Scammers and Tricksters of all sorts are running abundant in the EvE universe. I think it is high time that the good folks in EvE get a way to turn their hard earned ISK into a whole lot more without having to scam and trick people into giving them free money without meaning to. I know that most of you reading this post and seeing that it is being posted by a character that is only a few weeks old are thinking, ônother damn no0b trying to scam for a buck.ö Or ôOmg heÆs on an alt run for your livesö etc etc etc. Let me start off by clarifying that I am an alt and no I am not a noob. I did however, get scammed for 2bil ISK a couple weeks back, which is what set me down the path to creating what I have to offer you today. This is not a scam. This is not your ordinary every day average try to make a dollar scheme either. Read on and you will understand how I can help you turn 100mil ISK into 800mil ISK with only the push of a few buttons on your part.
I am talking about a pyramid scheme that will work perfectly in the EvE universe. DO NOT RUN AWAY YET. KEEP READING. If you are here and reading this post then it is obvious that you are looking for some extra money. Whether it is looking for good deals to buy and resell or looking for some blueprint that you need to save money on buying a ship. We all want more money. I have spent a couple of weeks formulating this plan and getting all of the details together. This plan will minimize the risks to anyone wanting to partake in the excitement of logging in their characters and finding themselves 800mil ISK richer than they were when they logged out. This program will not attempt to sell you anything, ask for your passwords to your account (although feel free to EvEmail them to me I wont mind à j/k =p), or make you do any recruiting work or countless hours of mining operations. All you have to do to get paid is simply push a few buttons once.
I am sure that most of you have heard of a pyramid scheme and been tempted by its promises to pay you some ridiculous amount of money for your small investment as long as you recruit two of your relatives into the program and buy their products etc. Most of you also know that pyramid schemes can pay out handsome sums of money to the people who are on the top of the pyramid. The people on the bottom of the pyramid however are stuck waiting to find their recruits to bring in. Eventually, if the pyramid runs long enough, those people that were at the bottom make their way to the top and collect their payday. The problem that this system faces is that there is always someone at the bottom waiting to get paid, and the longer the pyramid goes, the more people are required to fill the bottom slots in order for people to move up.
This program belongs to you the people of the EvE universe. It can be as lucrative or as puny as you want it to be. If you wish to take 100mil ISK and turn it into 800mil ISK once and walk away, then do it. If you want to take 100mil ISK and turn it into 800mil ISK several times over, then go right ahead. Below I will begin to lay out the program rules and procedures that we will be following to make this project as successful as we possibly can. I ask for any and all feedback both positive and negative as long as it is constructive in some way to the program. If you feel that you have a better way to conduct business, then please forward your ideas on to me and we will take a look at implementing them into the program. If you wish to light this post on fire by dropping hundreds of ôyouÆre a no0b scammerö flaming comments, then it is obvious that you must be richer than I am and donÆt need the extra ISK. For those of you that truly do want to make a ton of extra ISK I urge you to read past the flaming idiotic posts that will undoubtedly accompany a topic such as this one. Read the rules that I will outline for you and decide for yourself if 800mil ISK or a ton more is right for you. CONTINUED ON NEXT POST |

IÆm pretty sure the answer to that will always be yes.
Pyramid Style
We will not be using a pyramid at all. Instead we will use a list. HereÆs how it will work. Each day I will log my character in and open the corporate wallet. I will load the journal and see who has paid in. The first thing that I will do is take a screenshot and upload it to a photobucket account and then post a link here for all to view. This will allow people who want to get in but are scared to join up see that the system really is working. All photos will be dated. Next I will start where I left off the day before on payments and go down the line paying each and every person in the list 800mil ISK as long as there are 8 other people below you on the list. This will effectively eliminate the huge amount of people at the bottom of a ôpyramidö and reduce the number of people waiting to be paid to no more than 7 at a time. Each time a character is paid, they will more than likely buy back in due to the fact that they just successfully turned 100mil ISK in to 800mil ISK for doing almost nothing at all. I will continue to repeat this process twice per day until the program loses interest. Once the program begins to slow down, I will issue a halt to the system and that will be the end of it. ôWhat about the 7 people at the bottom waiting to get their money?ö is what you are thinking at the moment right? Their 100mil ISK payments will be refunded and they will have missed out on the opportunity to make as much money as the people that were buying in constantly while the program was still active. Where is their money going to come from if it was already paid out to the 8th person up from the bottom? Simple, I have personally invested 800mil ISK into this program to assure that no one gets stiffed on the bottom side of the list. If you wait to long to get in and miss the opportunity, then you will at least get your money back. You can view this screenshot to verify that the money has been deposited.
How long can this go on? Since we are using a linear setup instead of a pyramid, it can quite honestly go on for as long as the EvE community wants it to. I encourage all people that take the plunge into this program and walk away with their 800mil ISK to post here in this post letting people know about your experience with the program and whether or not you intend to buy back in. This program will start off slowly at first because people will be weary of paying 100mil ISK into a program that has not proven itÆs self to be reliable and worthy yet. I encourage those of you who are beyond rich in the EvE universe to be the first to step up and test the program out. I will be the first person to pay in my 100mil ISK as a sign of good faith that this program will work. If we do not get enough people to get this program running then all entry money will be refunded. There is absolutely no way that I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that this is not a scam and I wont take your money and send it off to my other accounts and laugh all the way to the bank, however I will be buying into this program as many times as I can to make as much money as I can. It only stands to reason that if I can get this program rolling I will be able to make much more than the few hundred million ISK I could collect before people started posting that this was a scam all over the place. As further collateral, I will contact several of the people that I know in game and ask them to buy in to this program and or post a good word for me and my reputation here. 100mil ISK is not a lot of money to most of the players in the EvE universe. Most battleships with fittings cost more than this. IsnÆt it worth the price of one battleship to have a chance at making 800mil ISK repeatedly? LetÆs get started. Who will be the second person to buy into the program and get paid?

