Good call jambon

I saw one avvy spamming the chat in PA with this but refusing to answer any questions like "Why would anyone want to give away HoFs to randoms?"
Thankfully, there were quite a few people who were clued up and warned everyone that it was likely to be a virus.

It's like the internet 'superb investment opportunity offering xxx% return on your investment.'
Yeah, right - it's so good that you won't offer it to your friends, you'll just spam every e-mail account you can get hold of

ESI/Skills Scam ...or not

I may have just blown my big chance... For the first time since my arrival in Entropia someone offered to sell me their skills, and at a very reasonable price. All I had to do was buy the some empty skill implants... Well, take a look at the picture below.


What do you make of it?

She was most likely a very nice girl, and I laughed in her face. Oh well, hopefully she'll get over it and find someone else to help her. On the other hand, this might just have been a case of the old ESI scam in play. Just a word of warning... This took place today in Jason Centre.

Sincerely,
Donald

P.S. As for the post above, with the hyperlink to the keylogger website, the original post has been edited not to show the correct link. I suggest the quote be edited as well, for safety sake.

how is it Donald that whatever the situation you manage to be charming and honest Even to the point of disguising potential scammers you allow them the chance to better themselves

I hope this wide eyed lady adopts the moral high road from now on....



I suspect that a naming and shaming would help more though if I was frank... ( not the MA frank either)

Well, in this instance, Beki, the answer is quite simple really. As I was walking away she called out that it was not a scam, in case I had thought otherwise. I'm not one to second guess my fellow Entropian.

This thread is very usefull,atleast for a new player .

Another method of scamming that seems to be fairly common is that mentors abuse their status,my former mentor told me to get 1k sweat,so I started to gather sweat.When I finally had all the sweat that I "needed" he asked me to trade him.He offered one of those laser rifles that you buy from trade terminals,and claimed that "I need it in my next phase of hunting".I asked if he was going to give me some ammo,but no,he claimed that the worth of the rifle was around 8 PED .He had obviously forgot that you can see the value of stuff in the trade window
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this,but I hope that it migth be usefull information

Ah another nice scam attempt.

Someone offered to craft UBER Armors like Angel, Jag, Shadow for only the Materials (around 3k PED).

A friend has a mentor that never showed her how to use the TT. After every hunt she had to give him everything that she looted and all he ever gave her each time was 1 ped. What a b'stard
I put her right, she gets lots of loot now

I am not sure what type of scam you are highlighting there. From your screenshots the avatar has said that they are invisible and you have said that you will report them for exploiting a bug.

Is there more information available on what scam actually occurred?
