I am terribly sorry for all of this, especially since it appears to be the fault of an ex-UNOUR member, making me clearly responsible, by proxy. Clearly he was unaware that you could have put this fine ship on the open market, saving him the trouble of having to dock up, find your name amoung the multitudes of unwashed filth inhabitating Dodixie, and open a trade window.

He may also have been unaware that station trades are one of the easiest form of scamming. He may have been unaware that you were likely going to remove the ship at the last moment and leave him sitting there with the bill. He was almost certainly unaware that you were asking signifantly less than market average for this fine ship, making his betrayal of your trust all the more hurtful.

With all this ignorance, it's easy to understand how he mis-typed the amount. I feel that, as his mentor and former overlord, I should apologize to you. Scamming with trade windows is a very difficult way to make a living, and I'm terribly sorry Charles Baker has caused you all this inconvenience.

If you would like to sue for damages, I will gladly be willing to settle out of court in the most honourable way possible.

So let me get this straight Pilot A posts on the forums that pilot B tried to scam him . Pilot A is such an idiot and is called out on his trolling and then called a scammer himself. Got a good laugh out of this.

More like Pilot B tries to scam Pilot A out of his Dominix Navy Issue. Pilot A, being a fine, upstanding EVE citizen then posts on the forums to inform us.

It's shameful people like you who condone trade window scamming. For shame, sir.

Now I was sitting in Dodixie trying to sell my Navy Dominix for 390M a special 10 minute price. Suddenly, a guy who presents himself as Charles Baker - "2 year vet", comes and asks for a contract. Since I didn't have the isk for a contract I try to convince him to trade me since it's free.

I put my ship in the trade window, worm heart that I made someone happy. Just as those feelings were rushing thru my veins I see the 390,000 isk sum appear. For those that do not know that is 1% of the original price. Beeing the real vet in the convo I imminently took a screenshot for the perpetrator to be added to the list of shameful scammers:

I advise... No, I urge you to be extremly careful when dealing with Charles Baker. I would avoid him completely.

TL:DR

Charles Baker - scammer alert!!! Click for proof


You suck at maths. 390k is not 1% of 390m.

You're a scammer & a horrible person.

Hey i'm just saying, i'd have gave him money for an air-tight contract and saved him this hassle, but he is a spacepoor scammer who spent all his money on a Dominix Navy issue just to link it in trade windows, Also this lets get this thread to five pages.

If you're gonna be an asshat and smugly explain something trivial to people, at least get it right.

I will buy your Navy Domi right now for 100 times of the 390,000 isk amount, which, for those that do not know that is 100% of the 1% price.
