If someone would be so kind as to sticky this. I shelled out a good amount of ISK to get this conversation to happen.

Noobs, don't fall for dumb crap. And here is why, in plain sight. I've been in this game long enough to know a scam, and decided to do something about one of them, so you all don't get roped into this kind of thing.
Flying since 2007... so sometimes, this is how bored I get with EVE

Read up and educate yourselves.

You're a pretty smart guy, thanks for figuring this out for the rest of us.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

/sarcasm.


It is strong with this one. Big smile

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Sorry to hear about your apartment. I'm sure it'll all work out ok.
Shame about the isk though - but it's a game and all that, you can earn it back again in the next couple of weeks while you're bored.

Target audience is noobs that fall for this, not smartaleks like us.

Jeeze, man.... can't a guy have some nonstandard fun and attempt to grief the scammers?

Don't be sorry about the isk.... didn't you pick up that I did this on purpose? :p

Thanks for the well-wishes about my flat, though. I swear, I didn't start the fire.

I always send them 0.01 or 69 ISK.

Only a few actually oblige to send it back doubled.

You need to read their bio for the rules.

I'm kind of curious how you intended to grief someone by giving them space-cash.

That's my point. Their "rules" don't matter. They don't pay out, and noobs need to know this.

Plus, earning all that isk back will make this game interesting, right now.

Damn, I knew I should've sent 10,000,000 in the first place.

Bad publicity, and a little bit of exposure.... force them to find a different way to scam folks.

Why does ANYONE grief people by any method?

The rules are usually quite clear. "1.5 BILL" is not an actual amount of space-cash, hence it will never be doubled.

Who actually reads their bios, unless you want to mess with them?
I know I certainly didn't, until I decided "ok... it's time to clear you out of Dodixie"....

knew I'd get comments like this..... look at that smirk on my character's face? Does that LOOK like the face of someone who cares about his reputation or bank account?
