It seems stupid to me. I logged on last week and had an additional 630 Million in my account on top of the 2 Billion I already had. Turns out a guy I barely knew in my corp quit EVE and gave me his ISK and another 800 Million worth of ships and gear. Probably wouldn't seem suspicious though cause in the last 2 years I have bought over 100 GTC's from CCP so I always have large sums coming in that are easy to track... |

First I've ever heard of having to petition if you receive a lot of ISK.
Is it a ratio of item worth/isk paid for, or just anything over X hundred million?

If the person who sent him the ISK was already under investigation for RMT, and the door was in the process of being shut on his entire operation (including custmoers), that would explain why the action was taken.
CCP would simply see him injecting ISK into your account (presumably accidentally)along with his other paying customers.
Yeah, you should have checked out the source of the ISK with a petition.
Yeah, you probably shouldn't get overly tweaked about money you didn't earn (even through scamming) being snatched back out.

I wouldn't call the cops... however I am the type of idiot who would (and has) turned around and pointed out the error and handed back the money.
(Hey, I have a little on that in RL I try to be a good example for. Don't tell anyone I know in EVE though. )

Nobody said you have to file a petition, but it's a good idea if you want to protect yourself. If you have people that have a ton of ISK and would like to see you embarrassed/penalized zipping money to you out of the blue and then reporting you is an obnoxious way to do it.

If you have play'd since 2004, you should have more knowlege of the game to check what happened... Punching the air usually doesnt yield the results..
Some guys used to hack accounts, then log in and give everything away to ppl in local... you would see hundreds of ppl in jita get a blanket ban while gm's reversed trades and such. I was warned that any deal too good to be true would result in a ban and it's up to me to not accept overly good deals! I told them how ignorant they sounded and the petitions were just closed.
I have seen 110 mil items go for 11 bil, I have seen 50 mil items go for 50k ;P....
I am told (/no self incrimiation here/) that in the past some were allowed to keep the isk we made from isk sellers (the old escrow system made it easy to spot them moving isk around, and if you put an order up in the same station for that same item they would often claim it)... Of course, (/they/) would petition and report it, but the isk wasnt ever removed (/to my knowlege/).
Ask for an apology and when you get it, dont delete the petition. The thing they should be looking at is other orders placed around the same time that met the criteria of your order. Jita can be laggy and new orders sometimes dont get filled when they are put up, so there's a good chance that said persons order was up but not filled. |

CCP does not reverse valid market transactions, even if the market transaction was completed using bought ISK. If an ISK RMTer buys items off of the market (for a reasonably fair market price) then CCP doesn't punish the innocent.
The only time CCP reverses market transactions are for things like selling a piece of trit for several hundred million ISK.
If you receive a large volume of cash for something that you shouldn't have - petition it, ALWAYS. |

someone knows who you are and dont like you.
they then went to a cyber cafe bought 800m isk and had it transfered to you.
now you have a mark on you.. they will prolly do it a couple more times to get you perma banned. |

Like a year or more ago I had some random NPC corp dude contract me ammo and other trash with 300m attached. Denied the contract like 4 times, before I petitioned it. I just told the GMs to take the ISK away, everything was done. That little ISK wasn't even worth the risk (and I had maybe 2b ISK in assets + wallet at that time).
Was pretty obvious where the ISK was coming from...
Someone just sending you 800m isn't quite a mistake in buy orders, it's searching for your name, finding the "give isk" option, then sending you ISK. Very fishy. |

This is probably something RMTs do on purpose to create smoke and mistrust. |

Sometimes, a billion ISK can appear out of nowhere...
Once, our CEO did wormhole ops payouts and accidentally send the isk for **** ******1337 to **** ******. Luckily, CCP returned the ISK as that char had been inactive for the last 5 years.
Doubt CCP would have returned it otherwise, so you can get lucky.
I wonder how many of Jita local scams are RMT related... |
