I had advertised myself on the recruitment forums as an interdictor pilot.
I was mailed in-game by Goonswarm Federation.
After providing them with my full API, they asked for a 500 million ISK down payment as anti-spy/awox measures.
I researched the forums about Goonswarm scamming activity, it was on Code Red.
I said goodbye, fly safe o/
DId I just escape a massive scam? |

Congratulations, you could be a rocket surgeon.
OP was disappointing - would not read again.
Much better ending would have been "So, to prove just how trustworthy I really was, I sent them 1b and am now waiting for a reply."

Totally a scam, you should never have to pay more than 450 mil for recruitment. What kind of business are they running?

It says clearly on their own website that anyone asking for money to join Goonswarm is scamming you. |

3 Golden Rules
1. Never pay a corp to join them. 2. Never move ALL your assets to 0.0 3. Never fly what you can't afford to lose.

Make that 4, if they're a goon, they're either scamming you or shooting you War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

Yes, its the Goonswarm recruitment scam. Unlike other people, you actual did the research before blindly giving them your isk. I guess EVE does have some smart players after all. |
