Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you all know fella named MickeyKnox is loan scamming. Offers 2 billion isk (max at 10%) no collateral, under threat of War Dec if you don't pay. He sets up the contract, looks legit but when you pay the 10% (200 mil) the contract is completed and you don't get any loan.
Loan Contract Scam - is considered an exploit by CCP http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1519&tid=1 So I say report him!
Anyway, yes I got taken for 200 mil - no big loss but thought a friendly heads up so people can avoid business with him in the future was in order.

Seems the old Jita scammers have found a new way to make money. Also, I now have one of those annoying sigs.

Well I'm just going to say that as a dear friend of Swift, he personally petitioned this. He has no less than three confirmations from GMs that it's okay, but thanks for your time.

If you got scammed, dont blame Mickeynox... Blame yourself you bag of old farths
Besides, if every little crybaby that got scammed made a post in C&P about it, it would get flooded with ****posts and cry.... oh wait

Yes, you should learn to read And while you are at it (learning to read that is) go away... just go away...
