Scams in EVE Online: Difference between revisions

Line 47:

You'd really like to have more money, so you send them some money. They keep it, send you nothing, and block you. Some scammers may actually double your ISK as long as the amount is small to drum up business and try to get you to send more, but rest assured when you send a large enough amount, they'll keep it.

There is another variant commonly named, "the Bonus ~~room~~." In this version, after the victim has delivered the inital ISK, the scammer will inform the victim that they have randomly been selected for, "the Bonus Room." The victim is then told to join a certain Teamspeak/Mumble channel, and will be told to do all sorts of activities, ~~from~~ linking a full API to singing to contracting all property to being repeatedly podded to destroy your learned skillpoints, all with the promise of multiplied ISK if you can perform all of the tasks.
