Doctor Deals	Posted - 2010.05.19 21:19:00 - [31] Originally by: SCAMwatch You do not need to copy & paste all of them, just open our corporation description tab to see right clickable links for the most recent scammers. Plus, you seem to have found an opportunity to advertise your "Legit Trading" solution. Any more ads coming along? Maybe Quafe next time? If a person is smart enough to remember to block a list in a corporation description tab every few days, then im sure they will have no problem reading a contract and figure out its a scam. The 'legit trading' channel filters out the crap contracts and lets you view legit contracts from all over eve - Not just jita local. A few scammers may get in, but they are quickly banned. A more passive stance on scamming is ideal in my eyes.

A more passive stance on scamming is ideal in my eyes. I have to admit that most people who fall for these scams are actually 'drunk' or otherwise intoxicated at the time the incident happens. I appreciate your stance against scamming, but it will still not resolve (reduce) the flow of illicit ISK to scammer wallets. (approx. 2 billion a week for a dedicated scammer).
Anaxis Muntaine Black Bridge Services	Posted - 2010.05.20 02:18:00 - [33] I'll be one of the rare few to say something positive here. I probably would not use SCAMWatch for my daily EVE play, as one does get used to noticing and ignoring all the usual scams we see every day (in fact, I think scams make EVE better, not worse, as they add that additional level of realism). However, I do see some utility in it if you are, say, for example, seeking out a specific service for the first time. Example: let's say I wanted to move a bunch of items from my corp HQ to another location (for whatever reason) - and let's say I had never used a third party transportation service. I could see, in that case, checking out SCAMWatch to educate myself on scams relating specifically to transportation-for-hire. The same could b etrue for someone who wants to hire a merc corp for the frist time (Lord knows scams abound there), or for breaking into commodities trading as a new trader, etc etc etc. Anyway, just wanted to offer that as a suggestion. Cheers
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2010.05.20 02:25:00 - [34] While your efforts are seemingly noble, it seems you are focusing on countering contract scammers. This type of scammer posts obvious and dumb contracts into local. The people who fall for these are those that fail to read details; exactly the kind of people that won't pay attention to your crusade. There's often enough some bored missioners/traders/ship spinners in these hubs crying scam after half of these anyway. It's a nice effort from you to try and save some unfortunate people from losing their ISK but really, I think there's a better way to approach this. ~_~ (Retired from ship toasting. Now a professional.)

Uruz Rune Minmatar Maelstrom Crew Paradigm Alliance	Posted - 2010.05.22 12:41:00 - [37] Edited by: Uruz Rune on 22/05/2010 12:41:21 If you need a service like SCAMwatch, you are probably too dumb to play EVE. So, indirectly, he's identifying the list of people who are too dumb to play EVE so that we might take action. I, for one, support SCAMwatch.
PosterBoyOfNothingMuch	Posted - 2010.05.24 13:28:00 - [38] Originally by: SCAMwatch Although we appreciate that EVE offers freedom to all forms of playing style, including those of 'despicable' and 'lowly' kind, we still believe that some form of in-game 'customer-protection' would have a point. No. Anyone who doesn't use their brain deserves to suffer.
Ferrus Manuss	Posted - 2010.05.24 17:28:00 - [39] While i think that what you are trying to do is a nobel thing, you are harming your cause by who you associate with.

No. Anyone who doesn't use their brain deserves to suffer. No. Anyone who scams isn't any better off using their brains either. They therfore deserve to not profit. Oh, I don't want to hear about complex scams requiring brains. That's bull$hit. They require placement and/or time. Gtfo of here with that trash.
Danks Caldari Fat Angry Toe Tappin Inbreds	Posted - 2010.05.24 20:06:00 - [41] If this is indeed legit, why do you actually care about others being scammed?
Rick Venus Minmatar Matari Republican Army	Posted - 2010.05.24 23:29:00 - [42] I am a scammer. I pay SCAMwatch to keep me off of my list.
Mme Pinkerton United Engineering Services	Posted - 2010.05.25 11:34:00 - [43] I like the part where you "guarantee" that certain people won't scam: Quote: We Validate this player for all business transactions and Guarantee that the job you pay for will be done. I hope this means that scamwatch does pay compensation if one of the "verified" guys does not do his job properly or decides to scam?
superBitch2nd	Posted - 2010.05.25 11:53:00 - [44] I Fully support this. scamwatch does a good job of clearing jita local of scams altho i lost some isk last night, i will donate when i can get back on my feel scam keep up the good work.
SCAMwatch	Posted - 2010.05.26 01:39:00 - [45] Originally by: Ferrus Manuss While i think that what you are trying to do is a nobel thing, you are harming your cause by who you associate with. Can I ask what is wrong with whom I associate with? If you are meaning Joe Phoenix, I encountered him just by chance, and he has been actively supporting our project.
Ferrus Manuss	Posted - 2010.05.26 11:09:00 - [46] My corp and I tried to work with joe a few month back. All i and my corp got from it was empty promises, at least 5 scam attempts, lost revenue due to his inept leadership, constant demands for isk and blue on blue incidents. If you want more details contact me in game.
B0rN2KiLL DEATHFUNK Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2010.05.26 11:38:00 - [47] You're terrible, **e, and as annoying as the spammers themselves. now stop being a . --- Originally by:** Oveur It's important to understand that EVE is a "PvP" focused game
Cpt Branko Retired Pirate Club	Posted - 2010.05.27 09:33:00 - [48] Edited by: Cpt Branko on 27/05/2010 09:33:32 This is a scam actually. Sig removed, inappropriate link. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] ~Saint
