Confirmed as Legit. I have invested about 150mil into Macht. So far he is good on his word. He gave me the 15% ontop of what I invested.

Having reviewed your site, and the extensive post history of your reference, I can only sit back in wonder at your apparent skill in investments. Obviously I am so overwhelmed with awe that I'll be transferring you all of my financial resources forthwith. No need to bother me with anything like a background check, business plan, or any such reasonable expectation. Intellectual I am not.
Thank you for this opportunity to invest in you.

No fair. I thought the cheesy half-ass website was a particularly cute touch. Seriously though, all the other scammers... errr... financial wizards use 1 post history shills... errr... customers by the dozen and try to do top notch professional looking websites. Takes a special someone to hit " fly by night" square on the head.

You are doing it wrong: Quote: Investments - Finding investors doesn't necessarily mean using the forums. There are plenty of players in game who are interested in putting their money to work through investments. For example, here's an investment website I use to attract players: http://eve.xxity.com/. The most important aspect of this scam is that the website sells itself. It appears to have had a lot of effort put into it, and because of the news posts, it also seems that it has been around for awhile.
This scam is advertised in local chat channels. A simple message with the URL is sent out. Victim's view the website, and then place investments. The sort of audience that this scam targets are the kind of players who don't even know websites like "EVE-Search" exist. They don't use the forums, and certainly don't do much research out of game.
Example - Deison's Investment Fund is a Ponzi Scheme in EVE. You can see the website here. In this case, the bulk of the work came from developing the website. It is used as the main confidence builder for potential investors. It appears as if it has had a decent amount of time invested into it. It also looks as if it has been running for quite some time. If you don't bother doing any futher research, you might just think it's legitimate. Many players do.

Interestingly enough the website provided by the OP stole the copyright notice from the eve.xxity.com. I figure this means it fails to properly attribute copyright to CCP and plagiarizes the other scam-site as well.
So I reported the site to Lycos for copyright infringement.

What exactly is it that seems like a pretty cool idea? Trading? Well...gee...that's a pretty good idea I guess, I wonder if anyone has thought of it?
And what exactly is it that makes him seem like a trustworthy guy? Is it the incredibly polished web site, the in depth business plan, or the mountain of effort put into this proposal.

The joys of language:
A tourist in the 70s took a trip through southern Sweden. One night when hauled up in a small hostel his room was next to a young German tourist. He found that the walls were quite thin and the German had returned to his room in the company of one of the young Swedish servant girls.
After some time our tourist could clearly hear the servant girl utter "SnSlla du, snSlla du" in a more and more excited voice. After a few minutes of this "SnSlla du" growing louder and louder, the German guy suddenly burst out: "Ich kann aber nicht schneller!!"
(for the clueless: "SnSlla du" can be translated to "you sweet thing" or better "oh baby!", while "schneller" in german means "faster" and "du" means "you".) |

ive talked to the guy, he seems pretty legit and to try him invested 20m, not that i wont make that up, from far. but we discussed his plan and ill find out in a month, if it works out the 15% of the 20m will be added on top of the original 20m slowly snowballing. Its not like you if you ever bought corp shares and never got paid. this is the same with no shares if it down work. but the questions i asked he seemed on lvl and will be looking forward 29th of next month

Is it me or is the sudden influx Toons entries that are not available for 3 years. Here's one, but in the end there was another in popcorn with more 4 years. Also them post stories related to toon sales.
Makes you wonder, does not it?

Why the hell is "fly by night" a wikipedia link? Are you assuming we're illiterate, or that we'll find the single sentence definition at that link to be somehow interesting and worth clicking through for?
edit: clicked link expecting interesting historical / etymological discussion of the phrase, smacked in the face with brief definition, now complaining on forums

Not everyone who reads these forums is familiar with various idioms or catch phrases. I try to be cognizant of that whenever I use words, terms, or phrases that could be particular to where I grew up, my country, and, even, somewhat unique to English language that comes from growing up in English speaking "only" communities. Additionally I occasionally use words that have fallen out of common, or even modern, usage.

Well then, by all means continue. It's neither redundant nor insulting to your audience.

Wow did someone go overboard? I didn't know that phrase before. Common verbiage and vernacular aside, phrases and euphemisms don't translate to the entire community. Hence, the original wiki link remains valid.
Thanks though.
