I don't know if anyone else is aware of this, but I thought I'd bring it up.

It's a recruitment scam.

They send you an email saying that they're recruiting for Goonswarm, they have a website where you put in your api and apply and even provide an application status.

And then they pressure you to start moving your stuff to their home system before you get accepted.

So, if Goonswarm offers you a spot in their corporation, it's a scam. Don't even talk to them.

They only scam bad players.

Good players get paid to not kill them.

Goonswarm does NOT scam. They offer a free test to see how brillant you are. Too bad, you failed it.

Then one of your people is using your corp (yes, yours) to scam people.

Either way, people should avoid goonswarm recruiting.

If only there was a search engine where you could type in "Goonswarm Recruitment" and see that it was a scam from the search box, and the first result.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

OP, if your post is genuine, welcome to eve! Goons are trolls of the finest quality. Their scams are common knowledge :)

As long as everyone else know, I guess.

Never understood the kind of people who get off of this kind of thing. I guess there's a whole federation of them.

Never done business with Erotica 1, but it's always a joy to see her active in local chat. One of the few people scrolling their adverts that puts a smile on my face.

Also gets high marks for being a creator of emergent gameplay content.
