I might not agree with scamming but I cant see a valid reason for it to be banned just because i might not like it. I mean its totally within the remit of the EULA. So just shop better on the contract system i guess.

Breast and boobs are A-OK with CCP.
They're men, after all. They understand our innate need to talk about soft, squishy things.
( Tits, however, are censored.  )

Scamming was one of the reasons that got me into this game as well. Heck, I don't even scam. I never plan to either. However, the economy is very realistic, players that do decide to scam don't vanish by some supreme God. It actually makes for a more realistic world. Instead, you can punish scammers by having your friends hunt them down and repeatedly blowing them up. Someone already posted about this happening to him by an angry group of russians.
If you want to quit this game that's fully up to you but if I was in your shoes I'd take some of my friends and go hunting. I'm not going to say I'm sorry for you because your attitude is very poor. Anyone that gives up this easily might be happier elsewhere.

I knew scamming was allowed long before I even joined EVE – heck, it was one of the reasons for joining.
I joined when I read about the GHSC heist in a newspaper

Do you realize even something called WoW was not persecuting scamming for years although you had to have total trust to acquire essential parts of gear? Without contracts, without warning boxes, without market averages. Even they resisted kid whines while they still had some other customers. You demand more bear care than WoW had?
Do what you do in life. Do not trade on net with you main account (character) and make only so much money vulnerable as needed for a trade.

First of all, CCP needs to be down right punched in the face for allowing this into the game. ITS A GAME and they insist on letting this go and will no help the victims nor punish the people doing the scam. This is unacceptable, CCP MUST fix this crap, i have been playing for over 4 years and not once did i hear of scams in EVE or that the GM's dont give a rats arse about the people who fall victim to it. I was told to basically get over it. Well i throw the BS flag on the field for that. I paid MY EARNED ISK threw hours of game play and im told that theres nothing do to about it. I have left EVE for this crap and for the response I got from the GM. Maybe someone at CCP will see this and then get a damn clue thats something should be done about it.

Ok, maybe I won't pay to get it off my hands, but it's a neat little item that demonstrates what ≡v≡ is all about: even the NPC mission agents scam you by giving you completely useless, unsellable and loss-inducing items as "rewards" for all your hard work. Now, if the NPCs are that nasty, do you really expect the players to be well-behaved?

Boy I'm not sure if I should ask for your stuff, or tell you about the new game coming out from CCP based on EVE but with more of a "moderated sandbox" flavor. The cool thing about it is you are able to transfer some of your Isk from EVE over to the new game at a 50% exchange rate. I already have a character with max fighter skills so if you want me to transfer some money over for you, just follow these instructions:
1. post your new account name in this thread
2. send the amount of money you want transferred to this character, Malcolm Gerwulf
3. mail me in-game when your account is up and you'll have your money back in minutes
except forum scamming is against the EULA - in game scamming is not

I thought that mission running bit was a win, but this trumps it, hands down. This bit should be on the login screen and stickied on every forum.

Obvious troll
Eve has some really really stupid people playing, but NO ONE could possibly be stupid enough to play for four YEARS and not know that in game scams are legal.
I know many folks will disagree, but some things are simply beyond the power of human stupidity.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

One of the first things I learned probably within a day if not within hours is that scams happen and to be aware of them.

The level of fail of a 4 year old character being unaware of the scams in eve. Even as a 1 month old char I had heard of some of them.
you sir, are either
1) a troll
2) someone who bought his char on e-bay
3) an absolute idiot
Take your pick, come back and pick twice even.

Yeah, there are people in Eve who live to be thieves of various sorts. However, for the sake of argument, where does one draw the line on a scam?
For example, the stated 'Caracal as a Cerberus' or 'billion isk iteron' are obviously attempts to catch stupid people who don't check and double-check an item they are purchasing. That's a scam set up to take advantage of people who make a mistake.
But what about overcharging items? I'm selling Oxygen Isotopes to former Insurgency members in their former main station for 2,750 isk per unit. More than 5 times empire price, but they need it to get their Capitals out now that they've failure cascaded. I'm selling shuttles for 200,000. Would that be considered a 'scam' to you?
Because to me, its a great and glorious victory for our Economic Warfare Unit.

Caveat Emptor or "buyer beware" is the general rule in EVE.
In danish (my language) we have a saying that goes: "den kloge narrer den mindre kloge" which roughly translates into "the wize tricks the less wize".
Confidence scams and price fixing. Spying and ambusing. These are all elements of human interaction. I am not saying that it would be impossible to design a game without them, but what would be the point?
Where does the line between a scam and exhuberant pricing go? If I make an item at 100 ISK and put it up for sale at 1000 ISK, can I be called a scammer, or am I simply a clever businesman?
I submit to you that "scammer" is as non-descriptive as "pirate". It depends entirely on your perspective. If YOU are the one being shot at, the person doing the shooting is quite obviously a pirate. In much the same way, you can be called the scammer if you are the one using your knowledge of humans to your advantage.
Rule #1 in EVE is "do not trust anyone".
Oh and P.S. I can hold your stuff for you if you arent using it in the near future

I thought rule No. 1 was "Dont fly what you cant afford to lose".
Rule No. 2 was "Dont trust anyone".
