Any corporation or alliance that want's me to pay them to join them or to hand over ISK as collateral, just incase, is either too weak anyways or just a scammer.
In both cases don't join.

Dear Maxx86,
Greetings from my country, Gallente. And by God's grace this is a warm embrace of a lifetime and mutually beneficial relationship between us, hence my writing you.
Dr. Dunbar Hulan is my name. Special Adviser on Ice Mining to the Gallente Head of State and presently, Chairman of the Contract Review Panel (C.R.P) appointed by the Gallente administration, with the mandate to re-evaluate, scrutinize, approve and recommend for payment all previously awarded and executed contracts for the Ice Mining Fund (I. M..F).I want to award you exclusive ice mining rights in Gallente.
You were introduced to me by a trusted contact in the Gallente Ministry of Foreign Trade Mission to act fast by helping me and my colleagues by transfering the sum of 25.5M ISK (Twenty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand ISK to us. You must treat this letter with utmost confidentiality and trust. We cannot afford to toy with this rare opportunity of a lifetime. It may interest you to know that this is no Scam or fairy tale.
we urgently need your assistance to send this isk to us.
Dear brother, all modalities for the successful transfer of this fund including legal and administrative requirements in Gallente as well as that of Inter Faction Arbitration has been worked out. We hope to conclude this transaction within ten (10) days once you open communication with me to furnish me your willingness needed for easy transfer of the fund:
God willing brother, we can work out this transaction fast for all of us.
I expect the goons to start this sort of thing soon :)

The rule is unenforceable.
What is a "recruitment scam" compared to a normal scam?
How long after posting "looking for corp" in the recruitment channel is someone immune from various forms of scamming?
Is demanding a security deposit always scamming now?
Is keeping the stuff of an attempted infiltrator "scamming"?
The GM who is trying to push this should be fired because it makes their enforcement look incompetent and it gives a false impression of security. These are fundamental failures to perform his job, and show a worrying lack of judgment and forethought. A simple warning should be plenty, as with all scams and tricks that mostly newbies fall for. If people refuse to read or follow the warnings, then they do so at their own risk.
Trying to enforce an unenforceable rule just makes authorities look incompetent and impotent. |

That would imply he would be in corp. That's a serious SPAI/awoxer risk right there.

In the short time I have been playing this game I've been jacked up several times(pvp) and had a lot of dumb stuff happen to me. Crap happens, oh well. There's plenty of times I'd have loved more than anything to bash my monitor in. That's the life of EVE. I came here from WoW to get away from the nanny system. Scams are a part of this game and it saddens me to see that CCP is deciding to go the way of Blizzard(btw WoW has pretty much been completely destroyed as a game). To OP, dude sorry what happened to you but that's the life of EVE and you're even warned about it in the rules when you first sign up, man. I'm not here to bash on you man but next time you might want to be more careful. I think everybody's had some dumb crap happen to them. I'd implore CCP NOT to set rules against scamming since that's what makes EVE different from any other MMORPG. |

Players have asked..."Why join the Goons?" Read this:
When asked the following questions to a member of a Nullsec alliance about life in Nullsec "How about building a really awesome sandcastle and taking a few photographs before it gets swept away by the waves?" The response was "YOU don't own squat in Zero Farm. YOU are a DOG in a PACK, so YOU don't build squat." and "whatever your CORP builds will likely get swept away" during conflict "unless your PACK is larger than the neighboring animals. That somehow seems pointless on both counts, because YOU haven't really accomplish anything." Another answer "As for rewards? Unless you are blue to the serf squads guarding their "massahs" moongoo, what rewards are we talking about here? A ship replacement in return for guard duty? WOWEE! GEE! How thrilling. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....snore." when asked about "...sources of income that enable you to replace your losses - missions, exploration, CAs, plain ratting, mining sites, markets waiting to be tapped, ..." the answer "This is a fallacy since you won't have time to tap them while doing your "guard duty" for the Man. Besides, you're there for PvP, right? and the Man will require you be doing just that or you're out."
The paragraph above goes a long way toward explaining why Nullsec is not attractive for all players. Some players like to build, trade, mine, rat, explore. They want to own a POS or two and a few planet operations. There are missions, storyline missions and factional warfare. And dipping into Lowsec for some excitement and some PvP is ok too. At least they have control over their destiny. As it stands today, if you are not blue to somebody strong in Nullsec, you are dead. So what is the point?

Dear OP, I understand your sorrow and desire. When you want something badly, you should stick with it and be persistent.
So, if you transfer them all you have, maybe some mercifull soul will grant you entry in Goons.
Please, post future development.
Be well all of you.

Hi Tickles, nice hoodie!
Oh and people need to start doing research on joining a corp.
CCP could always recommend that in big bold letters.
I'm betting Goonwaffe scam income would actually go up. It's like the warnings on the cigarette packs.
