I know Im probably going to get smack talk for this This however was new to me, and may help out a few of the noobs....
This is a scam where they need a ISK deposit as they run security....Move your stuff for free to VFK-IV, and offer to help cyno you in.
Well obviously now, they steal your stuff and ambush you when you cyno in to VFK...

It boggles my mind thinking of why you'd ever want to join Goonswarm-- but then I'm reminded of the caliber of players that are interested in joining falling for the stupidest and most obvious scams in Eve and it all makes soo much sense...

Yep, I was waiting for that.... But honestly, Been Mostly in FW... Most 0.0 corps ever enter the equation.. Plus there is not one Corp out there that cant screw you somehow, if they really wanted to. Just as members frequently steal from corps. Trust and respect between the members, are all that can really hold a corp together.

Never trust a goon....fight them !! And never jump to a cyno you do not totally and deeply trust. And never be desperate to do anything in Eve, it's a weakness that you can't simply afford...patience is the key. And never deposit isk nowhere but from your wallet. And never trust a goon ....ops i wrote it already

Actually I did...Outside of a wikieve of them declaring war on their own recruitment corp some time back.... I could not find anything in regards to this type of scam posted... Thats why I said what the heck, I'll take the smack talk... And and make a post...
Sure its no fun posting this type of Epic fail...
It just made no sense to me why a Corp fighting wars...Would want to damage their recruiting drive. Especially since I was bringing in Capitals.
Better to lose some ships then to ever served with such insolent little children... Then to of spent one day flying with them and have your reputation forever tarnished...
Lesson learned.... I may of been nieve in trusting Milovac of Merch Industrial and Goonswarm. But I hope this post will at least come up on the searches, and damage their chances of getting new recruits...
In my opinion now, It will be a nice day when I see the VFK system Fall
I just hope I can be part of that day now

Sorry about you lose. Someone post this topic atleast once a week. Usually its the contract me your navy mega bit. Maybe you should spend more time on the forums and less time playing internet spaceships! I wish I would have known you were attempting to join the goons, I would have podded you on principle!
P.S. For a 5bil retainer I will pod every known goon, with an additional 5bil due at completion.

It's right there in big letters.
Every other month someone makes a post about being scammed by goons like this, and the obvious thing is that the people that are going to get scammed don't read the forums.
Your warning will go unheaded as will the great big red letters in the wiki entry. In consolation you can smile smugly to yourself when someone posts a similar topic in a months time, while saying, "ha noob, you didn't read my warning"

It's pretty well scripted, the isk up front is called a security deposit, and you are asked to contract stuff to a jump freighter pilot who will move it to the staging location.
Serious post: The article I linked is a little out of date as Pandemic Legion now owns the alliance name Goonswarm (it was heinously stolen). It's where our waffles hang out. If you would like some small revenge and are looking to hone your pvp skills, then put in an app for Snigwaffe. They are active killing stuff in small gangs.
Goons can't fly under the name Goonswarm anymore, so there would be a little irony if you were to get in. Put in your app "I was scammed trying to join fake goons, now I want in on the real thing" ---

So you never looked on the forums, got scammed, and decided to post a warning in that place you never looked at, in order to warn others? This has been posted many many times. There will always be people like you, EG people who don't read the forums, can't be bothered researching, then when scammed, run here to "warn others", who already know, because they read the forums. /facepalm. |

My mistake was, I input Goonswarm, and not Goonswaffe.... It brought me straight to the Evelopedia and a ton of other post. That made no mention of the scam.... After that I am not an experienced Liar, like many of the Goonswarm Federation are... So after relying on Evelopedia and a few closely related post...
The recruiters seemed nice enough, and I got gang ****d.....
I respect your post on the subject Flinx, and I will take your suggestion.... Kind of motivated now for various reasons, but will enjoy inflicting as much pain on such a group of low lifes what ever chance I get.... I have still a few carriers hanging around.

