It's a good way to get 100M.
But no guarantee he will actually give it to you. Ask for references and hope they're not his alts.

Can you elaborate on "is this person aura?"
Since you already paid for a month this prob won't benefit you as much. Essentially he invites you to the game for 21 day trial account and he gets a PLEX in return. He can use this PLEX to add time to his account or he can sell it on the market. In this case he sells it and gives you a cut.

I wouldn't do it. It's going to cost you another $15 and starting over (unless you want to keep two accounts running, which is not uncommon at all). You could spend $20 on a PLEX yourself and sell it for almost 500m. |

If someone refers you to the game via the buddy program, giving you a 21 day trial, if you pay to activate that account the person who referred you gets a 30 Day Pilot's License Extension (PLEX) , which is an ingame item that can be used to give more time on your account, or facilitate other account services. PLEX can also be traded for ingame money.
According to eve-central.com, the going rate for a PLEX right now is close to 480m isk. He'd probably sell the PLEX and give you a 100m isk share. If anything I'd ask for a bigger slice. You're the one who's paying for your account to be activated after all.
Start the bidding at 300m and see what he says. Accept no less than 200m.
If you just want the money then just buy some Eve time codes and convert them into PLEX which you can sell for yourself. |

so it must be a scam. i can spend 15 and get a plex or spend 15 to get anohter account and he gets the plex. this should not be happening to a new player. |

It's not a scam
44 days and $15 spent or 51 days and $15 spent
While scams with the Buddy Program are not permitted (as noted in the Terms and Conditions) scamming in pretty much everywhere else in the game is permitted.
The only barrier they have for new players is that you are not allowed to place bait cans in starter systems to get newbs to agress you. Otherwise they're fair game. The Drake is a Lie |

It seems you misunderstand. You cant buy just one plex you have to buy two at a time. (@ $35 USD for both (($17.5 USD per)) After reading some of the offers it looks as though people are offering 21 days and giving you 65-80% of the plex (upwards of 500 million now) value. So really youre only losing out on a few dollars just for paying the $20 dollars to buy the game, your first month and several hundred million isk.
Sounds like one hell of a deal to me. |

If it is a scam, and you don't get 100 Mill, he has violated the EULA and you can report him to CCP, who will ban him. (Maybe even refund your ISK, not sure on that though)
If it's legit, then he's simply trying to get a PLEX for 400 mil cheaper than current market prices, and all you'll get is another account that you have to pay an additional subscription fee for (raising your EVE game costs to 30$ a mo.) If you really need another account for whatever reason, just "buddy" yourself and get another account AND a PLEX.
Though you're new and are miles away from even considering an alt, IMHO.

There is no way to tell what new players have already subbed vs those still on trials.
Paying for buddy accounts is a pretty good deal IF you haven't already upgraded your account. If you have, buying a PLEX is a better deal for you.
BTW: I offer 85% of whatever the market hub price of a PLEX is at the time you sub. So the only thing he was doing is underpaying. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox.

Unless he wants his main account and all alts to be banned then it's probably not a scam.
Though I wouldn't take the deal. He's asking for you to start another account for 15 dollars for only 100 mil in return.
You can just pull another five bucks together and buy a plex and sell it for 500mil, a much better deal. |

I don't consider it a ripoff. If you don't know someone who can buddy invite you, it is a give and take. You get the extra buddy time + 100m, and they get a PLEX. For at least your first account that's a good way to do things. |

I may not know you but if someone calls you ugly then they don't know true beauty that is you. Those sort of people are not really worth knowing or even listening to |

if you want to survive in eve ask hip for down paymant of 50 mill, if he start to cry tell him he probably dont own 50 mill on the account that why he cant give you the ISK. That may get him to actualy get mad and send you the ISK. If you get the 50 mill log out, and keep the hait mail as souvenir. Then post on the forum you are willing to use someone buddy kay if they give you 80mill and ask for down paymant of 50% every time. Then eventualy they will post youre name in CP section and then you are made to play eve. Father O'Malley about Darius III begging for whelp: GÇ£Hows that working out for ya ?

Not really, because you can't give yourself the PLEX without using an account of your own to do the offer with. If you are to be believed, then your dad is using the system in the way it was originally intended - to reward veteran players for bringing in new players. It's a consumer loyalty reward.
Anyways, welcome to EVE. It's a dog eat dog world out here, but if you can find a group of friends whom you can trust then you can go far. Also, beware the learning cliff. |
