Yeah... I don't belong to the CODE fanbase, but I've seen some purple stuff killmails on their website that simply beggar belief.

Also; if just 1 guy falls for it, you're in. Like those Nigerian Princes looking to offload a massive heritage you've earned and require "banking fees" to tranfer to your account.... 1 dude is all they need.



You what? They weren't genuinely wanting my services...? Shocked

....They were asking other people aswell!!!! Evil

Put simply, it's bait for the hook. Someone tries that isk scammer with a low amount, they're almost certainly going to get it back doubled. That puts the idea of seriousness into the morons head, thinking about all the money they could have if they give just a bit more. Sure enough, this inevitably leads to some people going for the big score. After all, you get more money back that way, right? Wrong!

Thus, another victim is born. That fact that these scumbags are so prevalent must indicate they are successful, at least to some degree. Morons really need to stop feeding these scammers.

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.
