!!!!!!!TANK CEO IS SCAMMING!!!!!!!
i did his buddy invite program and he SCAMMED ME.
he thought i was a simple-minded newbie who didn't know any better, but he was WRONG.
i chose his second payout option, which reads as follows:
Quote:Option 2 - 100 Million ISK, Valuable Tips, Unlimited Answers to Questions, & My Own Unique & Exclusive Guide/Secret to becoming 5-7 billion ISK Richer in Eve Easily!
My secret is not found in any current guide, or links my competitors provide who try to drive you away from my offer.
in REALITY the "guide" he sends you is not UNIQUE or EXCLUSIVE... in fact it instructs you to download "isk the guide" - a freely available resource!!!
his "SECRET GUIDE" covers such things as... the differences between the four races ships... CHARACTER CREATION.... using implants.... everything that you can read everywhere else!!!
and finally his "SECRET GUIDE TO BILLIONS OF ISK" -- -- FARMING DATACORES!!!!!!
EVERYTHING his guide contains is freely available on the eve university website or the official eve wikipedia!!!!!
TANK CEO agreed to reimburse me 100 million isk if i found his guide lacking - i have not seen a penny of that money! instead he tried to argue with me about it!
this is a SCAM, do NOT let TANK CEO scam you!!!!
PS - I WILL SEND HIS CRAPPY GUIDE TO ANYONE, FOR FREE, WHO WANTS IT!! SEE IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!!!!

EDIT: EVERYONE WHO HAS CHOSEN HIS PAYOUT OPTION NUMBER 2 HAS BEEN SCAMMED AND SWINDLED. |

FACT:
he claims his guide is EXCLUSIVE and contains SECRETS that you CANT READ ANYWHERE ELSE
FACT:
his guide actually contains information that you can find written all over the internet.
FACT:
he is lying and therefore scamming. he offers his guide hoping newbies will pick the 100m isk option so he makes more bank.
SCAM. |

Quote:- The players receiving the invites may post confirmations
posting to confirm that you SCAMMED ME with a guide containing SECOND HAND INFORMATION.
and SCAMMING is against the rules according to the first post!
you said you would compensate me if i thought your guide was a **** scam. AND IT IS A **** SCAM. but you never compensated me!
i have a screenshot of my email and i am prepared to turn my email password over to GMs so they can see for themselfs!

Quote:On a more serious note, PaulBJR contacted me for a buddy invite; however, he wanted 200 million ISK + the guide.. I said no, but I would compensate him if disliked my method
you said you would compensate me if i felt your guid was a scam, which i did. and you never did compensate me, instead, you made excuses, and your post is a perfect example of the excuses you make not to pay me what you owe me
Quote:and I have been giving out my method* for the past 3 months to many, many new recruits.
wow so youre saying you have scammed many, many new recruits?
*and you mean eve-university's method
Quote:I even offered to send him another 100 million ISK, but only if he calmed down and provided me with feedback and constructive criticism like he had agreed to do so.
you agreed to send the 100 if i wasnt satisfied. i wasn't satisfied, you never sent the 100, PERIOD.
Quote:Unfortunately, there was no reasoning with him, and I am sure if I would have sent him the 100m extra ISK, his post(s) would still be on this thread. He actually tried to extort Isk out of me by demanding I send him more ISK and in exchange he would not report me to the GM's and obviously not do what he is doing now. Any was, I gave him a final chance to calm down and talk with me for the feedback we agreed, but he gave me the silent treatment and I left the conversation.
To conclude, PaulBJR was set out to destroy my reputation and credibility, and judging by his demeanor, nothing would have satisfied him. Additionally, he is attempting to tarnish my offer by falsely saying it is a scam when it is not. As a noob, he surely seems to be quiet knowledgeable of the game.
dude you can drop the act this isn't a courtroom and you're not on tv playing "public relations" after some political scandal
the fact is you scam newbies who don't know any better and i have petitioned the gms about you and warned anyone reading this thread about your scam
Quote:PaulBJR, I think you should be aware of the thread rules listed by the original poster. I'll repeat them for you:
nice try trying to hide behind the rules but the rules state that scamming is not allowed and that people who accept invites may post feedback |

