Scammer name: Willowrosenberg
Location: Jita
This guy 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 during the trade, he replaced it with a ship named Raven Navy Issue, I thought that's the ship, so I accept the trade without thinking. After the trade, I right click it and found out it's got 'view market details' option available then I clicked it and found out its real value is 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 >:(
And I believe the one who deserve more punishment will be these ship model designers, lack of efforts, making these ships have exactly the same appearance, if they paid some extra time to remodel it or change its appearance even a bit slightly, a lot of scams could've been avoided!!! >:(((

Lol, that's a good one isn't it?
Edit: Sadly you have to have someone able to fly it change the name. Alts that can't fly it can't change the name. Also, is there an issue with the length of the name coming into play? How long can a name be?

So you got scammed and that means you need to pick on the ship model designers because some ships look alike?
Aside from that, always check the info on a ship in a contract before you accept... always. |

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) >:(
Why would you lose good players? Good players would for sure not be stupid enough to fall for such a scam....

As many have said already, ALWAYS check info before accepting the contract/trade. Blaming the designers for this is lazy and stupid, you're only trying to blame anyone but you for this mistake. Mistakes happen, scams happen, learn from it and move on.
On the small chance this isn't a troll, the obvious answer to why a lot of ships look alike is, they have the same hulls. Although they usually have a color difference, checking the info on the ship will catch the scam every time. Best of luck in your continued adventures in Eve. Be glad this lesson ONLY cost you 500mil. |

500m isk means a lot to me, I'm not a hardcore player, cannot generate more than 10m isk per day. :(
Well, ur right, this lesson taught me not to trust anyone in game nor in real life, and more than that the global econ recession situation in real life directly reflected in the virtual world too, but still this lesson was way too pricy for a newbie, doubt I'll be able to move on!~ T_T

1. You can do the same thing he did and get regain your losses. Surely there's at least one other idiot in Jita ripe for a scamming.
2. Don't ever buy a house, car, or join the military. Those contracts require "slightly" more reading and can cost you lots of RL ISK and even get you shipped off to die in some 3rd world country you didn't even know existed.
3. If you have any stuff left, can I have it?

You are a rude little man with a lot of anger, I for one applaud Willowrosenberg for what seems to me, to be a perfectly legitimate business transaction.
He gave you a ship, you gave him implants, what does the name of the ship have to do with anything? If the values are scewed, well that just means he's the better trade.
I don't think its fair to blame Willow for your own foolish deficencies

Rude? I don't think so. With a bit of anger? Of course! Before we trade, he promised that he would trade a Raven Navy Issue for my +5 implants, but he gave me a fake one and you call that a perfectly legitimate business transaction?! Even newbies won't agree to trade full set of +5 implants for a raven unless he cheated. A single +5 implants would worth 50-60m more than a raven, not to mention full set of 5 implants. Imagine how do you feel if ur the one who's receiving the faked raven navy issue at this point...

Excellent work by Willowrosenberg.
Don't worry about it Xeth Hu... there will be plenty of opportunity for you to make some ISK off the back of someone elses hard work. Just remember that in Eve, like in real life, that everyone is somebody elses breakfast at some point.
And whether you're beating/scamming someone else, or having your own arse handed to you, it should be fun either way. If it isn't, then you're doing it wrong.
