Same story as every other scam investment corp, monthly return and no collateral.


EDIT: NOW OFFERING 18% MONTHLY RETURNS! 6% wasnt drawing enough suckers in.


Anyone else been seeing the 2 month old CEO spamming in local across high sec? This thing reeks of Phaser Inc knock off. Everyone do the community a favor and place a bounty on the corp.


Anyone invested yet?

yea even the design of that scam page looks surprisingly similar to the eve-website + no disclaimer. I' can`t imagine how hard it is for those people to make isk regulary if they feel impelled enough to extend a scam like this.

If you view the source code of the create new account page it references an IP address that belong to the Department of Defense.

At that point I stopped :)

Well, That's a new Rep-Grinding tactic...

Why do people always claim that the lack of collateral is a scam? You guys must have trouble in the real world.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Not always, but there is at least the credible threat of consequences in the real world.

Exactly.

Sounds like there are only real consequences if you can definitively identify the person (trying to) steal your money.

In EVE, you can't definitively identify anyone, especially considering this.

Also, the whole "It's-a-Game" part.

Actually Eve players are perfect candidates for several things in the real world with how we were trained/conditioned to not trust anyone, be suspicious, etc. I would tell you what they were but I don't trust you with that information, you have to find out on your own as I don't want to welcome competition.

BTW my sig says it all.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.
