Incidently would you like to buy an Amarr Navy Badger Mk III?

Goons raise their members from freshly created pods recruited out of game. They are not looking for you as a 'good pilot' or potential member. They see you as a future mark.

It's always a scam, you'll pay 500 million security deposit, they'll offer to ship all your stuff to 0.0 and you'll see nothing in return.

They even document the scam on their wiki

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

well coming back to the game i figured k, goons are big, why not, and then that didnt work out so i put up for recruitment, then 2 guys came after me, 1 i know is legit, but its from the old alliance i was in... and i wanted to try something new since i was in that alliance for like 1.5 year...

the other was the test guy, something new so i said alright ill try this out..., but im pretty surprised in the end is all....

but as they say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me lol, so its really my fault especially now

You're adding some really good qualities to your profile for any potential recruiters who bother to look up your posts - after all, who wouldn't want someone who gets bored of their alliance, ditches them, and goes looking for someone else?

If you fall for a recruitment scam, you are not a "good player with value". The proper method for applying is available on both alliance's wiki, with a very clear step by step procedure, and even warnings about scams. You obviously didn't do your research, which pretty much flags you as a bad candidate.

not saying its the alliance, i was in a corporation i put much time into, then it started to fall apart, so i decided i needed a break....

then coming back to the game, i want to try something new... i was thinking wormhole space, but im not sure on that, it can be a hassle in the end

when i join a corp, im always in it for the long run or an alliance, i dont take people up on their give us a try for a week, i keep looking around until im sure thats what i want to join into


and above all, you quit the game for 4-5 months and not even think about it really.... yeah i forgot alot of the stuff and the general scams, that at this point i say im a idiot to...... which i am but nothin i can do lol,

So you didn't bother researching the Corp that was recruiting you? Being careful is a big part of succeeding in EvE.
