My Eve Online Scams

EBANK SCAM OMG

2009-07-03T14:31:00.009Z

OMG I’m laughing my arse off!!! Well it’s been a long time since I have posted on here but today needs an update on what I’ve read.

Today my best mate called me up to let me know a new scam has hit eve online, even though I don’t play no more I still have an interest in the game, so don’t worry your safe; actually no you’re not it seems lol.

After reading the bbc.co.uk website I see a player called ricdic was the scammer, this name rang a bell, also the fact Australia was mentioned as this is where the guy is from its reported. So i decided to do a little searching on the eve search site to find out that I’m right! Ricdic and r0me0 had crossed paths.

Ricdic at the time was researching peoples BPOS which can be of extremely high value, I was also offering the same service at the time, he actually wanted to work together and partner up with me, but after i purchased a domain name (eveblueprints.com) he told me he was planning to buy as part of his advertising strategy. it was safe to say he had it in for me with endless fighting and bitching in the forums saying if I could steal his ideas I couldn’t be trusted. Fair enough he was proven right as time went on but you got to love what’s come around.

Now it seems our good old friend ricdic the almighty trusted one has pulled his own scam, well it’s not even a scam really more of a cop out. He had some medical bills and needed a deposit on a house, so decided to bail out and steal his control share of 200+ Billions ISK out of the EBANK making around £3,000+

Well if you’re reading this ricdic can you do me a favour and stand in front of the mirror and recite all the names you called me in private and public and the questionable morality issues you claimed i had outside of the game, take care.

As for all them who followed ricdic and bitched at myself have fun in the asteroid belts spending countless hours trying to regain your wealth you noobs.

To all my fans, please post this latest news blog in as many old threads of ricdic’s and the EBANK Theads for all to enjoy.

Here is an old thread of both myself r0me0 and ricdic

Hello all,

My mate popped around and was showing me the new updates in the game and a video trailer of the graphics etc, having a look on the forums and still seeing me talked about brought back so many memories.

It’s been some time now since I last played, this time last year was when I was in the middle of collecting all them BPO, investments etc and ready to commit still known to eve as one of the biggest scams.

I decided to download the new client and give the game another crack, got some free time on my hands at the moment. Not sure what role I will take good or bad... I guess only time will tell, but watch this space and more important watch your backs.

For all my fans out there I will try and keep the blog updated without giving my identity away too much.

See you out there.

Yes i am r0me0's new alt :)

Eve Radio DJ – PAWNED

2007-02-22T02:05:00.000Z

This scam has actually made me some serious ISK, in to the 2 Billion mark now I think.

Well thought I would hit the eve-radio channel again, started posting my free ISK offer and they were all on my case, I think because they all know each other in that dam room and I hit one of them hard the other day.

Then DJ URRI asks what I am doing, so as I reply with “giving ISK away” and send him 500k to distract him from what I might be doing is a scam. Next thing I have a private convo request open from him.

So curious I start the convo and next I know I have got him to send me 10 Million ISK on the basis he might receive 100 Million back, oh dear.

The Switch - Stage 1

2007-02-21T23:12:00.000Z

This is so dam funny,

It doesnt take a genius to work out a lot of people would like to see me suffer and die in the game, so i thought mmm how could i capitalise on such an idea. Then it came to me...

start a "KILL R0ME0 FUND!"

Okey so how do i get people to send me the ISK, as i cant obvously use r0me0 for this and will need to uncover one of my alts which has been in a corp for a while, i was planning to use this alt for corp theift but never mind this is more fun.

POA ( Plan Of Action)

1. Start a slaggin match between r0me0 and my secrect alt.
2. Initialize a War Dec on mentioned alts and his corp, can use privateers for this, will look more legit.

3. Start a KILL R0ME0 FUND! campain.
4. Pocket the FUNDS!

x10 ISK, Last Thoughts

2007-02-16T13:43:00.000Z

Well Thursday was a very fruitful day, After the night before events I realised there’s just to many noobs with to much ISK who are all just to dumb, so I’m going to take all there ISK from them.

So I posted what’s now becoming my famous scam post…

“Yes i am the guy who stole 75Billion ISK in assets and ISK, i feel generous today so have 1 Billion isk to give away for FREE... what ever you send me i will send back x10 more.”

I say this because every wanabe scammer is jumping on the band wagon now and using this scam, some so lazy they don’t even edit the post at all. I guess I can only take this as a complement.

I camped the Jita Local Channel again purely because that’s where all the noob’s hang out and the population there is in the mid hundreds.

