Let me first start off by saying I know I messed up and I am stupid for doing X and trusting them. But hey you live and learn and that's part of EVE and there's always tomorrow.
Goonswarm recruiting to kill there new members and take some of there stuff???
So today I was looking for a Corp which was in null, and that I can help support with my 8 accounts being a huge industry guy and all. A couple days ago I was invited by Lyeni of Outer World Industries [-OWI-] in Goonswarm Federation. Made it sound interesting in joining, was really just wanting to get into a corp with a settled Null system and continue playing the game and make billions a day again. However that was not the case with this story. Instead they had me pack up some things send over X via contract to haul over and the rest I packed into my jump freighter and jumped out. Then I was tackled and killed and podded, they wanted me to eject ( lols ) I didn't. My total lose at the end of the day roughly 4b. Yes that is a good amount of money, and well I guess I was not cool enough for the Goons of EVE, it means little. Could I have prevented it? maybe if I wasn't so trustworthy idk?
Just thought I should share my story for the day for all to laugh at, or learn from or whatever you want. Life goes on and I will make my isk lose back in acouple days doesn't really matter when you have 8 accounts, just a shame I couldn't join.

Yeah, you could have prevented it. When someone asks you to contract over all the stuff you own - don't. |

Replace "all stuff" with "stuff of high value" - same thing, you get my drift. Trusting is fine - but not that trusting. |

Page works just fine - the part of that page that applies here is in bold red text and is something like:
If you gave isk to join GoonWaffe then you were scammed and you're **** out of luck.

Goonswarm recruitment scam...
If its not the oldest trick in the book, its close personal friend of the oldest.
Homework, google, 90% of the pilots in Eve, Goons themselves, asking in local, could of enlightened you to this scam...
There is no such thing as a fair fight...
If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage. |

Lies, libel, and not the least bit of treachery by the creator of this thread. OP was a spy and was treated as such. Don't trust him. After attempting to dissolve The Glorious Socialist Goon Soviet, he is now trying feebly to damage our stellar reputation. Having his possessions taken and his ship destroyed was the least we could do to repay his nefarious actions.
CCP mostly sucks at their job, but Veritas is a pretty cool dude. |

Learned your lesson I suppose.
Goons are the kind of people that will never amount to anything in their real life so they have to pretend like their badass in a video game. In other words, the scum of the Earth (and New Eden). |

It's not as if there aren't a half dozen Goonswarm corps that do openly recruit from the general EVE community. People just see the biggest one and go "oooh shiny" without bothering to check anything.
No, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhh. |

Join one of the N3 corps. They are better, and need pilots / tax income more.
No difference whatsoever for a guy like you I think. Null is null, who cares under what banner it is at this moment. |

I just don't get how people fall for this kind of stuff. You don't seem particularly dumb. (other than giving all your **** to goons  )
Aside from the fact that their very corp name announces their intentions, a quick google search reveals somewhere in the neighbourhood of 18 million tear filled posts from people just like you who got their wallets ganked by our beloved goonswarm.
How did you fall for this? This is a serious question.

Well idk I'm not exactly a veteran or by any means experienced in eve outside Highsec. Also it really wasn't much to lose for me. I have 8 accounts, 4 miners, 1 orca pilot, 1 freighter pilot, 2 pve toons, all of which have maxed P.I. skills and I can make 1-3B in a day so its not even a setback just a lesson learned. I was trying to get escape highsec but I guess Im not ready, gotta research some more. Live and learn I will still continue to play the game till the end. |

Really?
Thats surprising. Eve Who says 283 Corps and 11,187 members at the moment. Even if they all had the same number of members each, that's still 39 members per Corp.
Goonwaffe seems to have 2,807:

Technically you could have just as well put collateral on a courier contract instead of self-haul. If anyone asks do you not trust me I'd be happy to inform them that indeed, I do not, and collateral shouldn't be a problem since my stuff is being handled by an experienced JF pilot and there are two rewards to it: one on the contract and your 8 characters getting their jumpstart in a new area, doing stuff for the alliance. At 4b collateral the JF pilot would look at at least a nice reward for his efforts, at least I always take into account the player actually moving has invested SP and time into his activities, and wants to make some ISK off that investment.
4b is a lot of collateral to cover though. Regardless, you should be able to negotiate honest and safe terms with a JF pilot carrying your valued assets, or it would be wise to not take him seriously and be wary of his "services". |

yes thankyou for providing this information. i have learned a lot today. in retrospect, it seems rather obvious that the largest corporation in goonswarm federation would have more than six members. a little too obvious. |
