Krank Jordon Caldari Provisions Caldari State 0	Posted - 2013.01.12 23:05:00 - [1] - Quote out of 2.4 billion in assets by the corp Gangnam style, I applied to the corp, wass accepted and my recruiter said he'd ship my things down to null sec for me , since I had an orca, hulk and a BPO among several fittings, thinking I could trust my new corpmate I courier contracted the assets to him, worth around 2.4 billion, and the next morning I was kicked from the corp, so in short I'm left with 5 mil isk roughly, what should I do now to get back on track after losing 8 months of progress?

Except they want a 'security' deposit, as well as 2.6 bil in assets Anyone asking for any kind of deposit like that is usually a scam. If you ever need to give anything to anyone ask yourself this: Would I care if I didn't get it back? If the answer to the above is 'yes' then just don't give it to them in the first place and find something else to do in EVE. The bottom line is that now I have one of those annoying signatures.

You could recover your losses from this in a fraction of the time if you find a 0.0 industry corp which is recruiting. They're rare, like the elusive yeti, but do exist.

Simetraz State War Academy Caldari State 765	Posted - 2013.01.12 23:25:00 - [14] - Quote IT has been said more times on these forums then I care to count. And it will be said once again. Never fly what you can't afford to lose. Never bring all your assets to Null. EVERYBODY KNOWS

Except they want a 'security' deposit, as well as 2.6 bil in assets you got fooled right there. any corp truly looking for members doesn't want any "security deposits". think of this as a lesson for your life on EVE. altho a 2.4bil lesson might be a wee bit expensive...

mechtech Ice Liberation Army 217	Posted - 2013.01.12 23:37:00 - [16] - Quote Just pick up the pieces and start again, it happens. (I've been there) The knowledge you have gained about the game is far more valuable than the 2.6 bil you lost, it won't take you anywhere near 8 months to regain that.
Arronicus Vintas Industries Mistakes Were Made. 48	Posted - 2013.01.12 23:42:00 - [17] - Quote If the person isn't highly reputable, require a collateral in the contract. What do you do from here? Learn your lesson. Don't trust people with all your stuff, that you can't visit in RL and break their legs. Or have known for a long time, preferably before you started playing eve. Work up from the ground. It will be a lot easier this time, since you have some skills trained at least. My reccomendation? Salvage for people. make enough to buy a ratting ship, then mission, or join a 0.0 alliance and run anoms solo or with someone else. You'll make the money back in full fairly quickly.
Skorpynekomimi 361	Posted - 2013.01.12 23:47:00 - [18] - Quote The first rule of nullsec is that anything you take there is already lost. Still, you have 5mil ISK. Play market games, or buy a Venture, some cheap lasers, and go mine for a while. Or a frigate and run missions. Or a cheap BPO, some minerals, and make ammo.

This. Assuming OP isn't trolling, of course... these stories are unbelievable, as I find it hard to believe so many people are this gullible. "Blow it all on Quafe and strippers." -á --- Sorlac

This is what they did to you: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Scams_in_Eve#Recruitment_Scams This is probaly what you are trying to do: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Scams_in_Eve#Begging Also this is why people stay in NPC corps. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby"
