If it was not doing what it claims to be doing, it would be a fraud. When you break a legal agreement, it’s a fraud ; when you only break your victim’s trust, then it’s a scam. Inside Eve, CCP makes the law and using any tool that bypasses the law is a breach of the EULA, therefore a case of being banned.
It’s not a fraud, yet it’s a scam.
