Spy 21 Lonetrek Exploration and Salvage 18	Posted - 2012.04.03 03:55:00 - [1] - Quote If anyone cares to participate and are not too embarrassed to talk about it.... What's the most you've ever been scammed out of? And what was the scam... Besides the fact I'm just curious, might be a bit of a public service to get some of that stuff out there for others to see and perhaps save them the similar fate. My own story is pretty run of the mill and sheer stupidity. It was the old, reverse the quantity and price trick on a faction ammo market order. Ie... the market price for a certain faction projectile ammo I was looking for was approximately 950 ISK... Well someone had listed 950 units of this ammo at somewhere around 145000 ISK each... I was in a hurry and bot it without even reading the actual buy window... cost me, what, 138 million give or take? Cute little scam and it only works when someone was in an extreme hurry and had their market window sorted backwards. Worked on me.... I sent the guy an attaboy.

I mean I was in a corp for a long time, and one of the Directors that was there for a long time before me, had it on the books to rob everyone. Yes, If I kept all my stuff in a high sec pos and contributed nothing to the corp maybe it could be helped, but when you are running a manufacturing pos and the director drops the password and takes everything while you are offline, it cant be helped. In this situation the only way you help is like I did. Keep reserves so you don't get completely ruined by it.

One day you log on and all your stuffs gone. Now beside what I did - which is only keep out there what I could afford to lose - what exactly would you do better?

I knew Eve as a wretched hive of scum and villainy, so I haven't really fallen for any scams. Did get coaxed into losing a battleship once, but I kinda knew that was coming and took a willful gamble. Good fight, though. "A man with a drone-boat has nothing but time on his hands."

I ended up getting it all back from the guy because long after I had forgotten about it I ended up as a director in that guy's corp and he was talking about how he'd purchased an Iteron 5 once for 300m by accident then flipped it for 300m the next day. Then I named the solar system and he felt bad so he gave me the isk back. Things I have realized from the EvE forums: Many people beleive cost means money and only money

I HAVE been scammed out of other things, like my ships... I started life in EVE the same way a lot of people do. Mining. After you get ganked so many times, and can flipped so many times.. you just decide enough is enough and start doing it to other people instead of letting them do it to you. I never once cried in local or cried to CCP to ban people. I knew what I got into when I signed up for EVE since I had read reviews beforehand.

It was from a company I fully trusted, had a name I recognised passionately. I'm still very upset about this issue. The company is bioware (notice no Capitals due to no respect for the name!) The scam was dragon age 2 (again no caps, I fully realize titles are supposed to have them but that is a false title so no caps) FUK YOU bioware, FUC YOU ea. Unlike most I learned my lesson and knew way before release swtor was a SCAM! No more moneys from me basstardo's. I recall one night in a nightclub called the matrix, there I was... Mother of god there I am! Holy f**k.

Especially anything that's in a contract that can be sold on the market - 99% chance it's a scam. The list goes on. It's been said many times, "If it looks too good to be true, it's likely a scam."

Killer Schnitzel Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.04.03 21:31:00 - [71] - Quote I'll play... No one really wants to be honest about it so I'll be one of the first. Friends with a guy in game for two years. Most of the folks I spend any time with I have known for years in game. I was asked to spot this said friend some iskies and that I would turn a 20% profit for a few hours loan. Transferred the isk and went to go watch some tv. Got back to be told that I had been scammed by a long time scammer. Someone who gets in close playing friendly and then takes you for you kindness. For me it was kind of a good thing. I had gotten complacent and hadn't been working hard at making isk for a while and this lit the fire under my butt to make it back and then some. Total Loss: 14 Billion Recouped: Less than 14 weeks. Sometimes it is good to be gotten and before you all rag remember... It's only a game. If you get your panties in a bunch over play money then don't play Monopoly.

Ren Oren Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 11	Posted - 2012.04.04 03:44:00 - [75] - Quote I was ALMOST scammed into giving away a typhoon. Basically the guy said "Dude just station trade it to me" I had the thing even put in the trade window then I smelt BS... I was a noob but not stupid. Save myself from giving away 70mil Oh and Goonswarm almost scammed me out of 500mil(recruitment), lucky I didn't have 500mil and was actually begging them to take my 300mil, luckily the GS guy was stupid and didn't want to go lower then 500mil so I was saved by dumb luck