FYI....Took them over 5 minutes..... Look at the damage taken... If I would of equipped a tactical Reconfig module... Im sure they would still be shooting today.
They took me out by their POS..... And even though I am a noob at PVP, I wasn't very impressed.
Probably why they have not contributed to this thread... I made a huge mistake, not just by the recruitment scam,,, But assuming they new much about PVP.

Great Advice....
Suprised this thread is still going though.....
Just wanted to make a note its Goonswarm Federation ( I guess they are not the most organized EVE group out there about paying bills) , and not the Goonswarm now owned by Pandemic Legion.......
Kind of glad I made the post though..... Yea it sucks because of the smack... But learned quite a bit, and I was nieve... But like the most if us, just went onto to playing as usual after making the post.. *Did not realize that Goonswarm Federation had converted to Christianity, maybe they are kinder more nicer corp now...

Since Im still here I'll respond...
What hooked me, was the Capital Ship Replacement Program, and having quick access to the Major trade hubs..Since I make much of my ISK through contracts....
I now know Both of these Probably really don't exist for the Goons
Outside of that.... Was just using the carrier for transport...
Since that was my first 0.0 experience.. I am just relieved no one else had paid the price but me..
You are right there are alot of good 0.0 small gang corps out there.... I also realize my PVP skills are lacking. I'll just find a decent active PVP corp, and pay for my own ship replacemnt program after the holidays.
But yes I can admit when what I did was Stupid...It was...

You are confusing eve with second life.
Back a long long time ago there was a sim in second life called W-hat. It was were all the edgy hipsters (goons) hung out and in order to become a member you had to have a something awful forum account. Which cost you anywhere between 10-20$. Then you would have to pass a screening process to make sure you were cool enough to be in the sekret clubhouse.
When second life went bad the goons came to eve online in droves and thats around the same time I came to eve. Long before I had this alt and long before I had the capacity to run 8+ copies of eve at once.
I reluctantly admit that I do in fact have a something awful forum account, although I do not use it anymore. I was at once time a "goon" and I did participating in the building of W-hat as well as the mall. But I can't say that I was ever in goon swarm. Even when they were good they could have been so much better had they only been more like those committed goons left behind in the yiff pile of secondlife. Those were the true goons.
Meh enough of the bed time story, I have said enough.

You are confusing eve with second life.
Back a long long time ago there was a sim in second life called W-hat. It was were all the edgy hipsters (goons) hung out and in order to become a member you had to have a something awful forum account. Which cost you anywhere between 10-20$. Then you would have to pass a screening process to make sure you were cool enough to be in the sekret clubhouse.
When second life went bad the goons came to eve online in droves and thats around the same time I came to eve. Long before I had this alt and long before I had the capacity to run 8+ copies of eve at once.
I reluctantly admit that I do in fact have a something awful forum account, although I do not use it anymore. I was at once time a "goon" and I did participating in the building of W-hat as well as the mall. But I can't say that I was ever in goon swarm. Even when they were good they could have been so much better had they only been more like those committed goons left behind in the yiff pile of secondlife. Those were the true goons.
Meh enough of the bed time story, I have said enough.
Thank god you don't use the account any more, your posting is positively horrid. If only phallic objects could rain from the sky in EVE too...
I stoped posting because I went through puberty and realized that goons were a bunch of hipster kids with no real meaningful aims or goals. They are lazy and incompetent.

We are on our last legs, we are losing sov in deklien, we have no capital ships, and our posting is terrible.
And yes I spend $120 a year. It is totally worth it. I also buy the quarterly t-shirts and the mugs and shotglasses. Thats what being a goon is about.
Of course as an investment banker for a major worldwide bank, money comes easy. Paying to be in the best alliance in the game is definitely worth it, considering I spent more then that on lunch and martinis some days.

