 We all know now that the market will not expand much (if any) in the next update because of how complex it will be to balance a Dust economy with an Eve economy. But let's assume... just for giggles anyways... that the market does open up like that of Eve Online. What will be the most prevalent scams you are likely to see? Add to the list if you like.
 
 Personally, I think the following will happen and I'm pretty sure CCP won't mind any of us doing this to anyone as long as it's within the context of the game.
 
 1. UVT trade scams.
 2. Give me any ISK and I will double it.
 3. Dust Bank ponzi scheme.
 4. WTS: Navy Issue Onikuma
 5. WTB: UVT for 100,000.000 ISK.

 I'm going to take a leaf out of Ye Olde Booke of Runescape Scams and offer to modify armour colours. Just send me your proto gear and I'll paint them and send them back.

 Hosting tournaments for the DUST population with huge buy ins through a "secure" account, only to have that account vanish without a trace when the pot gets large enough.

 Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people, so my Skinweave, Quafe, and Black Eagle armor will have to do, as far as making people believe I colored my own armor.
