A excellently executed scam, fully allowed within the EULA of EvE online. Well done!

While I despise what Erotica1 did and the whole bonus room thing, this doesn't even come close to it.

Do I feel sorry for the guy? I'm having trouble with that. Everyone knows that EVE is a harsh place full of scammers and such. The amount of naivity and stupidity shown by the victim is truly astonishing. He should've known better. You don#t give that kind of cash away to people you don't know and can't trust. You wouldn't do that IRL, so why does anyone think it is a good idea ingame? It against common sense.

So yeah, sorry, but this is his own fault.

Could've had a V8, I mean, should have used Chribba.

Very sensetive topic tbh, i can't even read the whole story. The way it was represented is confusing me. looks like eve24 loosing it's popularity with only posting silly reports of null sec fights along with SC kills and be a pro-PL oriented source of info.

This scammed guy, did he deserve it? have to say Yes with only one exception, it is only possible due to his nature "kind and open" person in regard of any individuals he interacted. Otherwise he came a full ****** who didn't learn what Eve is.

Scam sure, Erotica1 level it isnt. So nothing to sensationalize there imo.

As much as I dont like the scamming aspects of Eve the guy pretty much handed it over in the hopes of glorious riches. Its one of the things Ive struggled with over the years tbh. That fine line between being a true douche and giggling at peoples stupidity. But yeah giving up full API keys is what did that poor fool in.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Yeah,the recordings aren't of some poor (gullible and naive as he was ) guy in distress with compounding psychological pressure being applied.

Well executed scam.

Seriously, if you trust people you just met with a hundred billion ISK, and no way to validate what they're telling you, you're misunderstanding the nature of this game.

I trust Chribba. Everyone else, including my own alts, is suspect.

Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you. Also, iderno

I like the part where dude said he was petitioning ccp to get some isk reimbursement.



How can a dude play for YEARS amass over 100BILL and still still STILL not understand this is legal/allowed?

Its kind of telling if you think about it.


Also he kind of deserved it for listening to Rap music.
Dont he know bout them gangstas?

EVE is a game played by humans, humans are oddly susceptible to scams.
Quote:
FINRA's fraud susceptibility research reveals some surprising facts. For example, the more educated and wealthier you are, the more likely you are to invest in a potentially fraudulent scheme. And men, because they are generally less risk averse, are more vulnerable than women.

Hey look, a dude trying to "Pull a Ripard" in an attempt to meta-game away people he doesn't like in a video game.

This is a pretty ****** move... the guys that did this should feel ashamed.... scamming isnt all that bad but its also usually for a few 100m this is ridiculous.... completely unfair even in eve... also using teamspeak and things to decieve this poor guy is even worse...

The guy was genuinely trying to help out the corp and you guys probably made him leave the game...or if not made him unable to trust anyone in game again... Pretty unfair