As usual I was up against a lot of players constantly saying this is a scam warning people off and actually pointing everyone to this Blog, what’s funny is anyone with have a brain cell would come check the Blog out at least and when here would know without a doubt this is a scam and there going to loose there ISK.

Yet people ignore this and carry on regardless, I do wonder if any of these people actually play an important role in real life because I am starting to worry now lol.

Some of the comments where so funny emailing me and saying things like “are you going to keep your word, and send me my isk”, oh dear… not being rude I reply to there eve mails keeping it to the point with a nice “No” as a response.

After checking my wallet today and only acknowledging all them who sent over 1 Million ISK I have list of 47 players who send me ISK, this does not include the others who sent less, yes OMG they are in deed all retards, how they have managed to live so long I don’t know.

For fun I think I will post all the names of the players who sent me 1 Million Plus, its in the format of a leader board so you can actually see how much people where sending me and what the most amount was, lol. You never know maybe you could email these guys and ask for some fee ISK shouldn’t be to hard to get it from them huh?

OMG

2007-02-14T23:19:00.000Z

Ok now I am officially lost for words…

I’m in the Jita local channel and again some noob is spamming the channel after every post I’m trying to sell something, referencing them to my scams on the forums. So I’m laughing and make a comment how people are to stupid and despite all the warnings in the world there is still brain less fools who will fall for a scam despite everything, and talk about my last escapade in Jita, which I called the Dip-Shit Radar.

So I copy the post in the channel so they could see what I was talking about and how stupid people are.

“Yes i am the guy who stole 75Billion ISK in assets and ISK, i feel generous today so have 1 Billion isk to give away for FREE... what ever you send me i will send back x10 more.”

Well two players then send me 1 ISK each so I sent them 10 back as I knew they where messing around an know me. However I only get sent a further 12 Million ISK, one of which was 10Million by one person alone and the other two send me 1 Million each, I’m like WTF is going on.

Valeryana - 10 Million
Rougue Clone - 1 Million
Ninev0lts - 1 Million

So while I am somewhat a little shocked to whats just happened and letting the locals know, the above are asking for there isk and sending me mails

“I sent you 1mill, gunna live up to your x10 thing or not?”

While actually updating my blog while this is fresh in my mind, and checking the local channel someone quotes my above post and then I get another 11 Million ISK sent.

Cooolllll – 10 Million ISK
Daniel Jackson – 1 Million ISK

Well what can I say apart from are these people allowed to be left alone in there own company? Lets hope they really where born with just the one brain cell because I fear they have more than one, they might rub together and create a fire.

Dip-Shit Radar

2007-02-09T13:49:00.001Z

While in Jita trying to sell some of my BPOS; some stolen some not, I was a little bored just sat in my shuttle spamming the local with my WTS posts so I decided to have some fun and try a very obvious scam, it was so obvious in fact that I thought who ever falls for this as I’m sure you’ll agree when you read on is a certified dip-shit.

Starting of I posted the following in the local channel:

“1Billion isk to give away... anyone who sends me 1 Million isk, i will send 2 Million back”

Well it did get a few people laughing and no interest at all really, so instead I decided to raise the anti a little bit, see if we can rely on good old fashioned greed and temptation.

“Yes i am the guy who stole 75Billion ISK in assets and ISK, i feel generous today so have 1 Billion isk to give away for FREE... send me 1 Million ISK and i will send 10 Million back”

Now this message for anyone with half a brain cell should know it’s a scam if not already, I even admit to my past behaviour and several of the guys in the local channel are calling me a scammer etc.

THEN;

Within one minute I got my first fishy named “DiNoer”, he was lucky actually as I needed him to backup my claims so I actually sent him 10Million ISK back as promised, who then in turn would do all the advertising for me.

Still only managing to catch one other guy so I changed my post a little bit and kept with;

“Yes i am the guy who stole 75Billion ISK in assets and ISK, i feel generous today so have 1 Billion isk to give away for FREE... what ever you send me i will send back x10 more.”

What I got then was more little people sending me very small amounts but this was good, because I could payout on a couple and get them also backing my claims up as well, I kept this up for a good 30mins, sending low payment and keeping the large ones, I did however send another guy 5 Million ISK who sent me 500k.

After a while though the others who started sending the 1Million here and 2Million there started speaking up which I fobbed of with “my wallet is going mental, please hold on and wait your turn”, still people where sending ISK in, because others where confirming they actually got 10x more back to what they sent.

The odd player here and there was claiming all these where my alts lol, however the fact is I didn’t use any alts as I really wanted to test my new dip-shit radar out.

