But scamming is legal...
Besides, I've never fallen for one, even when I first started playing a few months back and was more noobier than I still am, never fell for one.
They're all so obvious. I remember tons of people telling me about elaborate contract scams, cutthroats who want to take your money, etc.
Do you know what those elaborate contract scams turned out to be?

Dear Sir/ Madam SAVE OUR SOUL With deep sense of frustration and desperation I have decided to reach out to the world for help and that is what this letter is all about. I am VanNostrum the third son of Late General Sani Abarra, Caldari former Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, has been captive since 8th June, 2006.
Owing to allegations of financial misappropriations levelled against my father, the immediate past Military Government of Gen. Haakla Pandaaru freeze all traceable local and foreign bank accounts in the family's name and also seized our vast estates together with other fixed assets of my family. My mother is still under house arrest since June last year and my elder brother Jima is currently in detention being prosecuted by the incumbent democratic government charged with series of allegations.
I consider you reputable and trustworthy enough to assist me in receiving the sum of 27b ISK (Twenty Seven Billion Interstellar Kredits) in cash in Kourmone which was not detected by the security operatives, that was stashed by my father in one of our private luxury pads. It has become obvious that if immediate action is not taken our family will be ruined forever by this hideous administration. I have equally agreed in principle to offer you 25% of the fund for your services. The evacuation of the fund is not a problem, I desperately require your candid assistance to act as the Trustee of the fund in your personal or corporate name with a valid bank account in Jita or Amarr. Should you be interested send 192m ISK to this account for my father's bailout and contact me immediately. Regards,
VanNostrum

Dear mr.Lemons
Please stop posting ever again.
Ive come across few of your posts when reading forums in past few months, and they all are whining uber-c.r.a.p
I mean there are people who whine about this and about, and sometimes propose their own solutions.
But your whining and solutions are just plain stupid. Idk if i remmember correctly but i think you are the guy who proposed for eve to reward players who are more hours a day online..etc (dont remmember correctly if you are that guy :P
you whined that eve is too expensive to pay.. you whined about this and about that And now you whine about scammers.
When i click to open a post about scamming i expect to find a funny story how some guy lost all his isk and not your non-intelligent stuff...
So...scammers are part of eve, and i like it although i am not a scammer myself. Eve is not too expensive. And for all your other posts also NO.
My advice to you is: Find a life, go take a stroll (its nice sunny outside, spring finnaly came :D ) and go play wow if you like, eve will NEVER became wow or some c.r.a.p like that, and make your peace with it.
GTFO and stop posting.
And also..contact me if you want to buy ravven navy for only 300M. Get it until my stock runs dry... :D |

This.
Nobody is forcing anyone to stare at Jita local and watch the text wall of scams.
Know what you want to buy, know how much it costs and for goodness sake know how many 0's are in a million!

As we can all agree, so much as PASSING through jita has been made into a one way ticket to literaly filling your local chat window to the brim with almost pure scams.
Do what I do with my Jita alt- just add scammers to your block list... or even better than cracking down on scamming (which as pointed out is allowed) educate the great unwashed into not falling for scams. When scams become non-profit making they'll stop spamming local.

What gets up my nose is people who think "scamming is allowed in EVE" is a reasonable argument in defence of the kind of crap the OP is on about. Yes, scamming is allowed in EVE, which is SUPPOSED to mean that if you're clever enough to trick someone out of their money, you're allowed to keep it. It defends the actions of the Guiding Hands Social Club and other organizations of their ilk which couldn't exist in any other game. It really shouldn't be interpreted as a license to spam annoying and pointless bullcrap that only the dumbest or most naive player would fall for- that's not scamming, it's spamming. This is EVE Online, the smartest and most hardcore MMORPG ever made, which sneers at WoW and other weak-ass wannabes, not bloody 4chan!
And even considering the dumb and naive that fall for these scams- so what? You think these scammers are doing you some kind of service by "weeding these players out"? Like hell. And naive players, who are naive because they just started the game, what are they getting from this? You could say they're learning an important lesson about not falling for stupid bullcrap- but what are they actually learning here? What do you learn from slamming your hand in a car door? You learn not to slam your hand in a car door. That's not the same as learning to drive.
And it IS annoying. When I'm perusing the battleship contracts, for example, I can't help but notice that up to a solid THIRD of them are scams, and utterly stupid scams too. Honestly, WTB State Issue Raven for 500 isk? Do these morons even know how rare a State Issue Raven is? And do they really think the precious few who DO manage to get their hands on one would be stupid enough to casually sell it off with a few clicks of the mouse without even giving the contract more than the most cursory of glances? It is, plainly and simply, nothing more than a complete waste of space and makes wading through the contracts pages akin to scrabbling in a toilet for a coin. Anyone who tries to defend such pure and undiluted IDIOCY is doing nothing more than trying to make themselves feel hardcore by insisting they're playing a game where "look, you can scam people freely! AWESOME!" Grow up.

The problem is not the scam-contract, the problem is that makro/spambot setup which advertises the contract in local every minute. With an average of 750 players in jita and the "advertising maschine" running 23/7 chances are high someone will fall for it. Without the makro you would not even have that ammount of scam contracts cause nobody would sit in jita hitting ctrl+v every minute in order to get attention for his contract.

Stop it, you're making sense. That's not allowed here. Get to whining or GTFO. --------------- Faction-Militia:Player-Alliance::Newbie-corp:Player-corp |

And this just raises the question: why are you looking at these contracts in a way that even makes the scam contracts show up? They're trivially easy to filter out and even to make such a filter standard. There is quite literally no reason to ever see a scam contract other than by active choice.
So no, they're not particularly annoying unless you choose to make it so. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Look, I've been told off for making sense only a few posts ago and now you wander in here without a care in the world and talk even more sense.
This behaviour from both of us is inexcusable as we're not: whining, moaning, threatening to quit, asking if we can have the stuff of someone threatening to quit, beating ccp up over <player actions, spam, scams, crashes, gm reimb policies>.
