Edited by: Professor Rigby on 22/10/2006 06:48:55 YOU WANT EASY ISK? Of course you do, everyone does. Scamming has long been one of the most profitable and romanticized isk-making careers in EVE. No hoping and praying for faction spawns, no mindnumbing staring at roids of crokite or whatever for hours on end. Ask yourself, why aren't you out there, scamming, right now? Morals? Hell, you blow people up, this is a video game. What's theft to murder? You just don't know where to start. And that's why you need to evemail me, for a spot in a class at the Rigby Academy of Scamming! Classes will be weekly and two hours long - detailed explanations and clarifications of the underlying psychological aspects of humanity that let some of the least-known scams work! Class sizes are small, with an optimal size and formal limit of 20 pupils in one session (if you want to get in a session that is otherwise booked, grease the wheels wink wink nudge nudge) Classes are cheap! At 10m ISK per two hour lesson, can you afford not to drop that tiny amount for the potential to make billions? One lesson is often enough to set pupils well on their way to a long and successful scamming career, comfortably able to live on their ill-gotten ISK without ever shooting a rat!
But Professor, I hear you thinking, I don't want to be a mid-scale scammer! I want to scam hundreds of billions! We can't all be Istvaans or Dentara Rasts (incidentally, I have been involved in major scams beforebut like hell I'll be telling anyone about that) The market for billions-at-once scamming is pretty saturated, but skillful and controlled mid-scale scamming can pull in a billion in a few days, easily. There are more worries, though, there always are. I'm sure you're wondering, how do you can tell if these lessons are common sense things not worth your money, or silly things like escrow scams? Lessons for beginners will always open with the five basic rules of scamming, functions of human thought that will let you make metric tonnes of ISK, and focus on personally tried and proven true methods that are perfect for someone looking to make some scratch on the side. I used to do this just for alliance-mates, and one of them, after two lessons only, going on two of the rules and some innovation of his own, successfully scammed two billion in liquid ISK withintwelve minutes of making an alt to do it and half an hour of thinking of the plan. That could be sitting in your wallet!
Questions, comments, interest, flames? Eve-mail me!
CLASS FOR THE WEEK OF 27/10/06 Slot 1 - Slot 2 - Slot 3 - Slot 4 - Slot 5 - Slot 6 - Slot 7 - Slot 8 - Slot 9 - Slot 10 - Slot 11 - Slot 12 - Slot 13 - Slot 14 - Slot 15 - Slot 16 - Slot 17 - Slot 18 - Slot 19 - Slot 20 - Lessons will always be on a Friday night from 00:00 to 02:00 EVE time (8pm to 10pm EDT)
If you are interested in a private lesson or an earlier lesson, eve-mail me and we can set something up. Expect to pay more.
This character is, obviously, an alt. I'm a fairly small-to-medium scale scammer, and I want to protect my main's name.
That's a copy paste of my bio, here's something for the forums only. First of all, if you don't believe me, fine, don't believe me. It's (probably) your loss, unless you already know stuff like this. Second, if you're wondering why I'm doing this, it's because hearing about people three months in the game who haven't ever made more than 30m ****es me off, and I'm hoping to give them a low-capital, clever way to catch up with the rest of the world. The 10m is just to stop having classes of any jackass that wanders by. Third, if you came here to troll this thread or flame me, save yourself the trouble. EVE-mail me, because I won't even be reading this except to bump it when I need to and update the scheduling. All scheduling of lessons and asking of questions is to be done through EVE-mail alone. edit: formatting ___________________________________________ If you're reading this post you're in a thread of mine.

Sounds like a neat class, but I have to somewhat agree w/ this person. How do we know that this is not a scam? :s

One last post before I go to bed.
There's a certain amount of trust involved in anything in this game, trust in your gang-mates, trust in your fittings, trust in your business partners. There is obviously no way at all that I can prove to you this is legit, and asking that question is silly because you know that's all I can answer with. ___________________________________________ If you're reading this post you're in a thread of mine.

Thank you for including a slot list, which I'm hoping you'll fill with the names of the class attendees. Those will copy right over to my "never buy from these people" list.

And the first lesson has already been given free of charge. Just copy and paste the OP into your own thread.
This OP reminds me of the damn net news articles to send ten dollars and add your name to the top of the list and forward it on.
Please list your attendees, if you get a single one, in your slots.
If you truly scammed someone of billions as you claim, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near you.