Rules and Regulations
1.You may use alt characters if you wish. This is to protect the identities of whomever may not want their main character(s) to be involved with a pyramid scheme, or for people that wish to buy in multiple times. 2.Each character may buy in to the up to 7 times at once. This means that if you send ISK for 2 entries your name will be stacked directly below your first buy in on the list and you will be paid twice in a row and so on. 3.First come first served. There are absolutely no exceptions to this rule. 4.The program will be shut down when there is 7 days worth of inactivity on the account. With a 7 day window, we should be able to keep this program rolling for a long time. 5.Once the program is shut down, anyone who has paid in but not received a payment yet will be reimbursed their 100mil ISK from the initial invested funds. 6.Payments will only be sent to the character that made the original deposit to join the program. 7.All questions directed to my EvEmail will be forwarded here so that all can see them. Any name information will be erased from the mails before posting to help protect identities. 8.Players who have a good experience with this program are encouraged to pass it along to other people they know or meet within the EvE community. The more we can bring in on our little party the better off we will all be. 9.EvE Pyramid Scheme Corporation reserves the right to refuse to allow anyone into the program provided their entry fees are reimbursed in full. 10.Entry fees totaling over 700mil ISK will be refunded down to 700mil ISK exactly. This means if you send in 800mil ISK to buy in 8 times you will be refunded 100mil ISK and only allowed to have 7 running at a time. 11.Players may buy in with as many alts as they like. 12.EvE Pyramid Scheme Corporation reserves the right to modify the rules of this program at any given time to better the overall program. 13.Any entry fees transferred directly to my character will be refunded along with a reason stating to pay the corporation instead. 14.EvE Pyramid Scheme Corporation or its member(s) are not responsible for losses due to misspelled corporation names on transactions. 15.Corporation Directors or CEOs are allowed to buy in as a corporation by transferring the 100mil ISK from your corporation to ours.
To buy into this program and start making huge amounts of money today, all you need to do is log into your character. Click on people and places and look up the corporation EvE Pyramid Scheme (MAKE SURE YOU SPELL IT CORRECTLY). Right click on the corporations name when it pops up in the search box and select ôGive Moneyö. Type in 100000000 ISK and hit ôOKö. All you have to do after this point is sit back and wait until the money flows in. If we can get this program up and running quickly, we should be able to pay out to several people each day. If it gets too crazy, IÆll just stay logged into it whenever I am online.
LetÆs Start Making Tons of ISK!!!

Isk sent for 3 slots, looking forward to seeing the results.
This has great potential, it just requires an initial risk as with all great business ventures. I hope other wealthy pilots see the same opportunity and invest the paltry 100m to get this thing rolling and credible.

This is the worst scam ever.
Hint: this system will go broke trying to make the 2nd payout.
Extra Hint: All the posts above this one were made by the same person.
Double extra-special hint: If this was legit he'd be offering to give out a full API key instead of just screenshots.
Oops, did I spoil it?

