Ah, a pyramid scheme. I was wondering when I'd see one of these on EVE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme


the fact that most of these proles think this is a pyramid scheme, or that this is the first time someone's done something like this, in eve shows that they are either brand-new to the game or are totally ignorant of what's going on around them. a good example of a pyramid scheme (also not the first) would be the eve bank. you can google it.

pyramid schemes are based around bringing in more isk than you regularly pay out. this is just giving you a commission for making someone feel stupid. there's an enormous difference.

You could offer to pay for referrals as well and hire a team of people to build spreadsheets. Make sure to offer multiple levels of referrals so that you too can be labeled a pyramid schemer.

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

Just how dumb do you have to be to trust random strangers with your ISK, with no guarantee whatsoever???

Unless it's Erotica 1 obiously, who is a well-known businesswoman.

Guys let's not hijack this thread. Please put all accusations and appreciation in the warning about slanderous trolls thread right here in C&P.

Here, we are debating the merits of fabulous website www.eve-bazaar.com where you can buy discount ships and make commission spreading the good word.

Edited my first post as I was bored enough to test if this was a scam or not. Actually had the goods delivered, was pleasantly surprised.

Edit: So I thought this was a scam, but given that I'd come across a couple billion this week I thought 'why not test it'. Was in need of Lachesis hulls, so I ordered one to test the site.

Delivered in six days as promised at 10% under market. OK, looks good. Let's try four more. If they are going to scam me, well, I can wear that loss and I'll just refer people to make the ISK back.

Yep, delivered again.


Not saying that I'd trust the site as much as I'd trust Erotica 1, Chribba or James 315, but they definitely seem legit. I gave them the opportunity to scam me for 416 million ISK and they didn't bite. I'm honestly inclined to believe that this site is a bunch of 'Minerals I Mine Are Free' useful idiots.

Just placed another order, this time for two Phobos hulls.

Well I have to admire their pyramid scheme. They're probably selling ships at cost to advertise it. EDIT: Oops, of course I endorse this product or service! Totally not a scam!

Bump for a good service.

Can confirm that these are good guys and happy to refer them to everyone. They just delivered a Proteus to me in under 15 minutes from payment to contract in game.

Since you're reading this, how about you click through to eve-bazaar and make a deposit. You'll save a heap on market value as it really is a legit business.

Well I'm ashamed to say that I dive directly into that scam :)

Its a masterpiece of Art I must admit. I don't consider myself as naive or dumb generally, I stay away from in game scam and never been scammed 'til today. Congrats on this one.
I think they rely on the fact scammed (dunno if this very english :) peoples are too ashamed to confess they have been trapped like idiots, I don't because its very well done. Some scams I saw in jita 's local are so intelligently built, I'm still amazed to see how human mind can be creative to take profit of other's naiveté…
I will not help to trap other players because I don't really like this game play, but … well, anyway, have fun with my money guys :)

And to all emo peoples… take a breath, ITS ONLY A GAME :)

Um no to this. I think Ero would admit that I don't always imply the nicest things about her. I respect her business sense, but not always her methods.

But if you are smart, you'll take opportunities that come along.

I received very quick service through Eve-bazaar, totally consistent with the professional image of their website.

You should try it. It works as advertised.

Here's proof.

i love the audacity of this scam

send them cash and you literally get a message that states

"Hi! We stole your money, but don't worry! Find other people and scam them, and we will share some of the profit with you! Just trust us, we will deliver!"

Says something about human nature. :)

No and I already wrote that. I tried it, it worked and that's all there is to it.

They have a referral scheme and based on my experience I'm happy to support it.

It's as simple as that and I am in no way associated with the business, nor the characters or players behind it.

Well scipio, you need to called cat a cat…
Helping original scammers to trap other players in exchange of money (or your prot in this case) make you become a scammer too… That simply as 1+1=2

its not a big deal though :) … but don't try to remove all sense of responsibility from your acts bud.