Let me leave you with a College age quote, you might appreciate.
"Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest." Benjamin Franklin
With all do respect, Stop making up stuff you can't substantiate... You may be a great, Smart, Rich, Pretty, person in RL.. But no matter who is part of the Goonswarm Federation. You are judged by your actions, and not your words..
And from my angle (unless you can Prove otherwise) the actions of the Goonswarm Federation are pretty much leading to their own undoing....

Actually No, but Thank you..... Its is well known among Goonswarm Federation... It is nothing for you not to be proud of. You guys are pretty decent at it.... It does not mean you don't have likeable people, in your alliance either.. They just play the game in a manner, I don't find fitting for my type of game play.
And even if these are not actions you practice yourself, by aquuiescing to them. You in the end approve of them.
Remember too.. It was not one man who ambushed me but 19. In addition I have actually had very pleasent conversations with many in your Alliance... Including those who now benefit from my stuff.. All pretty nice RL people.
Me A Fool yes, but for trusting strangers....
In the end the Propaganda that arose from this Rouse... I find really quite Intriguing... So keep on bumping the thread as often as you like..
But if your trying to prove that the Goonswarm Federation Pilots are the Mother Theresa's, and Einsteins of EVE.... I will be more than entertained by your efforts.
The Question I should be asking is? " Do I judge you (a single person), based on the actions of five thousand in your alliance?
Only with respect... (had to add smileys in the edit)

I get why someone might fall for paying something if they are a noob or not heard of them or whatever.
I have no clue why someone would jump to them when they have not even been accepted in corp yet.

because you arnt paying to be apart of goonswarm in eve your paying to be apart of the something awful forums. The most exlusive club on the web, an organized 4chan that you pay for. Along with you fourm access, you get to join any of the 'goonswarms' in any game where they try to win through blunt numbers.

Typical Story line.. The guy who approves the Apps is out of town or busy, but you are, A go do dock at the POS. In the meantime they peronalize themselves by talking about their kids, family, sick mother, what they are doing on the weekend etc... Things to make themselves appear more trusting and human to you in RL.
You figure they can scam and ambush you just the same, even if you are in corp....
One if The biggest mistakes you can make in this sand box...
Is assume everyone in the game thinks like yourself. Well Welcome to EVE

Originally by: Jessica Verne It boggles my mind thinking of why you'd ever want to join Goonswarm-- but then I'm reminded of the caliber of players that are interested in joining falling for the stupidest and most obvious scams in Eve and it all makes soo much sense...
Reasons why I like playing in goon guilds: Goons give very few fzuks about stuff, Goons give very few fzuks about stuff, Goons give very few fzuks about stuff, and goons laugh at people who do.
A lot of people in a lot of games try to get so "hardcore" into the game that they micromanage as many aspects of it that they can, devote untold hours of dedicated effort to it, buy into some sort of imaginary hierarchy of elitism and game-derived social status, develop emotional attachment to their pixels, and in general lose track of just relaxing and having fun with the game. Goon guilds see all of that as so much bullszit are all about doing the exact opposite. Sure there is the occasional poopsocking sperglord, without whom a guild just wouldn't function, but most of the guys and girls in a goon guild are just here (or in whichever other game) to have fun and fzuk aroundùfind stuff that's fun in the game, exploit it and take advantage of whatever mechanics allow you to get the most fun and profit out of it, and make fun of the people who get way too involved and yet still somehow manage to be less effective than a bunch of clueless idiots whose only goal is to fzuk around and enjoy themselves.
Most people don't "get" that mentality, look down on it, don't want to be part of it.

Honestly I find the recruitment scams hilarious. Every mmorpg I've played the biggest guilds/corps/alliances always get the most carebear applicants, and if they're scamming the most gullible then good for them. Not to say that goons haven't turned into a carebear alliance, but that happens to every big corp/alliance eventually so whatever.

BTW u must be on the low end of the totem pole if you THINK you have to pay to get into a corp. The most if anything is a run of your API KEY to see if ur worth a damn but even then with that you still have to be careful
