So this is an alt reporting about another alt of me that does naughty things - try to scam people for ****s, giggles, and some ISK. The formula i shall not reveal entirely but residents of the Ships channel and Jita local will know me by now. It's a scam that's a bit different from your regular one in the sense it plays on peoples greed more effectively than many previous scams, and the target audience is different, too. This is one convo i recieved today:
[ 2007.04.27 15:24:24 ] KEREAPER > Hey *Censor* seems in your contract you forgot to include the raven [ 2007.04.27 15:24:30 ] *Censor* > i did?

I have recieved numerous fanmails in the past ranging from 'Haha good lesson' to 'omfg i will kill your family'. The average age of the players that fall for these is about one and a half years - so don't accuse me of picking on poor newbies

There are a lot of scammers, and a lot of scams, and a lot of alts of alts floating around.
Jita's the lowsec of commerce in Eve, yet one more reason to completely avoid it. Been successful so far (at least since it became the new hub).

Is the Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster still in an alliance with the Great Meatballs of The Andromeda and the Grade A Cheese Consontrium?

someone was bored and wanted to stir up the forums
Found that when I was looking at your post history, just to see how many times / how often you "write on the bathroom wall" like this.
Not too often, so... either you aren't very successful, or you only post the conversations that turn out this "hilarious"?
Scamming is scummy but... meh, it's a living. Gloating about it, though - childish. Quoting your gloat on the forum - just sad. Don't take that as a flame, though - I say that because this post serves no purpose other to stroke your ego, but it has the side effect of making scamming more difficult for yourself and others. Ego over smarts, in other words - which is always sad.

And it just helps show people that scamming is a part of the universe. When accepting contracts, open the small print to see whats inside. Even a packet of peanuts, by the admission of the factories that package them :
"May contain traces of nut"
If you accept the contract when all the info is there, then congrats to whomever pulls it off. And yes, this IS my alt, I'm too lazy to flick the character switch.
