You've probably seen the advertisements for Phaser Inc. around highsec. For a long time they've been advertising their investment service with suspiciously high interest rates. They recently cashed in their ponzi scheme and made off with a trillion ISK (although there has been some debate over the exact amount). They even wrote up an explanation of their scam.
Be careful out there.

Re: EVE's biggest scam ever
Ponzi schemes and other of the kind (although this is the most popular one) are very easy to catch if you know what they are. That's why I would recommend everyone to read about them, and other RL bank schemes - or just not to invest in people they don't know very well in general. If you look at EVE Forums: Sell Orders, you will find one every now and then, with very satisfied customers, so beware.
Also, if you know other types of advanced hard-to-catch scams, feel free to post them - I would like to read about them.
