I guess the fact he made a post about scamming a mere 400m off a goon, basically shows how high he thinks of goons.

Being able to scam 400m from a goon is :thebigthing:

It's more telling that he is boasting about a scam that, from all appearances, isn't going to even get that 400m unless the goon decides to go along with it. The goon is just going to take the package to Mittanigrad and the collateral will be refunded.

Then the OP will be down 1,000 ISK, plus the fees for setting up the contract.

Unless there is something else going on here. In which case a boast is no good unless you explain it so the plebs like myself can understand.

He did not get kicked, he just cleared his tracks and probably already purchased a new account with the billions of isks available to him, and you failed horribly by the way.

OMG, I scam a new player, I am so cool. Yeh really? I really wonder what sets off the metal detectors first when you pass through one, the lead in your ass or the sheit in your brains.

Eh, people are dumb. 10 years down the line people are still being scammed, it's not that amazing you scammed a new guy in the biggest group in the game.

still 0/10


learn to read dude, the picture showed he accepted the contract i made private to him "in progress"



He can get that done as a rush job for much cheaper than 400m and much quicker than 24hr, so enjoy not collecting your 400m



Lol... Whoosh


You do realise, if he actually delivers/delivered it, the collateral is refunded?

There's no "whoosh" here, as much as you're grasping at straws for there to be one.

Maybe you don't know that Goons can dock in VFK v0v

e: I think you're confused, and think that we're under the impression there is actually an Abaddon BPO in the can. No, we don't think that.
You'd have to jump 27 times from Jita to VFK to save that 400mil. You'd earn 1,000 ISK for your troubles.

Do you understand why he beat you now?

Goons: 0

A member of the CFC can fly from Jita to VFK in about 8 minutes. None of which goes to the fact that the guy literally gloated about the 'scam' whilst it was still possible for the guy to get out of it. He could have actually completed the contract whilst scamming the next guy, so there was potentially no loss in it for him at all.

Seriously, are you pubbies so desperate for schadenfreude that this counts as a win?

The way I understand it, OP convinced the Goon that the package contained a billion+ or whatever worth blueprint whereas in truth there is only some worthless Datasheet or some other 0,1 m3 crap, relying on Greed of the recruiter to break the contract and thus forfeiting the 400 mil collateral.
Even if the Goon had actually fulfilled the contract, OP would have just lost whatever crap was in the contract (now inacessible in a Null-sec station) and I think 11000 ISK in fees, which is not a very high stake for a potential 400 Mil ISK win.

But truth be told, I would be more interested why this guy should have left Goonswarm Federation.
Was he kicked? Left on his own? Any Goons willing to answer this one?

I don't know the guy, and so can't say for sure... but I don't think I'm revealing anything particularly secret when I note that there's been a lot of CFC-wide broadcasts recently about internal security reorganizations. Timeline is right for a kick based on that, so it's possible that he got kicked after failing some security check. That said, it's also likely that (as a new/probationary member) he got kicked for doing something else stupid, which might involve anything, including getting scammed by OP. It would not be the first time goons have purged new recruits for reasons of stupidity (there are plenty of amusing stories on the goon forums attesting to this).

Of course, given that he has since joined N3, the security thing is looking pretty likely.
