Op look at this from other perspective, you lose only some isk, you dont lose SP or general knowledge about game, some people lose two tech 3 cruisers on pvp very month, they never give up.
Another example Noob ship
Most Expensive Kills look at this site, look at these capitals and pods... it happens every day. EvE isn't game, its style of living. |

They didnt ask for the security until I was kicked, of course I know its a scam now, I thought he was just being helpful considering it'd be hard to get an orca AND hulk 30 jumps through null,. |

Fortunately you don't have to go around with such a ridiculous corp name now, which is almost worth the isk

I agree: nothing really scammy about this. OP just (allegedly) willingly gave all his money to the new age guru he found advertised on a pack of matches at a local bar. There's really no scamming involved in stupidity at all. "Blow it all on Quafe and strippers." -á --- Sorlac |

Never fly what you can't afford to lose. Never bring all your assets to Null.
You should add 2 more
Never give something to someone else with collateral for any reason
Dont trust anyone fully

I feel for you, I was recently relieved of 200 billion by a RL GÇÿfriendGÇÖ that has been playing this game with me for 3 years, through thick and thin he was there, defending me, and I defending him. Over the holidays he absconded with literally everything he could contract to himself, canceled market orders to raid the wallet, and reprocessed anything he couldnGÇÖt sell instantly so he could sell it for the mineral value. I learned all this through his API in EVE-HQ while sitting in a coffee shop on holiday.
The lesson? Never trust anyone with all you own, no matter how sure of them you are, remember there is always a number that will make the betrayal worth it. Just do what you did to make it the first time, knowing the mistakes you made should make this time easier.

See I was trying to think of a way to say the same thing to the guy without coming across in the "you should have known better" manner.
Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or be singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator. |

If any corp asks for anything to join, tell them to go **** themselves, and tell everyone their corp is a scam. No legitimate corp would ask for a single isk, anyone says otherwise is apart of the scammers themselves.
If you join a new corp, NEVER fly anything expensive with them. No Battleship, marauder, ETC... just T1 BC and down. If Indy, just T1 mining ships/transports.
Maybe after a few weeks/months you could fly a BS without anything but T1/T2 equipment.
This is the only game I've seen that can take advantage of new people (regardless what ccp says) or people that played alone majority of there eve career looking for companionship.
Dont trust anyone....even if they say you can....
This is the most valuable advice anyone can give you. Sorry for your expensive lesson in eve ripoff mechanics.
Trust is earned, not assumed or given. |

Will just leave an advice.
Dont move anything in the future, liquidate all assets possible and move with ISK. Isk is mobility, and ocuppy 0 cargohold plus cant be looted.
Move your assets by yourself latter, buy a interdiction nullified cloacking something, a bomber, etc, and move your things in off peak hours and possibly with an alt scouting forward.
As they say, dont fly what you cant afford to lose. Extend it to dont give assets you cant afford to lose :)
When I moved to null i did as a poor bastard flying a myrmidon. All my other possessions were converted to isk. ~ 10.058 ~

cannot give the +1 because, goons, but thats great advice. if you have not already, train some trade skills and put everything up on the market, undercut the .01 iskers because its funny, and because if it doesn't sell overnight, 50 days later you'll notice a sudden bonanza hit your wallet and your like "oh shii" *checks journal* "that finally sold? coooooooo"

you should always be prepared to turn around and stick a knife in the through.
Once upon a time, I tried to get into a corp, I was asked for ISK up front, 600M to be exact.
I publicly humiliated this person, to the point of where he was adding people to red watch list in recruiting channel.
I then had the nuts to ask him for 2.5B isk to teach him how to scam properly and point out all of his mistakes, He just logged, leaving an almost full bucket of tears for me.
Point is, to make it here, you have to LEARN to be a wolf.

Keep in mind that if you are not naturally a douche you will never be as good at it as people that are.
And good luck beating them at their own game. That is sucker play.
And to the people that say 2.4 billion is worth the lesson learned, send me $70 USD and feel content. This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.
