This isn't the post for today, you find it here.
At first I didn't know who is the bigger idiot. Him for trying to scam me or me for baiting him for 1:30. He is probably the worst scammer of the planet. He approached me as TEST diplomat to recruit me. He did not even bothered to ask any questions to look any way legit, he told I'll be invited to TEST market section and given some part of the alliance wallet to use it in Jita. (like that would make any sense). After that introduction, he started talking about titan construction details. For loooong time. Then finally got to the point, I must pay 90B deposit to join as a safety to prevent me cancelling other jobs on POS-es. It also made no sense. If I trash a POS for giggles, I won't mind. If I don't it's waste. He couldn't answer just rephrased the same nonsense. I lost my patience and ended the conversation:
I thought I just wasted my time. This was too bad for even a joke post. I mean chatting 1:30 with a random TEST member isn't interesting post. But instead of just letting go, he lost his nerves and logged his official diplomat main. 90B can make someone greedy:
Now this is something! The diplomat of TEST, is trying to scam me! I double-checked, he is the same guy who is listed as French diplomat on the ingame TEST data. Right next to the "anyone asking money for joining is a scammer" warning. Update: He is fired!
When did he screw it up?
Maybe when he approached me instead of waiting till I go to TEST? (he could send anonymous messages that TEST would be receptive)
Maybe when he did not even try to maintain the look of an interview?
Maybe when he did clearly the opposite that the easily available TEST material said?
They all matter. But probably the point was when he openly bragged about his plan on reddit from a topic that gave my blog 3K visitors:
Anyway, heed my advice: if you try to scam someone, don't announce it in a public forum.
And try to make sense.
Update: This post became one of my most visited. I sent the guy a mail celebrating his accomplishment:
