Char selling fraud<br>
Char selling fraud<br>
If fraud is committed in the selling of a character through the character bazaar (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=channel&channelID=734105) you can petition and have everything reversed.<br>
Impersonation<br>
Impersonation<br>
Impersonating another character or corporation is a bannable offense. Point final.<br>
Loan contract schemes<br>
Loan contract schemes<br>
Because of the complexity of loan contracts, they're not open to scams. (http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1519&tid=1)<br>

Begging<br>
Begging<br>
This is the simplest scam around where one simply asks for isk in popular channels (trade hub local, rookie help, NPC corp chat, etc.) They'll always have a story about how they lost their ship or they got scammed themselves or any of 1000 reasons why they want something for nothing.<br>

ISK doubling<br>
This shares similarities to begging in the sense that both take place in highly dense channels. With ISK doubling a player is offering to send back twice the ISK that you send them. This is *always* a scam in the long run. The scammer will pay back small amounts in order to 'drum up sales' and get people talking, but as soon as they gain a large amount, they'll simply stop sending money back.<br>

ISK doubling<br>
Also called ninja'ing, this is where someone enters your mission space or ratting belt and outright steals your loot. This can get complicated, because sometimes people will be prepared for exactly this and have a point on their mission running ship in anticipation of a ninja looter. On the reverse of that is sometimes someone will steal your loot in the hopes that you do in fact shoot them while they have allies waiting to come in and destroy your ship.<br>

Sale of intangibles (wormholes, systems, bookmarks, etc.)<br>
Sale of intangibles (wormholes, systems, bookmarks, etc.)<br>
This is the epic tale of selling someone the Golden Gate bridge. Quite simply it's selling something that either has no worth, is not verifiable, or simply does not belong to them. For example selling a bookmark to a wormhole with any kind of assurance of what is or is not in there (in terms of sites to run as well as presence of a hostile corporation inside).
