I take great offense to this! Everybody knows we recruit by blowing up people hauling all their worldly possessions to Rahadalon, then spamming 7o until they relent and become one of us. No money involved as our targ- er, applicants rarely have enough to be worth extracting.

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

Please stop discouraging legitimate applicants from applying.


Sorry Old'Bean, didn't mean to put people off.

I wish you all the best in your future recruiting.


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.



Actually Scooter is a scammer too, avoid the Goons is my suggestion.

Please refrain from spamming "o7" ever again in local with me present. The last thing I want to be in Eve is a smoldering wreck.

For the OP, might I offer that given the current political hostilities between the nulsec entities now is a time for exceptional paranoid recruiters. There was likely a mix up or perhaps an api linkup to something nefarious. Instead of coming to the c&p community with hands empty of proof perhaps you should follow the well posted and document channels of communication within the various CFC entities.

Unless of course the more obvious answer is that you are in fact a spai who's only real purpose here is to malign these individuals as well as goons as a whole. 500m or a bil (which is it your story changes) is a small price next to a mans reputation.

OP you should be ashamed of yourself.

Two scams that people will still fall for.

1. ISK Doubling
2. Goonswarm Recruitment scams.

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.


Sorry to hear that you got scammed, Cannot help you. But our Official (senior) Recruitment Director can perhaps help you if you can show the logs

look up the players they are members of the goons.

what is with all this proof bollox, its well known they do this, i was just posting a few names that tried it. if you want proof go in to the recruiment channel in a newish toon and post your looking for a corp, my last count was 3 of goons tried to recruit me and all three used the same script " well there is a place for you in goonwaffe" i do it just for a laugh now to waste their time and tell them i know of the scam and they leave the conversation.

if you want proof try it.

The only proof I see here is that Goon recruitment scam complaints written by Goon alts still receive attention, even in 2013.

One way you can check for "proof" if someone is a legitimate recruiter is to look at the corp descriptions.

Most corps will post who to contact for things like recruiting, diplo, or even directors names. Often times there is also a public channel you can join to ask questions.

If none of this information is posted then you might want to look further.

Also.... there is HUGE competition for new recruits so it's literally out of the question that anyone legitimate would want you to pay to get in regardless of corp or alliance. There's the take home message for you.

Is he related to Waldemar Schlepp, the amarrian ballet dancer? If so, proper authorities will be notified.

We are an honourable spaceship e-bushido corporation that would never partake in such actions. I also heard that Max Pathfinder's last corporation suffered a large theft shortly before his departure.

I'm a little confused by you necro'ing your thread but clearly you don't have a very solid grasp on sarcasm either, so I'll let that slide.

If you try posting "names that tried it" you may as well just look up who in the recruitment channel are goons and go with that.

You sir, need to loose at least another 4-4.5 bil depending of how much you paid the looney toons to let you in, before we consider inviting you to our corp. Lol

Other wise, you are on your way keep at it P

One day the rest of you will realize 99% of these threads are fake.
Created by Goons with alts to keep their 'space baddie' reputation going.

That said:
It is brilliant propaganda/self promotion.