nice try with the semantic tricks but unfortunately no cigar:
Quote:The catch is that those guides aren't exactly spoon-fed to new players.
the catch is that he actually claims in several places including emails to me and in-game chat that the information in his guide cannot be found anywhere else.
i would say the information being available on eve wikipedia and eve university website constitutes as being available somewhere else, no? i mean, that kinda sounds like he's lying to profit at the expense of newbies doesn't it?
Quote:If something isn't known, that makes it secret in the same sense that many towns and villages throughout Europe are "secrets" that most tourists don't know about. "A method or formula on which success is based" is also a secret, as in "the secret to awesome lasagne is getting the right balance of milk to cheese in the b+¬chamel sauce".
im not interested in an argument from false analogy. also playing semantics is as good as a formal concession as far as im concerned. the fact is he not only said his guide was "secret", he also said it was "exclusive" and that the information in his guide cannot be found anywhere else.
Quote:So here you are, PaulBJR, saying that "TankCEO promised to tell me something that new players don't know! And all he told me was stuff that people who have played the game for a few years already know!"
nice try with the wording of the quote but actually i am here to say "TankCEO promised me that the information in his guide could not be found anywhere else, but i found it in 2 minutes of googling words such as 'eve guide' and 'how to play eve'. he promised to tell me stuff that only the people who read his guide know! instead, he told me stuff that everyone knows!" |

Quote:To a new player, TankCEO's guide would be an exceptionally handy pointer in the right direction to making lots of ISK. In fact, it's one that is referenced in the Making ISK guide.
sorry but you'll have to hold my hand here: i'm not seeing any such guide by tankceo referenced on the page you link.  |

hello
tank ceo still has not sent me the isk he owes me. i have reported him to the gms and they basically said they would not do anything about it. please be aware of this when you are doing buddy invites - if you get scammed, the gms will not help you. |

no it is absolutely true they told me that because the word "secret" is open to interpretation that they will not take action.
however they did not take into account other claims tank made such as "exclusive" and that the information "cannot be found anywhere else" - i mean come on he even links to the wikipedia where he copied his information from! they let him pass lies.
also they are ignoring my petitions now but tank did not pay me all the money as per our deal. he still owes me 100 million. |

i saw tank ceo today in jita i confronted him about the 100 million isk he still owes me, he just laughed and said he wouldnt pay me.
these are his exact words about his offer to me when we were emailing
Quote:If you feel that it was complete **** and was a scam, I will compensate you by sending you an additional 100m ISK.
note that the only stipulation is that i thought the guide was "**** and was a scam". i do in fact find his guide to be "**** and a scam" and i told him so, yet he has not compensated me the 100m and he makes the excuse that i sent the guide to the gms
everyone beware if you are going to use tank ceo, he says one thing but then does another and has tons of excuses |

