Not Jita scam but I once paid 880 mil for a shuttle. Been avoiding this one for years, but one night too many beers, needed shuttle quick and there you go.

I think the biggest scam of all is how they get people to buy more than one account "just to survive".

The worst part is, the victims of this scam perpetuate it by saying "well, in order to survive in this game, you need a scout alt, an indy alt, a tackle alt, a PVP alt, a high sec mission/incursion alt to pay for the PVP alt...blah blah blah".

One of the reasons why this game is not hitting big time in subs, yet remains top of the genre is due to this scam, because most people see it as such.

Scams do work, if it didn't people wouldn't bother in the first place.

I personally find it is boring to do and having to spam post contracts constantly is rather tedious.


I'm certain many people have fallen for a scam before, may not be in this game or recently, but I'm sure that many have fallen for a scam.

I fell for a scam back when i was in middle school playing Runescape. I gave my best sword to a high lvl player on the promises that he'll allow me into his clan, he logged off and blocked me.

I did however report it. He got banned and I got my sword back.

I once won 1 of every navy faction frigate from Jita local...it pays to watch the feed, sometimes people give stuff away for trivia etc.

I myself occasionally give away stacks of t2 ammo for correctly answering classic cartoon trivia!


That said...you should probably ignore Jita local chat anyways.
