Some of you may of read another scam by me/Garmon a few weeks ago to the extent of a pittyful sum of 3.2 Billion however it was funny.
This scam however I bring you to the effect of ... 23.5 Billion
Yes, I know it's not the biggest but I think its sizeable enough to deserve a post
Edit: The actual scam is selling PLEX cards via freeform contract, easy and yet I don't think there was many people doing it (during December I honestly believe I was the only one).
I hear some of you ask "Why the **** would you reveal that, it's a good source of income!!"
Honestly? Vengeance.
A couple of victims have started doing it so I want to cripple the PLEX scam market by bringing it to the attention of as many as possible.
I was once also caught out, check here
All this scam involved was around five minutes of social engineering and a fraudulent freeform contact.
Enjoy guys, victim list will follow in post two.
PS.: I'd like to thank Shigsy for persuading me to keep at it and not revealing it sooner
PPS.: This has been dealt with. (*Hugs Lark*) |

I thought there were going to make it so you couldn't put PLEX into a freeform contract?
Good work man. Very surprising that people fell for it over and over again. Bravo.
Without being rude, I don't think you quite understand the mechanics of freeforms.
I simply created a freeform contract (no item) but autolinked a PLEX card in the description. Put on a courier price, and then failed it after they 'completed', hence me getting the money.
PS. There is a warning that specifically states "YOU WILL NOT RECIEVE ANYTHING FROM THIS CONTRACT", yet people still accept.

So if you freeform nothing, the game says the person completed the courier part but can't recognize that anything was completed, allowing someone to say they never delivered the goods?
Before you open a freeform you are warned the contractor has full control. Freeforms contain NOTHING, they never can contain ANYTHING. They can contain an ISK reward and/or Collateral. The contractor (me) has full control over whether to fail your efforts.
Freeforms are simply a way to document spoken agreements, however the person contracting decides everything, you just fake the description to look like an item exchange. |

hey there
kodos on the success on the freeforms
I get tired of freeforms since the rate is so low but hey you are doing very well
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I actually take that as a massive compliment considering you are by _far_ the most consistent Jita local scammer. :)

Lordy I hope that fact110 as seen in here is actually Garmon in disguise.
Your "social engineering" involved heavy caps lock use, terrible spelling and no sense of grammar. I mean, it's awesome on your part but really? Are the Jita locals actually that dumb?
That was a very bad example, I always found caps and pressure worked better on poorly spoken English people. Regardless, it made me enough isk. |

Hate to burst your bubble, but many of the people that fall for scams probably don't even read the forums anyway.
Maybe you're an idiot and narrow-minded, maybe I'm hoping lots of nooblet scammers read this(and they do, since i've had a dozen convos ingame asking for step-by-step instructions) to start doing it, the more people doing it, the less money to be made by the people I don't like :)
