The Clan initiation fee scam is a scam in which the scammer, who is in a clan, offers to recruit another player into the clan, but with an initiation fee. After collecting the fee the scammer would most likely not invite the other player to the clan chat, or possibly even add the player to his/her ignore list so the other player can't contact him/her. This is not always a scam, however, as some legitimate and highly-respected clans do have taxes or initiation fees.
