If a master tradesman were to give away all his secrets and wares to everyone who asked, how would he remain the master of his domain?

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Still trying to figure out how to do a shell game without it being too obvious. Yeah, I've seen the contract scams with three that are great deals but already taken, and the fourth is a scam, but that's too easy to see through.

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO SCAMMING 101:

1. Visit Jita
2. Observe the scams played here over the course of 20 minutes or more
3. Swear upon oath you won't try that nonsense so long as you draw breath
4. Promptly leave Jita and wave on the way out
5. Begin your own scams with none of the Jita scam flavor and a hint of originality ( Alts help )
6. Profit
7. Repeat
8. See Step 6 and 7

Browsing the internet a while back I stumbled across a website that offered a comprehensive guide to scamming. Intrigued and eager to learn more I purchased a copy. Still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.....

Go over to the Market Discussion. Get set up with a few loans of increasing value. Gain trust then post a really huge offering then profit. How a lot have made a killing.

Effective scamming requires imagination. No one can teach you that.

1. Learn to Google.
2. Sit in Jita.

Seriously, google and Jita will tell you tons about scams.

It's all about the right mindset: how does someone profit from this?