At this moment I think I was about even with the 2 large payouts of 5 and 10 Million ISK, however good old fashioned GREED kicked in and the stupid guys sent back there ISK in hope for more, oh dear as I laughed to my self while the phrase “quit while your ahead springs to mind”, at this point I stopped sending ISK and just let what ever was out there come in.

In the end I think I only made 10-15Million ISK profit, but it was so funny and was well worth it.

The following is some comments I would like to share with you all, which made me laugh, from both the victims and spectators.

“I can get you banned for not following up on a promise.Please send me 10M aas promised”

As I read this comment I did wonder how many petitions the GM’s got that afternoon with a nice grin on my face.

“Captain Vampire > I think romeo has generated more petitions than isk from this”

I think this just about sums it all up.

“takeaway1031 > ok he admits to being a thief and you guys are sending him money lets think about how smart this really is”

“takeaway1031 > hay romeo i give you props ive never seen anyone tell everyone they where a thief and get them to give them money on false hope frigin funny how stupid people could be”

I would like to say thanks for all them who made this possible :)

Eve Extended Down Time.

2007-01-16T15:57:00.000Z

Well due to the extended down time today, I thought I would still dedicated my time to eve and complete another one of my blog entries which is over due. This one is called Templer Relleg Round 2

I have post dated it to keep with the rolling events of my scamming adventures.

UPDATE

2007-01-09T00:47:00.000Z

Just to let you all know the progress of my blog is taking longer than expected, at the moment i am going though all my chat logs, for times dates etc and publishing them as one long rolling event, as you can see with the current blog entries.

There’s a lot to go though so please be patient, and keep coming back.

After hanging out my dirty lining it seem there is still people out there who don’t know about my research scam, and contacting me. So I say still take advantage and see how far I can take it.

A guy who I was researching some blueprints for contacted me tonight, at first I though here we go, he’s seen the thread and come to vent some steam or beg for them back. Instead he says: “just checking on my BPO's”.

Thinking to my self, he doesn’t even know what’s happened or gone on in the past few days I will see if I can scam him, so I carry on to say that his blueprints are ready for him to collect, and then interrupt the convo with a request to borrow some ISK quickly.

Knowing that this guy doesn’t generally have much ISK from previous dealings in the past I made some excuse that I was 50 Million ISK short and I needed to claim an item from the escrow/contract and would only need it for 10mins or so. He agreed to this and transferred the funds right away.

Carrying on the pretence, I sent him a link to my Confession Thread and said check this guy out, this was my subtle way of telling him he’s just been scammed, where his next statement was a picture to be framed.
10 minutes later. “dude did you just scam me?”

Templer Relleg Round 2

2006-12-30T15:42:00.000Z

That dam address book is a curse at times, it’s harder to ignore a person when your convo auto opens, stupid thing… Oh well.

Templer Relleg convos me, asking if his blueprints where done, so tell him they finish tonight, and then he comes out with…

“Its done, or not? I think your mail said yesterday after DT, if im not mistaken”

Dam, I forgot I sent this guy a quote with the completion date in. Not much of a problem though instead I feed him some bollox that, yeah the blueprints are complete but I am to far away at the moment to complete the actual job. This seems to do the trick.

He then gets on to the subject of how he’s looking to create an industrial alt so he can eventually have his own Tower and Mobile Labs to research from, but tells me he doesn’t have the standing. Next thing he’s saying how he’s even looking for a corporation to join which has the standings already and form some deal with them for allowing him to install one etc… Well I saw an opportunity here for sure.

So I begin to tell him how I use to do that my self, and I had a couple of guys who needed so many research slots I didn’t have any spare for my self any more so offered them the chance to purchase there own and install it under my corporation and they can then self manage there own Towers, and in exchange I got to use some of there spare slots etc.

Well with that I felt a tug on the fishing rod as my little fishy bit and pulled. Starting to real him in I told him how it all works etc and he was very interested and keen, so much so within a couple of minutes he told me he and the ISK to purchase a small Tower and a few Mobile Labs right now and could he join my corporation and do this.

I did have one slight problem though; I no longer had any standing’s to install a Tower in empire that I was claiming, but that wasn’t going to stop me. Instead I thought I could quite easy either get him to pass me the items and I would do it, and if not and he really wanted to do it, I could just ambush him with one of my PVP alts since you can kill corporation members with no intervention from concord.

After giving him the details he needed to place an application to join my corporation he told me there was a problem.

“You cannot join this corporation as you are Gallente and this corporation only accepts the following races: Caldari. If the CEO has the skill Ethnic Relations, this would not be a problem. Notice: The CEO must update his corporation through the corp...”