This is just another form of a ponzi scam... where as he will pay the payout for the first few people only and leave with ALL your isk once the influx of new recruits are gone. How did he do this? Well first of all the income is correlated with the influx of new recruits joining and the pool of money gained IS NOT invested in any activities therefore once new recruits are gone there's no reason for him to stay longer. I seriously think all of the above poster above(except the one warning you) is his alt and how stupid it is for someone to edit: Lol at the below poster not to have 100m and not realising that is a bait.
But then i guess there's also an advantage if you think u're up for it because he has to pay the first few recruits to make himself seems legit. And if you think u're one of them go ahead and invest but as far as i'm concern this is a scam.
Just my 2 cents... Good luck in selling this idea...

So wait how does this work? name 1 - pays 100 mil name 2 - pays 100 mil name 3 - pays 100 mil name 4 - pays 100 mil name 5 - pays 100 mil name 6 - pays 100 mil name 7 - pays 100 mil name 8 - pays 100 mil Now you got 800 mil isk and you can pay "name 1" Now you need 8 more people to pay "name 2" So uhm by the time you can pay "name 8" you need 64 people to have joined So uhm you pay 8 people and 56 wait for their cash and that number just gets bigger - How is this not the same as the pyramid scheme? |

I am not an alt of the OP actually, just someone who has been involved in pyramid schemes in the past and believe it or not, had success being in them. This can work and I am excited to see my first payout soon. Theres no need to call this a scam btw, since it IS a Pyramid Scheme and of course there are risks involved, duh. |

Edited by: Ares Aurora on 10/02/2009 17:34:58 Hey.
Just my thoughts on actually trying to get this sort of scheme running.
1. Get Chribba involved in this. 2. Make re-entry mandatory. 3. Reduce line of payout.
Example:
Person 1 pays in 100mil. Person 2 pays in 100mil. Person 3 pays in 100mil. Person 4 pays in 100mil. Person 5 pays in 100mil.
Pot now has 500mil. 4 people below person 1. Person 1 receives 350mil. Chribba receives 50mil. Person 1 now becomes person 6 due to mandatory re-entry and 100mil stays in pot.
Chribba obviously holds isk!
Thoughts??? |

Chribba wouldn't touch this with an 10km pole. For good reason.
In pyramid schemes, there's always a loser - the only winners are ones who aren't holding the hot potato. |

Edited by: Ares Aurora on 10/02/2009 17:52:32 Cant be a loser if the wallet starts off with 500mil, which is the guarantee the 5 people in line that cant get paid would get isk back. It would take 2 runs for the operator to get 500mil back so he/she would not lose anything either. Wallet may only need to start off with 400mil, I am to tired to work out any maths at mo :P
I am not an alt, been playing a game, just thought would be cool idea and it could be done without a scam and the only loss is last peeps in scheme would not get any profit on isk they put in! |

This is a legitimate pyramid scheme, it is NOT a scam. What your saying Ares is right, this can work easily and if you read that wall of text the OP has, the initial costs are covered by him.
This scheme will work better than traditional RL pyramid schemes because Eve has a large player base that can easily be communicated to via many different options, chat, forums, 3rd party websites, etc. This makes it much easier to recruit people into the program and keep it going quickly. This kind of thing does require some personal work to recruit new people into it, but really it's like anything, you get what you put into it. If your near the bottom then you need to get more people to bump you to the top, its not hard.
As for requiring someone to buy back in, I think he's assuming that people will be buying back in regularly after there first payment voluntarily. Chribba also isn't the only person in Eve you can trust, there are lots of credible trust worthy pilots I've dealt with.

***SHUTTING THIS DOWN DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST AND TRUST***
All ISK has currently been refunded. Statistics for this were only 10 people chose to join in including myself. Therefore it is not worth the hassle of trying to wrangle more non believers into something that could have worked out great for several peoples. I hope that by my giving refunds of all of the ISK sent in that people will realize that there was never any intention of scamming or playing foul in any way on this. Hopefully maybe we can get something like this set up at a later time with a smaller buy in so that people will trust it more easily. OFC a smaller uy in means a smaller payout so ill have to look into some things.. I like some of the ideas about lowering the payouts so i might look into that. I will keep this character active for a while unless I need the slot for something else. If someone is interested in working out something like this with me, please contact me and we can work out the details. BTW you are all way off on who is who when it comes to thinking people that posted here are actually alts for me.
Special note to those that actually trusted and bought in. I appreciate your trust in my Char and the System whether you know who my main is or not. I appreciate the effort you put forth to try and help this get off of the ground. |

300m isk sent back to me confirmed, the other pilots who bought in who also got refunded should post in here to show that indeed this wasn't a scam. Indeed this was a good opportunity to invest your isk in a more creative manner for an excellent return. Too bad this got shut down I was having fun with it, gl in future ventures man.
