Group Money Making Program
From: Botfusion

To: WildNova,

Dear Fellow EVE Players,
My name is edkaos. A year ago I was dead broke both in real life and in EVE. I loved to
play EVE but I simply couldn't afford to buy a PLEX or pay for my EVE accounts subscription
anymore.
A few months ago I bought my first Super Carrier AND Titan. I also easily buy 9 PLEX each
month (with ISK) to cover my 9 Accounts. Oh yeah, I didn't even have to train those 9 accounts,
I bought them all for ISK.
I will never have to Rat, Mine, or Mission again. I am rich!!! I have made 350 Billion ISK and
I'm on track to hit One Trillion ISK in the next few months. Anyone can do the same. This
money making program works perfectly every time, 100% of the time. I have never failed to
earn a Billion ISK or more whenever I wanted.
About 7 months ago I received a EVE mail telling me how I could earn over a Billion ISK
whenever I wanted. I was naturally very skeptical at first so I just closed my mail and started
grinding missions. After spending a few hours running missions to try to get enough ISK for
another PLEX, I again thought about the EVE mail and wondered if it could really work?
I figured it couldn't hurt to try so I followed the instructions and within 5 minutes my wallet
started flashing. People were sending me ISK every few minutes at first, then it got faster and
before I knew it there was an avalanche of ISK pouring into my wallet. By the time I logged in
the next day I had been sent over a Billion ISK! Needless to say I was like OMG!!
If you believe that EVE should be about having fun and not about grinding to make ISK all the
time, simply follow the easy instructions below and your dreams will come true.

Sincerely, Edkaos

INSTRUCTIONS:
Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in just minutes your wallet will start flashing as you
receive ISK. This program is successful because of the HONESTY and INTEGRETY of the
people who use it. Please continue its success by carefully following these instructions.
1) IMMEDIATELY send 1 million ISK to the first 3 people listed below starting at number 1.
Your total investment is only 3 Million ISK.
2) REMOVE the name that appears at number 1 on the list. Move the other 9 names up one
position. (Number 2 will become number 1 and 3 will become 2, etc). Now Place your name in
the number 5 position.
3) Send the new letter with your name in position 5 to as many people as you can. Also put it on
forums and anywhere else EVE players will see it. Remember the more people you send it to the more money you will make.
4) Within hours (sometimes minutes) you will start to see your wallet flash as the ISK comes in.
NOTE: This is perfectly legal and allowed by CCP. If you have any doubts refer to the EULA on
the EVE Online website.
Remember as each mail is received and the instructions carefully followed, the top three people
will be sent ISK by hundreds of people!

1. Staticecho
2. Captainkaos
3. botfusion
4. Admiral Nelson Excalibursol
5. Wildnova
6. STG arachnid
7. Lady Andariel
8. Banker Miikala
9. 35 month
10. tarboon

The following letters were written by participating members in this program.
“I got this mail for the first time a few months ago and I was really skeptical it would work but
figured that it was only 3 million ISK and a few minutes work so why not try it? Man am I glad
that I did! On my first attempt I was lazy and only sent the letter to everyone in my small
alliance (300 people), but even with so few people I still received just over 600 Million ISK in
less than a week!
On my second attempt I sent it out to over a thousand people in Jita local and got back over 2
billion ISK!
This really works, follow the instructions and get ready to make crazy amounts of ISK!

Send this to as many people as you possibly can. That means Alliance, Corp, Forums, or whatever else.
The beauty of this is that it is a pyramid and the amount of participants grows exponentially with each
level...
• If you send it to 1,000 people and only 20 people (2%) respond you will make 60 Mil.
• If they send it to 100 people each on average and 2% respond that's 40 more people and 120
million more ISK.
• If those 40 send it to 100 people each and 2% respond that's 80 more people and 240 million
more ISK.
• If those 80 send it to 100 people each and 2% respond that's 160 more people and 320 million
more ISK. (because you are in only the 1 and 2 position now).
• If those 160 send it to 100 people each and 2% respond that 320 more people and 320 million
more ISK
At this point you fall off the list and it continues on without you.

“To those thinking about trying this program:
I've been burned in the past by scammers and when I first received this letter I was sure it was
just another scam, but because it was only 3 million ISK I decided to try anyway. What's the
worst that could happen? I lose 3 Mil?
So I sent the 3 Mil and then started sending the message to corp as well as people I saw pass
through local while I was mining.
To my shock I started getting ISK sent to me within 15 minutes! Sure it was only 1 million ISK
each time but slowly it started coming in faster. By the time I logged out I had been sent over
150 million ISK! All from my little 3 Million ISK investment!
It's now been 3 days since I sent the letter out and I'm still getting a steady flow of ISK. The
total is currently 894 Million ISK!!! HAHAA LOVE IT :D

Oh god...

jesus- and here i was thinking scams where supposed to make you a quick buck.......how long does he think it would take to do that^^^^^

thank you, spam e-mail begging for ISK - gets you a good solid ban

mail spam and ISK request will get your character attention in no time. This is why eve is not like public e-mail service. We pay 15 USD to get our gameplay and people who break it away.

Just recieved same info in eve mail.

lol...I remember getting this mail. I was looking at it and thinking..."Damn...these guys must be getting insanely rich off of all the morons that fall for it.".

More creative?

This scam has been around as long as the internet itself and probably longer.

true.

But even if this helps even one more person just delete the mail and not fall victim. Tis still a victory in my book.

Mort.

TL;DR

ITT: People not old enough to remember this exact scam circulating via real mail.

I guess everything looks new again eventually.
