Always take time to verify what a contract is asking for, and if you want a failsafe: only ever keep a single copy of an expensive mod on hand when selling to WTB contracts.<br> | Always take time to verify what a contract is asking for, and if you want a failsafe: only ever keep a single copy of an expensive mod on hand when selling to WTB contracts.<br> | ||

In this scam, a contract appears to be a typical want-to-sell contract (probably offering a below average price) but in fact the contract is selling an item for cash <b>and</b> the item. For example, a contract appears to be selling 1xPLEX for 400m ISK, but is actually trading 1xPLEX for 400m ISK + 1 PLEX. This is not always easy to spot, since the item up for "sale" and the price you pay are next to each other at the top of the screen, but the item you give is futher down the screen.<br> | |||

This scam can also be run with markets, especially in less populace regions by offering ships or modules at 10x their price. For example if you're not careful and need a rifter, you might accept the only sell order in the region as the average, while they're selling at 100m instead of 100k.<br> | This scam can also be run with markets, especially in less populace regions by offering ships or modules at 10x their price.

This scam works can be assisted by someone announcing in local broadcasting the contract and announcing they are selling at the lower price when the contract is actually selling at the higher price.<br> | |||
