The contract is real, that's for sure.
NOTE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T READ, IT'S NOT ME LISTED AS ISSUER...

This showed up a few days ago. If you look at the odd discoloration around the amount and the name, it might make you suspicious. It did me. So I checked out Entity's contract history, and this contract does not show.
TL;DR - Hoax.

Wrong.
Learn to look up both sides. Keeps you from this.

This is quite interesting. If you do a search on finished contracts issued by doya lickalotapum this does indeed show up as Entity as the purchaser. Upon clicking the purchasers name you are brought to a show info box which contains Entity's info. However a search of finished contracts to Entity does not show this contract.

I think the guy did it with a different name and some how got a name change, is why it won't show on Entity's list.

With a name like lickalotapum, I am sure is was changed probably without having to ask

Unlucky Entity.
It's not like it wouldn't just be a small thorn in his side though with the amount of cash/assets he has. Judgement error? Alcohol induced error, who knows but i'm sure he will get through it just fine |

That is just an irritating feature of Eve. I use contract history quite extensively but but when looking at another character, if it goes over about a page and a half of old contracts, only the older ones are displayed and the more recent months contracts cannot be viewed.
I'm not sure whether it's meant to be a feature but I wish CCP would fix it.

Yep the contract logging system has a couple of hardcore bugs in it. I am dealing with CCP on a very concerning issue now. Once results are forthcoming I will let people know to be aware of it (ofc without posting conversation data etc) |

My puppy wore one similar after she got fixed, but it was shallower and didnt affect her as much as the one on that cat would.

He was drunk.
I heard that someone reimbursed his loss, not sure why since he has all the isk in the world...
Seen a few similar scams on contracts lately.

Ya think?
However the likeliest answer is that Entity won an auction for the t2 bpo. The issuer was in a situation of either hand back the isk or get the isk taken back and possibly receiving a ban. From the forums at the least. The forum ban would, again most likely, be more painful for the main then for this obvious alt.

That is not the right answer. Sorry.

Why receive a ban? CCP got tired of sorting out scams from nonscams, and changed the forum rules back about a year and a half ago (maybe two?). You can scam all you like on the forums as well as ingame, without being banned (only exception is GTCs and character sales). Unless I misunderstand the forum you're talking about? ____ English doesn't borrow from other languages; it follows other languages down dark alleys, coshes 'em, then rummages in their pockets for loose bits of grammar. |

Highly unlikely. It's so unlikely that I can tell you it wasn't how it happened.

Short version: His alt got too chatty, so I matched his writing style to his main (one of the reasons why I keep all logs ;). I then contacted his CEO, who helped recover the money. _

If I spent 16bil, I would look at it VERY closely before I click the button :D
I can say after making numerous market orders, that I never made a mistake.
But good you got your money back :)... And peeps, this also happens on the normal market, so watch out. ----------------- Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for - it is a thing to be achieved. |

For someone who probably has more money run through him in a week than you will ever see in Eve, mistakes are bound to happen from time to time

I saw the original just after it happened. So i can confirm the first one. I also saved the contract in my notepad. I just rechecked... and now i can confirm the 2nd one also is the original. ------------------------ To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe. ------------------------ Life sucks and then you get podded. |

and the "i used magick trix to trace ze chars!" explaining sounds like bullsh*t, concurrently.
Been done before, and a beautiful video resulted. Not to mention the dominix became the hi-sec vehicle of choice afterwards. Many people have been busted that way.
Found the video link:D
