Stupid people like you are the reason scammers exist. Uninstall the game please.


What scam, was totally legit, she payed up a few minutes ago.

If this is true, then please adjust your OP and the title.

Of mild interest is your change of pronouns. I take it steam is no longer jetting from your ears.

edit: ah, top line of OP shows this.

As someone who has actually won at that game, I can tell you straight up, you did not play by the rules, and you lost.

Furthermore, "Either pay up, or... well you know"? No, I don't, actually. What is your Hyperion-flying, ship-spinning ass going to do about it? In case you don't respond, I'll just spill the beans right here:

Not a damn thing.

props to OP for opening this for public.
i'm pretty sure there is lots of scammed people around (i know few of them) but usually it's not an easy to just say "hey, i was scammed".

Sure there will be lots of trolls and idiots who will say "Erotica is legit" but you already know them for badposting.

Simple rule: never trust to any doublers. If not sure -> block person. You will lose nothing and may evade some loss instead.

What's so bad about learning valuable life lessons in a harmless game?

I'm sure Ero appreciates the donation though!


So if you donate -450M ISK, she gives you back -900M ISK?

Fascinating.

Would you give real money to a first anonymous and masked person you meet on the street of ghetto in Brazil and demand 2 or 3 times back what you gave?

Yes, its like that in the game too.

And even whan someone sporadically will double it, it will be small amount and only to add credibility to a scammer.

Erotica is a scammer with fancy "rules", no doubt here.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

It's people like you who draw up some false dichotomy between "100% legit" and "always scams" that are the idiots in this thread.

I had isk doubled by Erotica once. This doesn't mean that she will also double your isk but neither does it mean that I am a troll. It's just a factual statement.

If I had to take a guess then I would say that the share of false "Erotica is legit" posts is about equal to the number of truthful posts of this kind.

And I have no doubts whatsoever that there are many false reports of Erotica scamming (as her victims tend to be both greedy and wary of being scammed - which basically guarantees that they will break rules in the bonus room).

Personally I am inclined to believe that there may be a (relatively small) number of actual scam victims but I doubt that Erotica has to resort to scamming very often as she just tends to pile on additional hoops for her target to jump through until the target either makes a misstep or refuses to go along any further.

Off the top of my head I can't recall a forum thread in which the victim of the alleged scam did fully cooperate with Erotica. Most "scam victims" seem to refuse when Erotica claims to have overlooked their first transfer and asks them to send the same amount a second time.

Yes, she does.

She makes money from the idiots who can't follow the rules.

There are a lot of greedy people out there. ^_^

Erotica 1 didn't pay up? Obviously she's a scammer and this proves it.

Erotica 1 did pay up? Obviously it's a scam to get people to believe the original scam isn't a scam and this proves that she's a scammer.


My opinion of Erotica 1 remains unchanged.

Reika is actually an alt of Erotica 1,
but the Erotica 1 character goes into other ways.

She needs a new char active on the forums for other things.

Like trolling on a higher level. ^_^

What is the point of this post?

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"

Hopefully I can put matters to rest this evening. During the login fiasco after dt, I went to sleep and slept all day. Nobody evemailed me about this thread, and I didn't even notice until a few minutes ago.

I will be home in about 2 hours and will check my wallet. If the OP did in fact send a proper investment, I will pay out. I have no idea why she later says I doubled her isk, because that is not true. I was not logged in to even see the investment.

I am very excited though, because around downtime we were close to another lucky 100th client. It would truly make my day if she is the one to win a bonus round. We need a happy story of a winner showing me complete faith and winning big. If she is that person, I trust that we can have a thorough forum post from her detailing her experience.

I can't wait to get home!

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