The Great Scam

[iwasinnamuknow]

been a lot of talking recently about scamming/scammers etc...

I came across this (apparently) true story on my travels:

http://www.fingertron.com/docs/?section=thegreatscam

IMHO Its an amazing insight into the dark side of a scam....
Really touched me in some way i can't see, but I know that if any part
of me ever wanted to scam, this would stop it....

great story .P

That's very educational...and kinda inspiring.

In case you haven't deduced by now, mining in Eve Online is about as fun as f**king a fat chick's festering corpse.

lol

Over the next two weeks, I traded harder than a Chinaman in a flea market

Unfortunately, it's about as strong as an anorexic midget in a world of steroid-laced giants.

ROFL!!!

but I didnt care to read it all tho.

Hm cool story and I kinda hated the guy in the end

 

[Sweety]

read the whole thing and I feel sad for that guy, lost it all due to greed...

I've been in a similiar situation too, entrusted with something very valuable and I had the power to just take it and run but I knew that I play the game for fun not mainly for profit so I did my thing and my friend got what should be his, in the end I'm very happy with myself for not doing the immoral thing. Most people should read this story as it will touch a lot of them and prevent some of the possible future scams

Great story, even i am not shure its true.
It is a good thing to read when you need a timefiller.

Thx for posting it. The Story was very exiting

Great read, thanks for that!
Had it bookmarked from when you first posted it and finally talked myself into reading it.
Thanks again for that link!

I just read the whole thing and now my eyes are burning.
I'm not even sure how to comment on that story.

 

[iwasinnamuknow]

well glad some ppl liked it

weird, leaves me feeling kinda dirty...not "dirty", just like the human race has lost some value/respect because we do things like this....

 

[Svetlana]

Wow- finally finished it and I think I need to let my mind ponder everything that I just took in....
But- I am willing to go out on a limb here and say the following:
a) This kid writes like a real f-ing genius
and
b) I will never play EVE

Ya, he makes the game seem exciting! Too bad I found it boring as hell.
Definetly good writing.
