So almost a week ago, I posted that I was looking for an aliance for my corp. A character named Lobo Alfa msged me and we started talking about forming an alliance. We decided to bring a couple more corps into the fold. We all spent about 20 or so hours looking into websites, and teamspeak, maps, and 3rd party apps. It was decided that Lobo would form the holding corp and all 4 of us would pitch in on the alliance fee. So yesterday we each paid 250m, and today he informed us it was a scam.

Now credit where credit is due, I was gullable (not the first time) and got scammed. But somehow I feel like I came out ahead. Took me 5 minutes of work to get back my 250m, and imho that was the absolute crappiest scam ever.

Confirming that the crappiest scams ever are the ones where the scammer gets his isk.

that he did.. im pretty sure i announced he did to begin with so lets stop pretending im blind to some elusive truth. I got scammed, some other took my monies.. I find it amusing that someone would put that much effort into such a small payout.. You can be anything in eve, I wasnt aware we had criminal masterminds running around.

The way I see it, what you did was the equivilent of grinding standing to get a lvl 4 agents turning around and running level 1's, just seems silly, escpecially when one of the guys offered to pay you an additional 250m and you said no. That is criminal genius on par with Megamind (sry 2 toddlers, its all i get to watch now a days).
