In recent months there has been an influx of 3rd party scam attempts for super capital transfers. That does not mean they are all scams, that just means there have been more scam attempts than usual. So I will write out my recommendations to avoiding going home broke.

The safest option is to only use the generally accepted 3rd parties: Chribba, Darknesss, Grendell , and Wirox Crotikus.




On occasion, it may be difficult to reach these 3rd parties as they have real lives outside of Eve. Here you can choose the safe approach and wait for one of the generally accepted 3rd parties. But if you insist on trying another 3rd party that is not on that list, take some serious pre-cautions. This is all completely at YOUR OWN RISK.

• Do not get rushed into a deal. Frequently the scammer will try and rush you into using his 3rd party because of some excuse that he has to log off or he will give the deal to somebody else.


• A common trick is to have buyers and sellers set up a meeting with you and a legitimate 3rd party. When the meeting takes place they simply don't show up. They wait until the generally accepted 3rd parties log off, then magically come on-line, giving you every excuse in the book why they were not there. They will then convince you to use some no name 3rd party, which will be their alt or friend.


• Ask to see their feedback thread. Read every single post in that thread and look for anything suspicious.
(That could mean posters are all noob alts, or apart of the same corp/alliance)
*If there was any moderation done in the thread, check what posts were edited or removed using eve-search


• A good way to make sure they are legitimate is to see if they will accept Chribba. If they say no, just close the conversation, they are scamming you. There isn't a person in Eve that can argue Chribba isn't reputable enough to handle Super Capital Transactions. If they don't trust Dark, me, wirox, etc that's fine, but I'd like to see anyone debate Chribba out as an option.
