Your word counts ... nothing at all.
You could safely trust people as much as they have reputation to lose.
Generally you should not ignore warnings the game gives just cause someone asks you to. For example if someone jettisons items into a container in space and tells you to take them and they're free the game will warn you about stealing. If someone was serious about giving you stuff they could set it so that it won't count as stealing or trade you the stuff in a station.
Anyways being a total rookie you don't have anything of worth to lose so why not just trust someone offering help. If you have something of worth just don't peril it. Leave it at a station. Get out and play in a rookie ship.

New player here. Been playing for less than 3 weeks I think.
One thing that really bothered me is the way that everyone on the forums or wiki or youtube or anything eve-related is always telling you like 'hey, they WILL get you and you¦re gonna lose ships and be scammed and hacked blablabla'.
I understand that pirates are part of the game, more like a profession, and that just like any other game eve has scammers.
But the way that most veterans eve players deal with this is really overrated, at least in this newbie opinion.
Sometimes 30 minutes mining or salvaging is enough to replace any lost frigate, and even if the OP is scamming, is still would be worth the experience.
I mean, been completely new to the game I would pay 200k to someone to take me to 0.0 and try to kill me.
The issue is that some new players clearly do no research on the game and get a nasty shock when they fall for all the easy traps. So experienced players tend to warn new players by default. I see no issue with this at all except the poster taking issue with the Op over stated the case, but his point still holds.
In EVE you do need to take calculated risks and for a new player the risks of taking up the Ops offer are minute compared to the potential benefits so what you say is very true.
Also scamming is allowed and a viable EVE profession, hacking is a criminal offence, please don't mix the two up

funny part is , the best tutoring a new player can recive IS draging his noob ass to lowsec and poding him . Sure , giving back his ship and some extra isk after is nice , but the most important aspect missing from eve`s tutorials is dying in PvP
That said , people with Elena`s outspoken crap attitude will get ganked/scamed /tricked/cheated and generaly abused because they ask for it. Trolling the forums may well have repercursions ingame you know...
To the newbies reading this thread , do take this guy`s offer up . Worst thing that can happen is you`ll lose a t1 frigate . I`ll even make you a deal , I`ll reimburse any frigate / mods lost by any newbie to the op`s potential scams (fraps/screenshots/chatlogs or something similar to prov e the loss will be needed)

I post accurate information about EvE here because rookies are better off knowing the risks and the nature of their fellow players in advance. As opposed to learning through betrayal, which is the kind of thing that leads rookies to leave the game.
Thanks for the empty "forum alt to forum alt" threat. Such nonsense conveys more about the nature of EvE players than 100 lines of descriptive text could.

elena is right, it's a dangerous space we live in indeed.
who to trust when to trust if we even can. anything 0.5 and under is a different space and all should understand that.
people will kill you trying to run mission's come right up behind you and gank you dead, try to jump threw a gate and find a few ships waiting to gank ya on the other side boom you dead, it's a never ending cycle in lowsec. but every little advice you get from the op, elena, me whoever it might be learn from them keep your eyes open and learn from what you see and if you are lucky you just might aquire enough knowledge to make it in this cruel space we all call home
