If it's too good to be true, it's scam.

Probably just shouldn't send isk to 'isk doubler's'

Last days i see lots of similar posts in local chats everywhere.

Send 1 isk to test my API.
====================

Tried to send 1.23ISK - for some journals i see it in history, for some - don't.
Site "API reader" doesn't allow easy registration so it looks very suspicious.

Just curious: where is the catch here? Looks like there is some filter by (something) in these "API journals". But if you don't see your donation you won't send more. Would anyone shed a light to this?

I wouldnt even go into trying to expose Erotica 1 if I were you, You will be prooved wrong many a time, Erotica 1 only truely legit isk doubler!

Tomorrow...

API information does not update instantly. It is cached on CCP's side to reduce the load on the servers. So, if you do want to try to play their games, give them the benefit of the doubt and wait a while (I think the wallet API data is cached for an hour).

Good scams are like a magic trick. You know the magician isn't really using magic, but it's fun to guess how they do it. This scam is similar.

My theory:

the incoming isk transactions are real, so when you send 1 isk you see it pop up.

The outgoing isk transactions are all fake.

I don't know the details but this is the one where he requires set amounts of isk to double triple or whatever? He either sets all of those to high amounts so you can't test if he actually pays, or he's set up a small amount that he does actually pay to coax you into then giving the high amount, which he does not.

Not even like worthy, you must be new here.

Im not complaning about this, but yes i paid him 50m to see what would happen.

Ok here is the wierd part, i never got the money yet his wallet said he did. I cannot figure out how he did it.

This is a very good scam, and I love a mystery. Anyone have any idea's?

You assume the website he links to is legit.

I think its a safe assumption...

Do not bad-mouth the good name of Erotica 1, she is EVE's only true ISK doubler, she doubled my ISK.

If it's too good to be true, it's Eve.

Hey now, Erotica 1 is way legit. True story.

Now, you might think I'm being paranoid, but there is an awful lot of scammers pasting this exact same text. If you were harvesting for account details, you'd cast as wide a net as possible. Most likely is just unimaginative bandwagon hoppers, but if it isn't already, it's only a matter of time before somebody is using this to direct you to malicious websites.

All sorts of dangerous stuff can happen to you. At best you'll lose your ISK to a scam. Worst, you'll be losing your account.

Don't visit strange links (they don't have candy or puppies)

So between mining I had some fun and (hopefully) saved a few people.

If there ever would be a LEGIT isk doubler, he/she would publish his/her full api-key.

And it would be even more transparent, if the donater would actually GIVE you ISK without any stupid doubling.

Have to give Erotica1 some props, he really tries hard (but fails).
Unfortunately 90% of people are dead stupid.

Yes and nullsec is a safe place for carebears.....true story

That's not a real API site. As in public api site. It's the scammers own site. Try ask them to allow you to use the real API info and you will be blocked, was even an article in PC Gamer on this scammer I think.

The worst part about this scam isn't the fact that it's an obvious scam, it's the fact that it's spambots spamming it and CCP couldn't care less.

Same person multiple bots in major tradehubs.

Holy crap, how many alts do you have, Erotica1? At least you didn't name them Erotica2, Erotica3, and so on. ISK doublers will always be scams. I have had a couple people send me ISK, but the most I had to give them was a thank you. There are decent people in this game, and none of them require you to put a down payment on their generosity.

I paid 200 mill - to see what would happen and nothing - 200 mill isk less and a fake entry saying he has paid me 2.2 billion isk.

You either haven't tried it, or you failed at it.

She's legit. And I am no alt.

What you fail to understand is, it's a test. A test that some people fail.

she doubled my ISK.

For example: Erotica 1 use "i don't see your transaction because some troll trolled me bu hundreds of 0.01ISK transactions. Send it again...".

Amazing how the OP asks about a doubler and my name comes up more than anyone else in a positive light.

Just more proof that I am truly Eve's honest isk doubler. Notice how all the naysayers have never actually played my game.
