EVE General Discussion

That's not a scam, you just paid a premium for a quality product.

I bought WoW

You all might not believe this but there was this one time this guy had come to the house and knew about how much I hates squirrels gettin into the bird feeders. Well he offered me this feed house he had that was 100% squirrel proof and all he needed was the money. So I didnt mind payin a little bit up front for a contraption that worked as he said. Well he brought the thing over and I have go to tell you what, it worked fer about an hour until the little rodents ganged up on it and figured out how it worked.

I think squirrels have this amazing way to figure out how in invade things and get food. This is why we need a sure fire way of gettin rid of the furry rats! They even get into peoples homes! I seen it I tell you! Someone I know were thinkin they had someone breakin into their homes only to find out it were a family of squirrels livin in their roof and commin down from time to time to get some of their food.

My Grandson Billy came by earlier! He came with his class to sing for all the residents here. Although I didnt enjoy the songs at all, I did however enjoy seein the boy. We get cookies for dinner every day and Im not a big cookie eater, never have been. You see when I was younger we didnt have a lot of money and cookies were one of those things we got as a special treat. But now a days people can just go to the store and get cookies whenever they want and I think thats not a very good thing. People seem to eat a lot of bad things bad for em now.

Jim from down the hall always is eatin out of the vending machine. I tried to tell him that he should watch it cause he isnt helpin his health at all. But just like the staff around here, he just tells me to worry about myself and not him. Oh well...

Never been scammed, but once got handed 3.5 Billion Isk for nothing by a dumb market scammer who got buying and selling confused and bought my autocannon skillbook for 3.5Bn instead of listing his own skillbook at the scam price

When i was a nub i bought a t3 with the sub skillbooks instead of the actual subs.
Apart from that, no.

I have been scammed so far 3 times in eve.

1st when i was new and someone renamed a atron taranis and sold to me for 15m

2nd from a friend who i trusted with 13b isk, i was more upset I lose a 2 years time friend then the isk tbh.

3rd was actually a few days ago from the manufacture kasha guy i was too quick to click and bought a punisher for 33m instead of a prophecy. me and my friend laughed bout it.

Eve is a game, and given my profession, and what I do i need to not only dish it out but take it well also.

Not yet, I am however confident that I will be scammed soon by one of my fellow colleagues. If not I'll be deeply dissapointed.

Happend to me as well, but with a "Navy Domi".
The sad part is I checked everything and saw that the Info said Domi instead of Navy Domi.
But then again I never traded through trade window before.
I also thought of reverse scamming him by entering 200k instead of 200M.
However I'm nice and would probably be the worst scammer ever.

I contacted him afterwards when it was obvious it was a scam once I got the Domi and he said his API shows different and asked me to send back the Domi so he could double check it.

I didn't fell for this at least...

So after all it was a 130M lesson I learned.

Buddy I have no idea how that dude associated you as one of my alts but its rather funny that you think I would be behind this. Mildly paranoid don't you think?

Move on with your eve life~

Let's be honest. Most / if not all of us have fallen for the great contract scam. (the one where someone put up hundreds of contracts at the same time and because contracts used to be listed by time and not isk, you could make it sell for whatever you want almost)

Aside from that, if you go by the rule "If it's too good to be true..." then you can't go wrong. That and never rushing into any buys.
