I've got a nice large Domination Tower for Sale in jita (contract 875mil). After throwing some contracts in local - I get a convo. What ensues is a good attempt at scamming me :) Note - I have been convoed by an unknown alt.
[15:58:28] YouCallThatBig > hello [15:58:43] Lady Lexis > hi [15:58:50] Lady Lexis > can i buy tower please? [15:58:51] YouCallThatBig > how can I help you? [15:58:54] Lady Lexis > il offer 1,2 bil [15:58:57] YouCallThatBig > sure - put up a bid [15:58:58] Lady Lexis > i cannot open contracts [15:59:03] Lady Lexis > it freezes up everyt ime
yeah right I decide to play along...
[15:59:08] YouCallThatBig > really? [15:59:27] YouCallThatBig > how will you bu ythe tower from me then? [15:59:32] Lady Lexis > jita [15:59:36] Lady Lexis > can you do atrade?
Hmmm 1.4mil instead of 1.4 bil scam coming right up!
[15:59:42] Lady Lexis > im in jita [15:59:46] Lady Lexis > what station r yoiu at? [15:59:58] YouCallThatBig > trades make my computer freeze up :(
Yep I have a ******ed sense of humor too...
[16:00:35] Lady Lexis > lol? [16:00:38] YouCallThatBig > contratc only it seems to be [16:01:04] Lady Lexis > can you trad eit please? [16:01:07] Lady Lexis > il give you 1,.3 Bil
OK time to get their hopes up...
[16:01:48] YouCallThatBig > 1 moment [16:02:38] YouCallThatBig > 1400000000 and its a deal [16:02:47] Lady Lexis > bah fine [16:02:50] Lady Lexis > what station [16:02:57] YouCallThatBig > 4-4 [16:03:17] YouCallThatBig > ill be right there [16:03:20] Lady Lexis > omw [16:03:25] Lady Lexis > 1 minute also [16:05:38] Lady Lexis > here? [16:05:54] YouCallThatBig > warping to station [16:05:59] Lady Lexis > k [16:07:18] Lady Lexis > 1,4 Billion right? [16:07:56] YouCallThatBig > yes [16:08:00] Lady Lexis > k [16:08:03] Lady Lexis > can i see it please
I put up the tower in the trade window...
[16:08:31] Lady Lexis > k
1,400,000.00 offered...
[16:08:44] YouCallThatBig > LOL [16:08:44] Lady Lexis > ty m8 [16:08:50] Lady Lexis > ?
OH NOES I didn't accept the 1.4 mil trade!
[16:08:53] YouCallThatBig > 3 more 0's please [16:09:21] Lady Lexis > k
tries again with 1.4 mil - then 444 thousand (lol?)
[16:09:28] YouCallThatBig > 8 zeros [16:09:59] YouCallThatBig > you're killin me :) [16:10:00] Lady Lexis > lagging [16:10:04] YouCallThatBig > ME TOO! [16:10:10] YouCallThatBig > try harder [16:10:33] YouCallThatBig > /emote hovers her finger over accept button [16:10:59] YouCallThatBig > isk please [16:11:05] YouCallThatBig > 1400000000
Now our illustrious scammer throws up a contract - is it the real deal?
[16:11:16] Lady Lexis > <url=contract:30000142//9612850>[Want to Buy]</url> [16:11:20] Lady Lexis > i managed to make acontract [16:11:26] Lady Lexis > cant open others but at least can make [16:11:39] YouCallThatBig > HAHAHHAHH [16:12:26] YouCallThatBig > ok well that was fun - thanks for the laughs
The buy contract he put up was a want to gift - the tower + 1.4 bil from me!
Your tenacity was much appreciated. A more careless person not looking at the number of zeros or the terms of a contract would have surely been scammed hard.
Scarcely 5 min later, and I'm convoed again, this time the excuse is they cant dock up and need me to bring it to another station.
For some reason he wouldn't take me up on the offer to pay me first and then Id move it!
I love this game! __________________________________________________ Yep I'm looking down there... |

Wow, he didn't only try one well known old scam on you, he tried two. Exciting stuff.

I wasn't posting to say I didn't care, that would be stupid. I was posting ironically to point out that this thread is boring and is simply retreading old ground.

I thought it was funny and post worthy.
Theres nothing wrong with someone sharing their experiences on these forums, and if anyone can find anything in writing that says they can't, then show me.

You gotta be kidding me. the client conveniently crashes ONLY when people try to trade? Is that even possible?? Heck, knowing me, I would probably change te subject, and try to fix their client for them over chat... "so, have you tried reinstalling, yet? How about updating all your drivers..."

Weirdly enough my client only ever crashes when hostiles enter the system i'm ratting in. Damn bugs! :P

This same person, Lady Lexis, has been sitting in the recruitment channel trying the "I'm quiiting the game, give me some cash and I'll give you 10x back" scam for the past few days, and people keep falling for it. But meh, I gave 1m too just to check (only because last time I did that, I actually did get 10m back) but I certainly wouldn't have even given 10 ISK if I'd seen this first. - |

So what kind of post should be in C&P ? I mean if you wait for something 'new and original' EVO boards would be a ghost town. Most of the stuff that can be done has been done over and over, and the stuff being done that is wicked cool, well they're not sharing it....yet....The way I look at it, if I don't like the post when I read it, in lieu of being rude to an OP, I just hit the back button and drive on.

That kind of mature attitude has no place in C&P my friend. I found the OP entertaining. Better than the usual:
- Merc x for hire - we used to be pirates but we couldn't adapt to warp to zero so we ratted our way up into high sec again... - Merc corp y is dishonorable and sucks! - I 1v1 and I got blobbed! - What crappy little ship will help me kill everything in sight? - I am Garmon hear me rawr
I come to C&P for the scam stories, for the carebear tears, for the epic stories of an outgunned pilot winning or barely losing.
The attempted scam in the OP made me laugh, and might warn the newbies about these kinda of scams (or inspire them to do their own)!

You should have tried to change out the tower for a 1mn afterburner before he noticed.
