I made a post on this form a while back and was offered a position in GoonWaffe if I placed a 500m deposit. I realize I was nieve and stupid, but for some reason I found it hard to believe that a member of a corp that is not supposed to engage in scamming would approach me. I was wrong.
It seems that this corporation does not condemn scamming, because the money that I gave went to an office belonging to GoonWaffe. At the very least the member of this corporation that set up the scam (Manbeef Largeyams) was using corp property to execute it.
I would advise everyone to beware of this corporation, and definitely don't give out money to them.

Also, try looking here next time, nubcake, especially the bit where it says:

Doing the slightest bit of cursory research into a corp you're planning to join is usually a good idea, bucko.

One of the staples of EVE is people like you, from time to time, posting here about how they got scammed out of 500 million. This is EVE lore now. It is expected behavior.
The fact that you post here does not mean that the Goons are going to mend their ways. Your posting here gives the Goons the prize to dwarf all prizes, you are their very reason for being. You give them what they crave more than aught else in this universe: carebear tears. N00b tears to Goonswarm are like the very zest of life, it is the nurturing balm that stills the callouses of their souls.
You paid the standard 500 million ISK tax for being a n00b. Nobody is going to cry for you, there will be no justice.
To any other newbies reading this:
1) Goonswarm does not recruit in the game. 2) There is a very finely tuned instrument, a sure fire way to know whether or not a Goonswarm member is trying to scam you: they're interacting with you in any way shape or form. That's your giveaway.
You were sent out asking for the key to the exercise yard, Kirbana, you were initiated in the grand old tradition. Stop complaining, pick yourself up and carry on.
Welcome to EVE.
/How do they always manage to get a half billion ISK out of these people, I don't know but damn those guys are good.
For good to survive it suffices for evil to acquire a deadly, incapacitating disease. |

First, this is a common scam the Goons pull.
Second, I underlined and bolded the assumption you made which hurt you. There is no corp nor alliance that has a firm policy on scamming. Their policy will always break when the price is right. ________ 45 minutes & 720 clicks per six hours. 3 hours & 2,880 clicks per day. 21 hours & 20,160 clicks per week. 4 days & 89,280 clicks per month.

I am shocked and appalled. I cannot believe that such an illustrious corporation like GoonWaffe would attempt such a foul act of cowardice on people. Manbeef Largeyams must attest to his wrongdoings, or forever sully the glorious reputation of such an amazing and shining example of good-spirited men and women that is GoonWaffe.

Goons tried to recruit me and made the position sound pretty fantastic. Had me sold up until the recruiter asked for a 500 mil security deposit. I lol'd and left. But if he would've said 50mil I might've done it.

This and you also need to participate on the forums, if you just paid 10 bucks (the SA forum fee) and waited for 3 months just to join Goons in EVE I'd feel sad for you tbh.

Why would you pay to post on the non-anon version of 4chan? SA has had some good moments over the years but those forums are a complete cesspool of failed trolls who say stuff like "LOL" irl. The fact that some guy is making money off of those idiots is hilarious, yet sad at the same time.

To the OP's point and adding to my knowledge if I were to meet a goonswarm person and since I would know if I am blue or not to them and I know I'm not I would either try to kill him or run and dock or cloak Goonswarm does not 'play' this game for what normal people would call fun they 'play' to shoot people and will go to any length to achieve this
also, they only recruit though the SA forums to try and eliminate the absolute scourge of this game, spiez and spiez alts. If you were to enroll in the SA forums, THEY KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN RL!!! that and they can just permaban you from their forums.
this is one of the few surefire ways to actually keep them out...
on that topic THERE ISN'T ENOUGH RISK IN THIS GAME!!!! *looks at disposable backstabbing spy alts*

Usually I don't respond to when someone gets scammed by Goonfleet. But the existence of that scamming site gsauth is something new and interesting.
Apparently Goonfleet has institutionalized recruitment scamming, even to the point that there is a corp that scammees are told to send money too, and get authenticated via API calls which poll the scam corp's wallet. The money even goes to the corp and (Presumably) is sent to the scammer by a teller of some kind. I'm also assuming that the scammee is given an authentication number to check on his or her 'application' status. This is crazy to me, I've never seen anything like it outside of Eve Banking.
Obligatory posting of the links If you gave isk to join GoonWaffe then you were scammed and you're **** out of luck. Also GoonWaffe does not openly recruit. If you paid money in game or transfered assets to somebody in game on the promise that they would get you into GoonWaffe or GoonSwarm in general, you were scammed. Do not complete this registration, you will not get into the alliance, no matter how much the person you just contacted in-game right now about this message assures you that you will.
