Warning: Using CCP in a scam is uncool.
I received this a few hours ago from "Eve System":

This is an official warning for using CCP in an ingame scam. We do not condone using our name in a scam. The offensive text is here, where you falsly claim CCP confiscated your ISK: "[ 2009.10.27 01:27:04 ] Paul Clavet The money is gone. I got an email saying that it was confiscated because the person who gave it to me bought it via RMT " "[ 2009.10.27 01:44:37 ] Paul Clavet that’s what I was told when CCP took it "
This is related to this blog post, where I convinced Transfixion members that their CEO had improperly acquired the ISK that they paid me to go away, and made them pay it again.
There are not many rules in Eve, but apparently I broke one of them and received a warning for it. Note that CCP did NOT confiscate the ISK in question, nor was returning it ever suggested. I wish to be above reproach, however, so I am returning the money voluntarily.
It is my intention to continue to push the limits of carebear griefing in Eve, but I would not enjoy the game if I was playing with tactics that CCP have defined as unfair.
The purpose of this post is to make two things clear:
- Claiming actions by CCP that never took place is considered, if not in the TOS but at least by one GM, a breach of the rules.
- I am a douchebag, but I play within the rules.

Glad to hear that there is clarification on the matter. Good luck in your future scams :)
I don't mind people scamming, but pretending to be CCP is just something you don't do.
Elitist:
Where did I claim to be CCP?
Heh as long as you play within the rules well done for you man. well done i must say. ;o)
Bah, a slip of the tongue if anything. I think it's interesting that it got CCP's attention though. Was it because Paul got reported, or just CCP being...CCCP?
Also, pretty sure any player with half a brain would see through the "scam" he pulled off with Transfixion. :D
Confirming that Paul is a douchebag.
=p

You are really a worthless sack of shit, that you prey on other people and laugh at them? I realize it's a game but honestly? You're not a douchebag, you're much, much, much worse. You're like a playground bully who revels in abusing people because you know something they don't. I really wish the people who make real life threats on you would follow through, I'm pretty sure the real world would be a better place. I hope you don't get married, there is no way in hell you are already (if you were you're definitely divorced), because your kids will have a shit time. It's okay because it isn't real? I can be an asshole because it's not my actual life? I just don't know what to say man...I love EVE for the PvP, fucking gets me going always, but preying on those who don't know and are just trying to enjoy themselves?
It's like I'm watching a movie, and this bitchmade 3 yr old comes and starts yelling. He has no parents, nobody is watching him, and he's just being an asshole. I move him away from me. He comes back. I do it again. He comes back again. At this point and time I'm just fucking pissed off so I hit the kid and say don't come back. You then immediately run out of the place you were hiding waiting for me hit your kid and scream IM THE FUCKING PARENT DONT HIT MY KID and procede to hit me, then tell whoever comes and is in charge "he hit my kid." Really?
What's worse is that all the isk you make you dont' really funnel into anything useful...you just sort of use it to perpetuate you being a soulless, pathetic, no-talent hackjob.
Oh dear, another crybaby internet tough guy that thinks RL morality applies in a computer game. You need to wear a hat boy, it stops your brain becoming fuddled from the cold winds that gust around your lofty moral pinacle.
Haha what gives you any right to judge anybody but yourself. Stop being a bitch and take it, in EVE you're either predator or prey... guess we know what you are.
Also <3 the Tears
Anonymous rage, best rage, amirite?
o/ Tears. Delicious.
Only tears for you, that you think you do anything worth posting. It's pretty pathetic. The hardest thing done on this blog is scanning down, otherwise it's as easy as hitting autopilot, any retard could do it. The fact that you gloat over it just makes it sadder.
"Only tears for you, that you think you do anything worth posting"
LOL, irony...
"The hardest thing done on this blog is scanning down, otherwise it’s as easy as hitting autopilot, any retard could do it."
I just want to say, I truly love your childlike view of EvE, but I feel it necessary correct you on something here...
It's internet spaceships, not some FPS. You can literally play the game pretty effectively with one finger, I know, I do. So the fact that you think that anything in EvE is "hard" means that you either have issues clicking a mouse while conducting simple problem solving, or didn't have anything else relevant to the argument ready and just thought no one would call you on it. Either way Sir, you fail.
On a side note, Paul actually gets more people flaming him on his own blog than I get ingame, i must be doing something wrong.
Too
many
tears...

Paul, after reading the posts on this entry from people who rage at you and then insult you pretending that they're not upset and don't care, I begin to see why you do it. The tears are truly amusing :)
