Is there any chance we can get a Goon to answer with some stats (Lets face it, we love stats)
How many people fall for it?
How much isk do you rake in due to this?

With all these threads around it makes me think that its not tech moons that sustain your empire its stupid people...

Leave tech moons alone, nerf stupid people :)

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

Look,

No need to block me - because I'm not the raging type. So I'm putting it on the forums instead:

I don't care that I "wasn't accepted" (scammed), just next time take my ISK and tell me instead of making me wait.

You learn something new everyday and I learned not to trust the goons.

I hope nobody makes the same mistake I did...

-DK

what you are missing is that blocking you instead of telling you upfront that you got scammed will make most recruits contact another goon "recruiter" - who then recognizes that the security deposit was insufficient or that the previous recruiter was a scammer and stole the deposit.

Because he doesn't feel good about making you pay twice, because the other recruiter being a scumbag is not really your fault and because he cares about the good name of his alliance the second recruiter might even offer to pay part of the new (higher) deposit out of his own pocket (or offer you a sweet deal that involves paying some head recruiter to look the other way).

Stopping contact without a word gives another goon the chance to pick up the remaining crumbs (and maybe you might be desperate enough to restock your wallet with a PLEX or two, stranger things have happened).

Greetings capsuleer,

Correct. You are so awesome that you fell for the best documented recruitment scam in the history of video gaming. It is so well documented they even list it on their recruitment page.

I have high hopes for your future in New Eden. An upbeat attitude combined with deep pockets and a lack of research / common sense. It's a brilliant combination for New Eden.

Welcome.
