Free stuff

Since I've not had much time for EVE, the only time in game lately has just been idling in Jita.

Every once and awhile you catch an advertisement like this:

Scam Tutorial

Today I received a convo from snapshot1406. I didn't recognize him at first. It turns out, he's a new scammer who has been copying my scams word for word.

So far, he's down 50m from scamming.

Share Broker

In EVE, there is no secure method of trading shares. You cannot trade them in a station or a contract. As a result, players often seek out a trusted third party to do the exchange through. This removes any fear of being scammed.

It all starts here:
[ 2010.01.18 04:58:44 ] Sugar Jugs > Any share brokers online and active? :)

Switcheroo

This is another trade window scam. However, instead of being the seller, you're the interested buyer.

It starts with this in Jita local:
[ 2010.01.18 01:54:49 ] kagrack > anyone interested in a Navy Comet for 42mil with 3 trimark rigs on?

Caldari Navy Bane Torpedos

Tonight, I came across an individual who had mentioned his interest in hauling between regions for profit. I didn't have any expectations for this, since I figured he knew who I was already.

The scam that takes place is pretty straight-forward, and is the same basic structure I use for many of my investment scams. Keep in mind the whole thing is improvised as the conversation progresses....Read more

The Fake Scam?

I was roaming in a 0.0 gang, and someone tries to open a conversation with me. I accept, and it begins:

[ 2010.01.01 03:26:03 ] Annie Taylor > o/
[ 2010.01.01 03:26:14 ] Annie Taylor > Have a minute? I have a proposition for you
[ 2010.01.01 03:26:37 ] Riethe > roaming 0.0 so not 100% all here but sure
[ 2010.01.01 03:27:47 ] Annie Taylor > Ok, so here is my plan. The character I look to use for doing some moderate investment scamming, the eype you have on your site isn't very old or trusted
[ 2010.01.01 03:28:40 ] Annie Taylor > It would be helpful to me if I could build some trust with my mark, and I had an interesting idea
[ 2010.01.01 03:29:39 ] Annie Taylor > The idea is that you "scam" me, and make a post on your site, but no real ISK is exchanged. I can use the post to show prospective clients that I'm trustworthy.
[ 2010.01.01 03:30:16 ] Annie Taylor > What you get out of the deal is being able to scam another person, and a percent of the windfall from scams in which I use this link

Then we talk for a bit. I make up a few things, and suggest some ideas of my own. ...Read more

Caracals are getting really expensive.

I changed it up a little bit with this one. I haven't had much chance to test it out, but it seems to work.

I reinvested a bit of ISK into buying the real faction versions of the ships I've been mislabeling. A Stabber Fleet Issue and a Caracal Navy Issue are both actually really cheap, so it's not a huge investment. ...Read more

Another trade window scam. Selling a Caracal named Caracal Navy Issue.

Victim: Leigolas Full Scam Details
This scam takes place through the trade window. Using the trade window requires both you and the victim to be docked in the same station. In a popular market hub such as Jita, it's almost guaranteed that the victim will already be docked at Jita 4-4.

The scam is very simple, and can be done with so many different ships and modules. In this case, I'm using a Caracal. ...Read more

This scam took place entirely in game. It began with a single message in the "Trader's Academy" channel:

[ 2009.12.26 07:29:49 ] Riethe > any investors in here want to work on a project with me?
[ 2009.12.26 07:30:05 ] Rixaeton > What sort of project

I've just returned to EVE after a long break, and wanted to test something. Obviously, making a post in the Market Discussions forum draws a lot of unwanted attention.

Any attempt to do a scam on the boards will have any forum regular quickly linking to my previous scam on the forums. As a result, it's impossible to use the forums to scam anyone.

Or is it? ...Read more