Well this was proving a little harder, but still not letting this stop me I told him it was going to take an hour or so for me to train my skills to sort this problem out, but in the mean time to save time if he wanted I would anchor the Tower etc for him as it’s a 30 minute process and would save time, he agreed and gave me his small tower worth around 100 Million ISK, I wasn’t stopping there tough as I wanted them dam Mobile Labs they cost 90 Million ISK each and he had 3 of them.

He tells me how he will do them as we have to wait anyhow for the Tower to anchor and then to activate it. So my plan at this point was to bluff the tower being anchored and online and when he was in the corporation ready I would go back to my first plan and ambush him for the Mobile Labs.

A few moments later he comes back and I couldn’t believe my luck, he tells me how he’s made a mistake and the Toon he was joining the corporation with didn’t have skills to use a hauler and got his accounts mixed up, so of course I said no worries I will just anchor them for you as well, before I got chance to say any more he said come to the station they are waiting for you, like a shot I was there and sure enough I now had 3 Mobile Labs worth 270 Million ISK in total, I combined value of 370 Million ISK

During the process of this I was chatting to one of my mates in game, keeping him updated, we was both laughing and couldn’t believe how I just took this guy quiet easy for 370 Million ISK.

A few moments later,

Templer Relleg > You put the POS up at Planet XI, Moon 1, in Muvolailen, yes?
R0ME0 > nah, decided to keep it
Templer Relleg > :?
Templer Relleg > Ya kidding me?
R0ME0 > yeah lol
Templer Relleg > Good
Templer Relleg > LOL :
Templer Relleg > But i dont see nothing at XI 1
R0ME0 > you sure? you at right moon?
Templer Relleg > In muv?
Templer Relleg > Ye, theres nothing :D
R0ME0 > ah they are still in my hanger... i'm going to keep them i think
Templer Relleg > Eh?
Templer Relleg > Why? :
Templer Relleg > You havent been sitting with me in a convo here for like.. 1 hour now, to scam me?
R0ME0 > yeah

A little cruel but so bloody funny at the same time, I wanted him to have that moment of relief, yet also know how close he was... I’m sure you know how it goes most of us have been there, but this was to have a twist.

I call it the emotional Yo Yo.

Fair game to him though, he did take it well and saw the funny side to it.

“Templer Relleg : Jesus, im never gonna trust people again.”

Elaia Voneise Round 2

2006-12-28T14:58:00.001Z

Past couple of days Elaia Voneise has been mailing me wanting to use my research services again. I had been avoiding her, a little as you will know; I tricked/scammed her into loaning me 214 Million ISK, since I missed an opportunity to steal any of her blueprints, after going to a cheaper researcher and looking at setting her own research tower up.

She wanted to take 100 Million ISK I had of hers from the loan and put them into shares, and then take the remainder 114 Million ISK and use that to pay for the research slots she wanted for the month.

This was perfect for me, yet at the same time a tricky one as I had no towers or labs, never mind the faction standings needed to anchor one in empire space, so there was quite a lot of things to catch me out here, but more the challenge and fun to trick/scam Elaia even more.

Once Elaia joined my corporation again I quickly gave her private access to one of the corporation hangers, this is needed for any blueprints researched under the corporation due to game mechanics.

So I’m sat glued to my screen waiting to see what blueprints she drops into the hanger. A couple of minutes go buy and the tight cow drops a cheap nasty Rig blueprint worth around 100K ISK, I was gutted. Using my CEO roles I take a look into her personal hanger and see some other cheap blueprints and a Drake... now this was what I was after with a market value of 342 Million ISK.

A few minutes pass and she sends me a mail saying she can’t see any of the installation labs etc. Well this was because there wasn’t any but I wasn’t leaving it at that, with that nice pretty Drake calling out my name. So I begin to use her noobish knowledge against her and inform her there is a known bug with the Rig blueprints.

These are a new addition to the game so thought it’s a plausible reason. Knowing she normally researches missile blueprints and the fact she doesn’t have any in her hanger I tell her.

"try testing it on another blueprint like a missile or a ship blueprint if you have any”

Being careful what I suggested using the missile blueprints, I thought she might go for this, but also knowing she doesn’t have any of these her only option if falling for what I was setting her up for which was to move that nice Drake blueprint of hers to the corporation hanger.

So again I am really glued to the screen now, waiting... Around 5-10 minutes pass (or certainly seemed that long) and OMG she fell for it, the Drake blueprint appeared in the corporation hanger which I allocated to her, like a flying bullet my mouse clicked on the blueprint and moved it to another hanger division where she didn’t have access. She then dropped a couple more blueprints in, nothing to special but I moved them too.

