Honestly, I don’t think it’s a scam. Translate this into dollars. You paid a $4 application fee for an expedited application. That is normally considered non-refundable (ie: applying for a lease or college). Your application was reviewed. There was a huge problem, your stats implied you might be a serious liability. So they wanted another $15 to prove that you are ‘serious’’, and to compensate them for the added risk. You weren’t that serious. Not a big deal. ---

So I am a newbie and without too much of a clue. Just being transparent about my knowledge. Is there not a way in corps to separate new players until they prove trustworthy? Or better said, until they prove themselves worrhy? A probation period and separate asset storage? When I dock, all I can get is my stuff, even though there are others at station. ---

It’s a classic recruitment scam. Don’t trust anyone. ---
