[Guide] How to spot a Scammer. [Work in progress]

Ship Contract Scam


This is a straight forward and easy to spot scam. Someone will link a couple of Item Exchange contracts and then the also link the Ship itself with a “price”, like shown here:

When you click the contracts, they will be like this:

  • The one on the left is a “legit” contract that was made (created and then quickly canceled or accepted by scammers alt) to mislead, give you false belief that this is legit and that you have to be quick to get it.

  • The middle one is looking just like the first one, but with one key difference, the item in the contract is now ONLY a normal Vexor which is hugely overpriced at a price of 49 million ISK.

  • Lastly, the one on the right, this contract is also very similar to the other contracts prior to this one, but here you have the right ship, as advertised, but at the price of 490 million ISK which again is hugely overpriced.

When you do see someone in local posting multiple Item Exchange contracts of the same ship, do take you time checking it thoroughly as it could cost you a lot of your hard earned ISK.

Or do as many of us do, Right-Click player and hit Block.