What shocked me next was, she still didn’t suspect anything, and if she did she wasn’t saying much.

RAKker Boy

2006-12-24T15:06:00.000Z

I got a request today from one of my marks (RAKker Boy) for some IPO shares. I actually met this guy on one of the trade channels wanting information on how to purchase ISK, where I informed him about how Game Time Codes worked and you can purchase them with real cash and sell them in game for ISK, it was at the time where I was re-selling GTC’s a lot and he soon became one of my suppliers.

It still amazes me how many still risk buying ISK from eBay when GTC is safer in every way and you get more for your money, anyway back to the scam.

After asking me how things worked when you own shares etc the he put a request in for 50 Million ISK worth of shares where of course I happily sent them to him.

I like to carry on chatting to my mark after the deal as I like to think it makes things all the more believable, than a simple good buy, and end the chat convo, sometimes it even gets them that excited and they buy into the scam even more.

Well this paid of as later into the convo with me he announces he’s wants to purchase another 150 Million ISK worth of shares, well what can I say “hook line and sinker” comes to mind, completing the deal.

Next thing he’s only advertising my IPO to his corporate mates, where his CEO comes online interested in them. However he was one tight arse as he only purchased the one share from me, or maybe my RAKker Boy just didn’t bullshit him enough as I did to him.

Proton Power, Part 2

2006-12-20T16:08:00.000Z

Wahoo….

Well I sent off my quote late last night for Proton Power blueprint list and we settled on a price, well lets face it I was going to agree with what ever price his suggested really to just make sure he passed them on over to me.

This afternoon I logon to find I had an eve mail saying the blueprints where waiting for me. I had a look but couldn’t find anything. Noticing he was online I sent him a convo to double check. Turns out he spelt my name wrong but we soon got that fixed. There was that many blueprints he had to split the contract into two parts.

As soon as I claimed the blueprints I grabbed my shuttle and flew my arse on over to the station to which they where located as fast as its little engine could move. Finally docked I open my personal hanger and it was flooded with blueprints, I counted around 600-700, I gave up in the end.

This turned out to be a right good little score… all mine…

Templer Relleg Round 1

2006-12-20T00:27:00.000Z

They just keep on coming.

Templer Relleg convos me last night turns out he wants some blueprints researching as well. Where they keep coming from I want to know, but so long as they keep coming I don’t mind.

Turns out he’s seen my old forum thread when I was going legit, surprised it’s not been trashed yet. He enquires about collateral etc which there’s no way I am going to give so I basically just fob him of and explain to him I don’t have the ISK to layout at the moment due to KALI being release and all my ISK tied up in new investments.

About 5 minutes later he says “ok”, “ill take the chance”.

Keeping in mind I still have no idea what he has that he wants me to research, I docked to receive a trade with 3 Cruiser blueprints to research worth around 100 – 150 Million ISK.

Jastor Morbix

2006-12-19T20:54:00.000Z

It’s definitely my lucky night tonight, another guy called Jastor Morbix hits me up wanting some research on his blueprint. He’s told me how he’s already placed it in a public research station but he’s looking at a 20 day wait before it even begins to start researching. Hes so going to wish he left it where it was.

So I begin to sweet talk him and tell him how I can pretty much have his blueprint research in half the time privately. We spent a good hour chatting pasted the time I guess but this blueprint was worth it with a value of 360 Million ISK.

Got to wonder with some people, after he said this.

“u should know, its a big deal to me to trust u with the bpo lol. The last time I handed over a bpo to a friend, he disappeared for 3-4 months with it.”

Some people will never learn, he was a cheap twat anyway, wanted to pay me in blueprint copies on some crappy ship.

Proton Power, Part 1

2006-12-19T19:29:00.000Z

Got a convo from Proton Power tonight, seen his name around in the blueprint channel here and there but never really taken much notice, well that soon changed when his opening line to me was;

“I have like 200 blueprints I don’t feel like researching, you interested?”

At first I thought they would be Rig blueprints to be honest and not worth that much, so after asking he said they where mostly ammo, drones and ships. Well with that I just smiled to my self and laughed my arse off, because I was going to relieve him permanently of these lovely little things.

Turns out he’s a researcher too, but just can’t be arsed with researching them all and wanted to farm the work out to me. About 20 minutes later I get an eve mail from him and it’s the full list of the blueprints he wants doing so I can put a quote together for him. Having a quick scan to see if there was anything good, I noticed there was well over 200 blueprints it was more like 500+, there wasn’t really any high end ones but still not bad for the amount of them, with multiple copies a good few hundred million ISK at least.
