I have been scammed! I saw the OP's title and thought maybe SCAM was a secret spy agency or something. So disappointed. Sad

This thread was answered on page 1, surprised it's still going. Must be slow on the forums at the moment.

I forgot to read your post or any of the replies but the correct way to write you title would be "I have been SCAMMED AND IM ********" Pirate

Quite honestly, need a higher caliber of trolling threads, this is disappointing, below the standard. Straight

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just shows that some people shouldn't be playing EVE.

They lack the brain cells to understand stuff.
And when they make a mistake (hint: what ever happens, it's ALWAYS your OWN fault) they run to the forum crying like an emo raging teen.

Guess what, scamming is allowed in EVE. Live with it or better unsub and go play one of the other rollercoaster MMO's.

It always amazes me when people whine about being scammed, there is only one conclusion to draw and that is these people are stupid. I have been playing EvE since 2005 and I have Never, not once, fallen for a single scam.

Maybe CCP should make new players take an IQ test before signing up.

The scam is the IQ test

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

lol, new players trying to market PvP
learn to play before you make these ridiculous accusations.



So you expect everyone to read every single post in to the forum before you actually play the game? You dumb enough to shove this off


It's common sense, in life and in game, that anything which sounds too good to be true is probably not true. People failing to behave by that maxim are the target of scammers, both in life and in games like EVE.

Before you say it, "the law", think again. Many activities where you sell someone tha idea of making lots of money with little effort only if you invest in X are, well, not criminal.

Honestly.. I think they should remove the margin trading skill.

Not because of this guy but because I'm sure that he's not the first nor the last person to get scammed by it.

I bet the skill is mostly used by scammers, real traders don't need the benefits that skill provides.

Not particularly, i'm sure if you guys really got into trading when you first started you'd get scammed as well. But hey, my penis is bigger than yours so there!!!

OP I am sorry to hear you have been scammed, that's a bummer. But don't worry I want to help you recover your losses. I would be willing to sell you 2,500 units of Caldari Navy Nanite Repair Paste at half price for only 200,000 isk p/u.

When I first started trading I failed the IQ test, only the once though. I still own a badger, "FOOLS GOLD", with a very expensive, very useless thing in it that nobody wants to buy.
