So yeah, reactivated my account a couple days ago and was looking for a corp in order to get back out into 0.0. Well, I fell for the most ridiculous scam ever.
pmchem initiated a convo with me, asked some questions and requested an API, the usual stuff. Thinking that I got in after he said everything looked good, I filled out the app and then i followed some instructions.
He asked for a deposit of 200mil isk as collateral in case I was indeed a spy and planned to sabotage fleets, etc. Since I only had 126mil isk, I gave 100mil and my domi as collateral as he said I will get it all back in 10 days if nothing happened to ships with me involved (That right there should have been the obvious clue, but no I was too excited that I was back into EVE and 0.0 space)
THEN, he said to contract him any ships/items that I wanted to get out to 0.0 and he'll assign one of the jump freighters to pick up my stuff and bring it back to the 0.0 station with out me losing the stuff to pirates on the way.
Next day I had an in-game mail that said this:

From: Cap II Sent: 2010.05.19 05:13 To: Saturos Ex,
If you're reading this its because i've rejected your applications. This means you've probably ****ed something up.
Please read this https://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=Joining_Goonfleet and ensure that you have followed the process exactly. If you feel that you are a special snowflake then get in touch with me.
If you are naturalized or an otherwise special case please put your forums name and your situation, such as being naturalized in the app field.
ALSO TURN OFF YOUR CSPA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY
You have failed to fill out GSOAR correctly.
Obviously it was a scam, and my ignorant self fell for it. So anyone that is looking for a corp and gets a convo from pmchem or anyone from GoonWaffe, ignore them.
I was left with 26mil, an Iteron III and an Ishkur. Luckily I had enough assets laying around to scrounge up some isk to buy a BC. Also within that email I got from GoonWaffe, there is a link that directed me to the process of applying for GoonWaffe/GoonFleet. It explains the type of people they are...
https://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=Joining_Goonfleet
Quote: If you gave isk to join GoonWaffe then you were scammed and you're **** out of luck.
Also, I did not know that GoonSwarm collapsed until after I got scammed.

Goons have been doing this scam forever. Sorry mate, but if you watch the forums this has happened many times before. Goons will never go away, you can only scatter them for a bit but they always congeal in some new form. Just be more careful. This is a legitimate game mechanic.

Yeah I know it's legitimate, not whining about it, just ****ed off at myself for falling for it heh. Just reminding others I guess. |

Are you calling us thick? Most people don't need a heads up for this obvious crap. Those that do are unlikely to actually read this message.
Thanks for the laugh though  ~_~ (Retired from ship toasting. Now a professional.)

Holy crap, you didn't have to send me all that ISK! I just fitted my Myrmidon for L3's and was expecting to recover pretty quick, but thanks a ton! Nice to see some decent people still fly lol.

Well, if someone is in need, I've been known in previous games to help them out. I've been on the receiving end of scams, and I know how it can suck. As-is, I'm not playing for another week (when I can start using my stealth bomber) so I don't see myself using it. :)

I did fall for this same scam as well.
What normally happen is, that they ask for your limited API first, so they see how much isk you have in your wallet. Then they ask for roughly 1/2 of it, so that you may actually fall for it easier.
Normally, ppl wont fall for it if they asked for their full wallet, but 1/2 of their wallet....well, some ppl may take the risk.

My Mummy stated the world was a mean and harsh place, I could be attacked in a heart beat and just setting outside of my house could have bad issues. My Mum was a crazy person who distrusted the world. Thanks to her raising me I am the same, so I fit perfectly in to eve, Never trust anyone

If the game allows ambulation, I wonder how often we will have stories about pilots being lured into Goon bars, only to wake up in a bathtub full of ice and a note telling them their kidneys were removed.

I don't know what you all are smoking, I apped a month ago with the same procedure, got in, and then got all my stuff back. You were probably just a really bad spy (I just reactivated my account yeah, I believe that).

You can keep the deposite m8, 100million is a relatively cheap price to pay for a lesson named "do not give money to someone who promises to give it back".

Who's GoonWaffle?
I've heard of Goonswarm and Goonfleet, but never GoonWaffle.
Are they bunch of poorly done imitators like Endemic Legion to the Pandemic Legion?
The only thing that comes to mind are EggoWaffles.
