I thought you might pick up on the "reward" aspect as you had previously moaned about how much time and effort had gone into your "good" scam and nobody had bought it.
The fact is you are a bad criminal with a poorly executed plan (your ore thefts in a probe, demonstrate the calibre).
You will trap someone with less knowledge than yourself, so far that has been a futile endeavour.
I would not wish to teach you anything but I don't think it is a big secret that selling a reinforced bulkhead for many millions of isk claiming it to be an interceptor is not going to be "scam of century" material.
Perhaps a new line of work is needed, the life of a successful criminal is not easy, but it is a lot easier than the life of a failed criminal.
Best of luck in getting better at being a criminal, if your character can withstand the setbacks you have already inflicted on it.

Ok, its got to start somewhere, I can't afford or fly an indy on the first day. I had to 'earn' the cash first, ok. You'd be surprised how many times you can fill the probes can before the miners come back from the toilet.Also I don't need anyone to judge my gameplay, I only needed to know if its allowed, or not. I know all I need now, and can get on with my gamelife. |

I am not discussing your gameplay, just you are a poor criminal.
If anyone can put up a decent argument for you being a good one, then that's fine too.

The simple answer is you have been told not too Tech2 Shoppe, which makes any answer given in this thread totally pointless.
However a more interesting question is, "what should the punishment be for escrow scams?"
It would be nice there was a proper risk/reward calculation for escrow scams.
Currently for the scammer it is all reward.
For everyone else it is all downside, a cluttered and useless escrow and the potential of being scammed for millions of isk for worthless junk.
It would be nice if the veil of secrecy concerning the "family tree" could be lifted by CCP in these instances and they simply name and shame, a persons entire list of characters, alts, mains, other accounts, the lot.
Being able to filter out stuff placed on escrow by someones Main and Alts trough their IP would be nice.
Escrow is worthless atm, way to much junk to even begin looking.

Think one equates to the other!

it is a fine line but an example will demonstrate it is a line.
If Tech2 Shoppe is role playing a really pretty poor criminal then the gameplay is spot on.
