Furnus	Posted - 2010.01.14 03:45:00 - [1] Not long before Christmas, I got bored of being in the corporation I was in, wanted more, same old, same old. I went to the recru channel to check out if any corporations had the kind of industrial system I was looking for. I've been searching around and have never found anything like that, so I doubted I'd find anything, but after not long, Tyrrhena Maxus, a "recruiter" from Igneus Auctorita [IGNE], a corporation in the Goon alliance. He checked my API (apparently), I renewed my API, and he acted all pleased with my skills, that I had a nice this and that, also pleased with the fact that I had the Minmatar Industrial Level 5, and how the corp needed more freighter pilots. There was one catch though: I needed to give him 500m isk, for them to be able to know that I wasnt a spy. I even got to talk to a member who had "just joined", which also told me "yeah, I got the money back like the day after". If I joined, I was promised the level 1 skills i needed to be able to fly the Fenrir, got all psyched about that, and left my old corp, to be able to join the new one. My Hulk blew up after someone suicide ganking me, and my Raven blew up in a mission. I thought "hmm, I'm probably going far, far away to wherever I'm going", So I sold all my stuff, ending up with 342m isk. Tyrrhena said he could supply the rest from his own pocket, if I sent him close to 500m. I sent him my 342m, with a message "I hope this is enough". After two-three days, Tyrrhena sent me a message "Im terriblly sorry valued space pilot I have been very busy Your application has been accepted, welcome aboard!" The application was never accepted, the CEO of that corp blocked me, but Tyrrhena Maxus kept the scam up for as long as he could. I was leaving my old corporation which I thought I'd stay in forever, and instead of asking around "should i trust the goons?" I kept it all a secret, and lost 342m isk to one of EVE's worst *******s who apparently needed some extra cash. Well, nice to be of service, they got me, and they got me bad. To all you guys who have no idea about the goons, or what they can do, did do: thanks for reading this warning, I hope it was informative. I'm now, after a week, still broke, as after losing this much money, you kinda get a bit poofed out... All contributions of money, items, ships, or convos with a "hey, i went through the same thing", or whatever, are heavily appreciated. Furnus
Johnette Napolitano	Posted - 2010.01.14 03:50:00 - [2] I can't tell if you are a goon trying to scam free cash or a victim of a scam that you can find out EASILY enough by using any search page in the world, because this scam is common as dirt by them. You deserved to lose your isk and I hope you learned your lesson. Welcome to Eve.

Herty The Sexy Carebear Boredom Convention	Posted - 2010.01.14 04:18:00 - [8] This is obviously a troll because if you really had no idea who goons were then you wouldnt refer to them as goons but as goonswarm or the corp that you were trying to join. Also I thought only goonfleet did the recruitment scam.
Jessica Lanson Port Hercules	Posted - 2010.01.14 04:44:00 - [9] It's funny how this comes up exactly as Hulkageddon ends. Almost as if Goonswarm feels sidelined by the event - which has overshadowed their own Jihad - and suddenly needs to remind all of New Eden that they're still here and still griefing.

KaiserSoze434	Posted - 2010.01.14 06:12:00 - [11] This can't possibly be anything but a troll. No one could possibly be that stupid. It is kind of a good scam though. 1. Realize that people scammed by goons are morons. 2. Proclaim to the world that you yourself are a moron. 3. Ask morons to send you money in the spirit of moron brotherhood. Bravo sir, bravo.

Zill The Scope	Posted - 2010.01.14 08:00:00 - [12] Originally by: Jessica Lanson It's funny how this comes up exactly as Hulkageddon ends. Almost as if Goonswarm feels sidelined by the event - which has overshadowed their own Jihad - and suddenly needs to remind all of New Eden that they're still here and still griefing. This in no way overshadows Jihad. Jihad was done extremely well, an your mass killing of day 1 new players in rooki ships in 1.0 is not a coarse for celebration. It's very easy to organize a mindless gank an brag about killing miners an day oners with tempests an BS. Goonies Jihad was superbly done an really kicked up a storm, this "event"lol was nothing more than a teenage rampage for giggles. The only people that will talk about this are the gankers. EVERYONE knows Jihad heh Not only that at least Goonies earned their rep in 0.0 being at war for what, 5 years ? I don't see any of the ganker elite with such a record :) I lost 2 hulks to Jihad an have no issues with it at all.Goonies may be dysfunctional, but the advertising they have have generated for EvE over years cant be bought. no I am not an ex goon, I've killed a few but I would never join them.

Calydonian Boar	Posted - 2010.01.14 08:51:00 - [17] Fact: paying money to join a corp is stupid Fact: posting in forums about this making your stupidity public is even more stupid Fact: crying about your stupidity is pathetic Fact: you make more money by killing goons than being one of them Fact: there are hundreds of goon recruitment scam threads, posting on a forum but not reading anything in it is fail Fact: ALL SCAMS RELY ON PEOPLEs STUPIDITY SO IF YOU GET SCAMMED KEEP IT TO YOURSELF FOR YOUR SAKE

Battleclinic is showing in goonswarm's entire presence on there you have destroyed 3624 exhumers. over 5 years you say? Hulkageddon has killed 1210 so far. in 1 week. If your looking at those stats and thinking goonswarm have done anything amazing I don't get where your coming from.. Do you even know what hulkageddon is? what's day old noobs in noob ships got to do with anything? o.O

Also I thought only goonfleet did the recruitment scam. ^This. OP, you had a pretty good story going until you blatantly asked for donations at the end. The slip up of using the name 'Goons' might've gone un-noticed to some, but sticking your hand out after telling the sob story is a big red flag.

Guillieme Lohran	Posted - 2010.01.14 16:21:00 - [27] You do know that on the Goons' own website it says that if someone asks for money to join then they are scamming you right? Hard to feel sorry for someone who gets scammed when the people doing the scamming told you they are going to scam you. Have some extra failsauce with those tears.

Especially if a member of Goonswarm says he will help you join. You, sir, are misinformed. Furnus, this pathetic attempt to use pity as a "scam charity" is atrocious. In fact, you know very well that your deposit was returned after you decided that hostilities in our space were too much for you and withdrew your application. I am impressed with your initiative in turning this into a donation drive thread, but do not drag our fine corp into your chicanery. Of course, I cannot speak for Goonfleet, but IGNE recruiting is strictly monitored and all info and deposits are kept secure. Good day to you, sir.

Where in any of the numerous event pages was killing day old n00bs ever mentioned as the official objective? The rules were very clear, only exhumers counted for prizes, which take minimum 2 months to train for. If anyone killed someone mining in their n00b ship, they did so of their own volition, as this was never the stated goal, and would be an utter waste of a good suicide gank ship, not to mention a very bad excuse for loss of sec status. Stop trying to play up your side of the argument by making such asinine statements, you only make yourself look like even more of an old fool. ___________________________ Swartans!
