EVE General Discussion

I too am a scammer. Please feel free to prove it any time you are bored and want to help new players. In fact, I would invite anyone else who is interested in protected noobs to do so as well.

Next time I'm bored and want to blow 1.2 bil, find me in lowsec, because I'll be raring to lose a Proteus.

So did you prove that ISK doubling is a scam? Or that ISK doubling is a scam that really works?

I rather doubt that you deterred your spammer. But I'm confident you have encouraged a whole bunch of new scammers.

If it helps at all, I promise my next blog post will be about lowsec piracy..... the only question is what kind of ship do I want to lose.

Who votes for a Hyperion?

Though well intentioned I feel the process is perhaps a bit misguided and fruitless.

1- you have reinforced the scam
2- such a scam runs on the greed of the particular player, you are not effecting that, nor can you reasonably hope to
3- players who actually get sucked in to 2x scams are not likely to be reading your post, if they do they will delete or distort 'facts' that fall outside of the model of things that have them fall for the scam in the first place.

The noob missions should have an ISK doubler with limited negative impact and a station agent that then tells you how stupid you were.

Wait...that's a scam? Uh-oh....um....I mean...uh...I knew that!...yeah...

That was me. And I didn't double your isk. You gave me a bil in trade for my anal virginity. It was a dark time in my life.... I was married back then.

As my Bio clearly explains, ISK doublers are bloody liars.

They will give you TRIPLE the money you give them.

About 4 1/2 yrs ago, back when I was a young capsuleer, I took a chance on one of those 'Double Your ISK' things to the tune of 15 mill. That was pretty much my wallet amount. After I sent the ISK, the scammer did a private convo with me asking me to do 100 mill, Of course he didn't know I didn't have any more ISK. I simply told him to first double the 15 mill and then I'll gladly do the 100 mill. The scammer told me he was in convo with others and would do it shortly, then he left the private convo.

All attempts at trying to re-establish communications was futile. I then placed the scammer on watch list and set him to red standing. I then stayed logged into the game for long lengths of time, at least 16 hrs a day, always looking for him. When he logged back into the game, I used a locator agent and quickly warped over to the system he was in and spammed Local chat linking his name with the words = Liar, Thief, Scammer. Eventually he left the system and after I did a mad dash jumping into neighboring systems, I found him again and started doing the same thing again, spamming Local with my message about the scammer. He soon logged off.

However, I remained vigilant and whenever he came online, I was soon in the same system posting my message in Local. This went on for about a week, then one day he sent me a mail message saying I had won, deposited 15 mill in my wallet and told me to leave him alone.

Sure, I didn't get the 'Double Your ISK' but at least I got my initial amount back. Granted it took me some time to do that but in the end vengeance was mine. I've heard it said before that vengeance is best when served cold but I'm here to tell you that it's way better when served fresh, hot off the grill.
