HI Guys,

though i would name a few scammers out there, they say they recruit for goonwaffe, they send you to a website to sign up and get approved then ask for a security deposit of 500m or 1 bil say your in then apply in the game to join the corp and decline your app. when asked ok fine i failed what ever i have my cash back they they hold you to ransom over the things you have already had moved by their freighter pilot and demand another 500 mil to get your stuff back. They are 100% scammers.


toon names are

Reginald Schlepp = Frieghter pilot
Kelfa Xaljite = Recruitment director, total scum i got lots of emails from this guy.
Luther Chuggs = recruitment officer, a very good scammer has all the jpegs and gift of the gab you can think of.

-10 all three.

A Goon recruitment scam you say? This is new and interesting information.

You will of course be able to provide proof that you are not besmirching innocent capsuleers names.

Hello friend,

I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you, especially since we have just purged a large amount of scammers from the corporation. Unfortunately some people do slip through the net, but if you file a grievance here, we will launch an investigation in to this heinous crime against our honour & have you reimbursed as soon as possible.

I have at least a couple questions.

1. You say they claimed to be recruiters. What do you mean by this? Did they just say they were, or did you have credible reasons to believe they were?

2. You said the deposit was either 500m or a billion, but did not say what you paid if anything.

Is it possible there is just some misunderstanding or confusion? I certainly do suggest you escalate this further at the link provided above if there is merit.

I just want you to be absolutely certain the recruiters are scammers before going that route. It would be a rocky start to say the least if they were actually legit.

Anyway, I hope you get this all ironed out, and I look forward to flying with you.

Sorry to hear you were ripped off. Goons are like that.

Since TEST outsourced their recruiting, I've been an authorized recruiter for them.

PM me a full API if you'd consider joining. No ISK yet. I'll see if you'd pass their criteria before any ISK changes hands.

So OP... how much research did you do before handing over 500mil ISK and your stuff to a stranger?

I mean I know its quite a bit of work but I did a 'google'

Let me google that for you

If you then click on the top entry, titled 'Joining GoonWaffe - GoonWiki'...... Now granted this has taken a full 15 seconds now, hang in there, all your hard work will pay off in the end.

Once you get to the webpage, in bright red text, are the words

"If you gave isk to join GoonWaffe then you were scammed and you're **** out of luck."

Maybe you should have done some research!


Oh and BTW...

Posting this isnt really informing EVE how this is a scam (even my grandma knows about this scam). All it does is makes other Corps aware of how dumb you have been. Better hope the next corp you try to get into doesn't do any research using your name!

Jint, just because you aren't Goon material doesn't mean the OP isn't.

Please stop discouraging legitimate applicants from applying.

He is not a recruiter. However, if you are in need of one, I know a guy.

Scooter McCabe is his name. Friends call him Scooter, but you can call him Dr. McCabe until you get to know him better.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

He doesn't deserve the ISK if he'll happily hand it to the first person with a clipboard and safety-helmet. Dear dear...

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

This is impossible.

Humbug, I declare, pure humbug!

Everyone knows Goons are Honorable Internet Spaceship Pilots and always have been. These space ruffians must have been Brave Newbies, or TEST, or even possibly......RUSSIANS.

Fweddit comes to mind, actually.

*puffs on pipe*

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)
