This guy named Willowrosenberg has offered me to trade his Raven Navy Issue for my Full set of Improved Implants+5 (5 pieces) and kept on convincing me that the ship is easy to sell, he linked me the real raven navy issue ship. Then he suggested to trade face to face in station for saving some isk from making a contract, and I couldn't believe that I agreed(probably I stayed online for too many hours and not in conscious). And during the trade, he replaced the real Raven Navy Issue with a ship named Raven Navy Issue in the trade window, I thought that's the right ship, so I accepted the trade without thinking. After the trade, I right clicked it and found out it's got 'view market details' option available then I selected the option and found out its real value was roughly 75m, then I repackaged it and found out IT'S A RAVEN BUT NAMED AS 'RAVEN NAVY ISSUE' :(
With a rough calculation, I lost around 500-550m isk to him, such an ******* scammer deserve some punishments with no doubts!!! GM's won't care about such scam issues anyway and the game will eventually lose all the good players!(we'll see in the future) >:(
And I believe the one who deserve more punishment will be these ship model designers, lacking of efforts and made lots of those T1 & T2 ships have exactly the same appearance, (for example, Vexor & Ishtar). if they ever paid some extra time to remodel it or change its appearance even a bit slightly, a lot of scams could've been avoided!!! >:(((

So here I'd like to let you guys know, if some strangers request a trade with you or attempt to start a private conversation with you, pls be more cautious or just reject them right away, don't be too nice to them, their motivation probably is just for attempting to scam you. Double or even triple check items before click 'accept'...
