Scamming? In Jita? When did this start happening?

Gone try to start a thread where people can discuss the
latest scams. Tell us about you being scammed. If we all work

No, we can't.
That's not possible and you SHOULD know that.

It seems rather likely that you simply want others to do the work for you
and then reap the rewards as your own.

Actually, i have far more clue than you do and i have evidence.

Did you get scammed by an evil ISK doubler?
Well there is only one legit out there and that's me.

Your right it is a joke, my blocked list is easily over 1000.

That being said, anyone want to buy some Fresh Scams, just in, still in the wrapper, I have only got a few left and the price goes up in an hour.

Wow funny, u tought that all by yourself?

Intentions is the word you are looking for.

just follow the golden rule in eve - trust no one. stick to that rule, and jita becomes a happy place.

Don't get sucked in by the trolls OP, lots that use the forums like to post meaningless responses in peoples threads, generally that don't contribute to the subject in anyway shape or form. It's a wonder they ever bother to take the time to write a response, until you realise that its only to see you get annoyed. This meme pretty much sums up their primary aim. Best thing to do is completely ignore them, if they are not going to take the time to contribute to the thread, then they aren't worthy of acknowledgement.

People that use grammar or spelling as a counter-argument especially should be ignored. As if the entire would should conform to their specific language specifications! Getting your point across is all that is important, and those that manage to do so in a secondary language should be applauded. You're likely immediately more intelligent than they will ever be.

But as far as your original point, Jita is indeed a hive of scum and villainy. Blocking the spammers there is an unwinnable battle, considering CCPs unwillingness to deal with botters/macros and their propensity to biomass and recycle their characters to scam another day. There are many, many similar threads to yours, spreading back through history. Perhaps you could attempt to combine them, amass all the collected scams and tricks and cons into a comprehensive list? A worthy undertaking!

To prevent bein scammed in Jita or other trade hubs just close the local tab, problem solved.
altho calling out their scams give you bountys :D

Actually, i have far more clue than you do and i have evidence.

.) I can spell "you" and i don't react like a child.
.) You believe this thread will get seen/googled by all the old and new players,
but not only failed to use google yourself to realise the countless sites teaching about scams that are already online...
.) ... but also believe your thread is in any way new and original and not a copy of a copy of a copy.

Explain how you believe that we can prevent scams from happening, but in detail.


edit: And please show us your contribution to it. Opening a thread and letting others do the work doesn't really count as contribution.

The cultural diversity of Eve brings dozens of languages to the table

The cultural diversity of Eve

When im bored i sit in Jita blocking scammers in local. My task is endless

Never point to grammar to prove your point or devalue others'. The cultural diversity of Eve brings dozens of languages to the table. The fact that someone goes to the trouble to have a conversation in our language when it isn't their native tongue is significant; the least we can do is overlook grammar/syntax errors.

Nobody in Eve who is trying to advertise something to you has anything you want. This makes your job easy - just ignore them all.

So what is everyone having to eat? While I'm in Jita, I think I will enjoy a club sub with extra bacon. I'll load on the veggies and finish it off with a small stripe of yellow mustard and some vinegar and oil.

I don't care if others are trying to be funny, i'm definitely not.

What i'm trying, though, is to attack your ignorance and childish behaviour
and i am obviously succeeding.

Why do you insist on writing "you", although you know it's wrong and makes you look like an idiot?

The trade hubs are plagued with scammers and the forums are plagued with trolls.

The OP had the intent of creating more awareness to the scams and, with your first replay, you jumped down their throat with a wild assumption for no reason.

You simply make yourself look like an ******* and a child.


@OP: The trade hubs are plagued with scammers and the forums are plagued with trolls.

The only annoying thing with Jita is the never ending stream of scams in chat. The chat there is just completely useless and the 1 genuine seller in there will never get any kind of visibility. While I agree that scamming is part of the game, and you should just pay attention to what you buy, the endless stream of spam isn't.

According to the code of conduct here (link) spamming is indeed prohibited and I really hope at some point ISD or what not will take action against these players spamming the same crap every couple of seconds.

im reasonably convinced that several, most, if not all the repeat scam posters are just bots. and while i have no way of proving it, i dont know if theres any way to even have ccp investigate them.