tank,
i understand you are angry and upset but i still have to point out several problems and lies in your post. the first one is that you are excusing yourself from your commitment and making up excuses. also most of your excuses are either outright lies or misleading, for instance
"You did now follow through on the terms you agreed to which were to provide me with constructive criticism and feedback in a positive manner."
no actually tank, you never said i *had* to provide you with feedback, and i never agreed to. this was not a term of our agreement. please re-read our emails and chats for this.
"You did not commit any time what so ever to have a discussion with me to explain respectfully and maturely why you disliked my guide."
tank, as i already explained there was no stipulation to discuss anything with you. i did, however, discuss with you when i pointed out that all the information in your guide was available on wikipedia. please reread our chat logs for this.
"You did not prove to me that my guide was a scam."
tank, there was no stipulation to prove to you. the stipulation was if i thought it was **** and a scam... i did indeed think it was **** and a scam and i went 1 step further than our agreement and told you why. please reread our emails and chats.
"You posted my intellectual property on public forums without my permission with the intention to hurt my ability to obtain recruits."
yes, my bad. however, let me ask you tank: it passed 1 hour before i posted anything on the forums. what prevented you from paying me during that hour? surely it was not because i posted your guide to teh forums...
"You posted false libel about me and continue to do so."
tank how is it libel if i say "tank is refusing to pay me" and then you show up and say "no paul, i will not pay you"? tank, i have not posted libel. i posted that you were refusing to pay me the additional 100 million that you promised me..... your actions in this thread prove it is not false.
"You did not give me the any opportunity to explain the guide to you because you were biased from the beginning. You did not even read through the guide before you started to demand more ISK from me, and you cried scam constantly. You are a extortionist that came into this deal with a bias opinion against me. I presume nothing would have been good enough for you."
there was no stipulation to let you explain. and i did in fact read your guide - tank, your guide is only 4 pages long
"" I wrote the guide... Essentially, everything you can do in EVE can be read on a wiki website... Except for my secret."
tank i am sorry my friend, but i dont think having three characters is really a secret nor do i really think you can copyright that "idea" as your own.
"You then replied that you didn't care anymore and that you would take the offer and if I scammed you, you would report it to CCP and they would ban me. So you took the 100m ISK and the guide."
no tank, that is not what i said. this is what was actually said.
please tank, stop with the lies. i can appreciate where you are coming from and sympathize with you for being upset... however we had a deal. i met my end of the deal, and you owe me 100 million. i am ready to receive it when you are ready to send it.
ps i would also like to point out this:
Quote:n++[ 2011.09.15 23:51:12 ] PaulBJR > i wanted to ask you once more: this guide is your own secret and i cannot read about it anywhere else? you will tell me methods that work and no one else has published? n++[ 2011.09.15 23:51:32 ] Tank CEO > correct
i asked you "you will tell me methods that work and no one else has published"? and you said "correct" however in your own guide you link to the wikipedia pages where you got the information from... did you ever stop to think tank.... no i guess not. i wait my 100 million.
Quote:n++[ 2011.09.16 00:13:22 ] Tank CEO > I agreed to send you another 100m n++[ 2011.09.16 00:13:30 ] Tank CEO > only if you convinced me that my guide was a scam
post the apropriate references then |

"Guess what, I'm still here and I am not banned. So that must mean the GM's concluded that I am not a scam, and my guide is not a scam."
mmm not exactly tank. your post has been edited several times by cpp and you now have to post a disclaimer... so there was definitely a ruling against you... so i can understand why you would be so ... defensive...
and as our deal predates the addition of the disclaimer, the disclaimer does not apply to our situation.
"It saddens me that this has come down to this. I am here to help noobs, and what you are doing is counterproductive. So, for the final time, I sent you what we agreed upon."
no you did not, and no matter how many times you pass a lie it does not become truth: you still owe me the 100 million compensation, tank.
"Please stop posting false libel, and stop breaking the forum and thread rules."
by your own admission it's not libel... and it's not false.... stop trying to hide behind the rules also... they are obviously not *that* important to you...
"Maybe, since you are young and still in highschool, that this could possibly be a learning experience for you in the future. Treat others with respect. If you weren't such an ******* and hadn't posted my guide publicly for my competitors to get, I might have donated the extra ISK to you because I'm a nice guy and I enjoy helping noobs. You, on the other hand, are on my kill list (in eve of course)."
why do you need to resort to personal attacks, tank? i have not attacked *your* character, ive only stated the facts. also, dont try that game on me tank - if you were going to send the extra isk you would have sent it straight away instead of making excuse after excuse. nice try but no cigar. i think the person who needs to learn something is you; you need to learn to honor your commitments and stick to your word tank.
you still owe me 100 million and as per the thread rules that scamming is not allowed.
i agree that this situation is indeed sad. and it could have all been avoided if you'd just stuck to your word. i have to hand it to you tank, you sure are good at putting on a show for ccp but at the end of the day the facts cant be denied:
you agreed to compensate me 100 million isk if i was not satisfied with your guide. i was not satisfied with your guide and you did not compensate me the 100 million. period point blank and end of story tank...
inb4 excuses... |

tank,
the agreement was that if i thought your guide was "complete ****" that you would "compensate me an additional 100 million". i told you that i thought your guide was **** and that i wanted the other 100. you got very defensive and started making excuses and changing out agreement. i understand; your feelings are hurt. however this is no reason to break your word. a man's word is his bond, and you cannot retroactively change an agreement once it's made.
i am ready to receive my 100 million when you are ready to follow through
