The Eve Scam

[Malebrignon]

This is a fairly old story and, I thought, widely circulated in MMO circles. Anywho, Abric hadn't read it so I thought I'd share the link. It's totally worth the time to read, but it is quite lengthy.

ROFLMAO, yeah... that sounds like EVE alright.

As a note for those that are into Excel in Space (as EVE is fondly known):

Scamming is completely legit. If you can convince someone to give you hard, cold cash, more fool them.

Heh heh heh.

We recently had a corpmate get hit by one. Station owners quietly upped the fees for using the market. Instead of getting dinged a few thousand, got dinged for 100 million.

You need to read that "Total Cost" line clearly...
