Corp initiation fee<br> | Corp initiation fee<br> | ||
Reputable corporations usually don't ask for any kind of initiation fees. One can imagine though how a fake corp can create a fake killboard and website, and using alts in the recruitment channel establish a kind of fake reputation and build a sense that it can be worth a few million isk to join a top notch corp. | |||
Lotteries<br> | Lotteries<br> | ||
As a rule of thumb, I avoid all lotteries outside of my own corp or alliance. It's *very* easy to fake a reputation and establish a lottery, so quite simply: I don't know which I can trust so I trust none. If I want to gamble, I'll get into a frigate and play around in lowsec. | |||
