"Except they want a 'security' deposit, as well as 2.6 bil in assets"

Any and all corps that ask for a Deposit is a scam bro come on after a year you couldn't figure this out?

You should have said "ha ha, you got me, but i still want to join the corp" then work your way slowly up the ranks, then clean them out in a year.


This.

Assuming OP isn't trolling, of course... these stories are unbelievable, as I find it hard to believe so many people are this gullible.

This is what they did to you:

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Scams_in_Eve#Recruitment_Scams

This is probaly what you are trying to do:

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Scams_in_Eve#Begging

Also this is why people stay in NPC corps.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

You have played the game long enough to obtain 2.4 bil, yet you didn't learn the first rule of EVE? Shocked

Well you don't need isk for that.

You could recover your losses from this in a fraction of the time if you find a trustworthy 0.0 industry corp which is recruiting. They're rare, like the elusive yeti, but do exist. Just keep looking.

If you are genuine and want to get into capital production send a mail to cpu939 and tell him I sent you. Link this thread. He is one of the very few I would unquestioningly trust in new eden.

I hope to one day see an article in TheMittani.com about how Krank Jordan made off with several supercaps he was "building" for people.

Find out how they really recruit when they are not scamming.

Make an alt they they will want.

Get recruited.

AWOX them ( destroy or steal as much of their stuff as possible ).

Anytime you join a nullsec corp leave everything you own in hisec and just purchase ships you need in null.

You could've easily fit up a cheap ratting ship and made 2.6bill in under 2 weeks.

I'm just gonna say this now....don't ever contract your assets to ANYONE. Ever.

Get a cyno alt and train carriers/jump freighters on your main and haul the stuff yourself.

Wow. I tell you what... it makes me feel a little better about the half billion I lost when people start losing 2.6 - I do get how easily enticed people can be by.... certain corp offerings, but most people will tell you that any corp that is asking for a "security deposit" is either not worth joining, or laughing all the way to the bank while they leave you high and dry.

maybe start with a procurer?

how do people who can have such ships and money, fall for such obvious scams?



Maybe, yeah, an I'm an idiot, I shouldnt have trusted him
