - ya, they'll take your "deposit" and run. You can usually find a few threads in C&P forum every month, with suckers complaining about their losses to Goons.

This thread is simply not true. I payed my 500 mil isk and gladly had my assets moved to goonspace via a friendly carrier jump and have been loving it ever since. Goonswarm has the best ratting space I have ever seen. I have actually gotten 3 officer spawns in just 2 days. It's incredible!

Even after all I've said it is possible to get sponsored into Goonfleet. Good for you Phantasmo! I won't do it though. We have too much pubbie trash in our alliance as it is. Like Phantasmo, apparently.

Edited by: Lucious McFarsight on 06/08/2009 18:54:06 It is sad seeing so many people do something like that, not that I feel bad for the naive ones that fall for it, but its sad nevertheless.
BTW, I dont wona get hammered by all the goon haters out here,but any people out there willining to sponsor me, cause I've been living in Delve for quite some time and thought maybe its time to join one of the corps in the area. I though of joining through that forum thing a while back, but after takeing a look at it I immediately changed my mind.

If you pay money to get into Goonswarm, and you do actually get into Goonswarm, I'd say you were scammed, because noone would actually want to be in Goonswarm on purpose. =================================================

the goons description changes so frequently you might as well use it as a MOTD board. the Luminare titan: lets pop that *****! http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1175042&page=1 |

Actually, technically it's Libel.
Regardless, if you join SA just to be in goons then you're missing the point. (I've never had the desire to use my SA membership to join up with the goons)

This is correct. Goonswarm only accept people who pay real life currencies to join a forum that is not associated with CCP.
