Private contract... maybe the issuer was just transferring ISK and the ship to an alt.


If not, then...

Um... It could be more a suggestion of an accident caused by language barrier if the person was not playing eve in their native language.

Well unless you are COCA man this contract is worth nothing to you.

Private contracts are used every day to transfer assets between alt characters.

I am assuming this player had an alt named COCA man.

If not i could have been a payment for services rendered although that doesn't look like such a deal.

It is possible this was a privately contracted sale and the player was drunk and accidentally put the cost in as a gift. But I do not see many players with that level of assets being that stupid.

Another possibility is his account got hacked and the hacker stole his jump freighter and 7.5 bil isk. But in that case I would have expected him to take everything.

Only logical conclusion is COCA man was Yuki's alt, or vise versa.

No need to over annalyse.
This isn't a terribly difficult mistake to make, you have 2 text boxes to enter in an amount directly underneath each other.
A miss-click without a double checking the lable, and suddenly-poor.

The fact you actually thought this guy scammed himself, means that you would probably have accepted a contract giving away everything, lol

kidding but..

OBVIOUSLY this is a guy transferring between alts, I have done it all the time.

easy to do If you have more than one client open and more than one account, (alts)

Doesn't show in game so must have been a private contract so this thread is an elaborate ruse.

Can't make a public contract only asking for stuff. That's literally the message you get.