What I want, actually, is for people to start:
1: examining the items on escrow
2: selecting "show info" on the items in escrow
3: reading all of the information *carefully*, to ensure that re-namable items (ships esp.) are not being sold as something they are not.
4: running a search on the character selling the item and checking details such as date of birth and employment history.
and
5: Remembering that when something seems to good to be true, it almost always is.
So we can all stop:
1. Listening to people that should have done all of the above complain when they get scammed. 2. Dealing with the lag in the escrow system from the thousands of bogus offers.
and
3. Having to sift through a half dozen of those previously mentioned bogus offers so we can buy what we were looking for to begin with.
While the OP may have stopped reading, I'm hoping everyone that views this thread sees some of the easiest ways to avoid being ripped off by scam artists like this one. Most experienced players already know how to avoid scams, but many have paid for that experience in ISK.

You mean you want people to stop being morons? Good luck with that.
You know, I saw the most hillarious escrow scam the other day. 150m trit for 150m isk - labelled, even, with instructions to 'check plz'.
Naturally, it was 1 trit for 150m isk.
20 ISK says some moron will buy it anyway. :P

Scamming in general requires keen social skills, for ex. the ability to have CEO's and Directors eating from the palm of your hand within a few months, charming your way into their BPO hangar. Being the light of the party on Teamspeak - Things like this is what made GHSC famous.
The fact is no course, no guide or person can teach how to scam on that level. You need to make people fall in love with you.. this is all to do with real life social skills and little to do with game mechanics.

This post made me lol. Scamming classes?
First off, you can never teach someone to scam, it takes thought to do a good one, plus there are many types of scams, big efforts over time for a proportional reward, and resulting in crippling a corp/alliance etc.
Or smaller scams geared towards gettign money fast.
Plus, this is obviously a scam in its own right, considering you spent more time yelling at the alternatives(ratting, mining) than actually making people want to take your class.
And scamming is easy anyways, if you cant do it your an idiot.
...although you probably could've just done a barrel roll. ***

for those wondering what scam he's going to teach you, i can tell you for free - it is staring you all in the face.
"send your name and 10million isk to me, a confessed scammer, and i'll tell you a great scam"? sure, and what's the scam? "Run a fake class, costing participants 10 million."
you see, scammers = lamers. they don't know how to play the game, many don't LIKE playing the game, but the accumulation of wealth via scams makes them feel good. you get all kinds of jerks in online games, some of whom do turn out to be nice people in real life (but they just can't interact with people over the internet without having to consult their over inflated egos first). scammers though, well i've known a few, and you know, at the end of the day, they're just ****s. pure and simple. I've worked on an MMO before, and i spent all day happily banning scammers, it was fun, especially when they contacted us to get their bans lifted and claimed to be innocent.
now EvE has more or less no rules, thus scammers are there and the only thing you can do to avoid them is NOT be a moron. i may not like this fellow, but i can't stop him, and to be honest, if this is the only way he feels he can progress, so be it. ========================================== Iy |

Nothing wrong with scams, since you can easily avoid them. Only thing wrong is when peopel brag about it, since in reality it's very easy to conduct a scam. ...although you probably could've just done a barrel roll. ***

Sounds to me all very clever. Best scam ever? Tell people you're a master scammer and have them pay you money to spread your wisdom. I like it!
Reminds me of a story I once heard. There was a man, and he released a book. In this book, he claimed to be the world's greatest imposter. He detailed how he had, throughout his great imposter career, pretended to be doctors, airline pilots, politicians, athletes, and all sorts of other excitingly worrying professions. The book sold a great many copies, and he was invited on all sorts of talk shows, and made a great deal of money from his publicity. The punch line? It turned out this man had done none of the things he'd claimed to do- he was just pretending to be a great imposter

Professor Rigby seems to have what it takes to be a scammer, look at how well he wrote up about his "classes". Even if this ain't a scam what can he teach you that you can't already learn for free from past scams? With a little imagination anyone could become a good scammer. I doubt anyone would go on his classes tho if any very rich person would spend 10mil to check out his Rigby's claims we could know for sure.
Patch86, do you by any chance mean Frank Abagnale? I think it's all true. Where did you see any proof he lied about what he did? _____________

The story of frank jr. abagnale was made into the hollywood movie 'catch me if you can' and its all 'based on' facts (tho certain parts in the movie are romanticized or changed in location)
And as for the original post, after you pay he will prolly message yo usaying 'make forum posts like this and earn 10M per participant! this was your first and last lesson, thanks'

I notice you didn't post this in any of the forum sections where GM's spank you if you scam. That sums it up perfectly IMO.
