Topic: [EDU] How to spot a scammer (Read this before lending your coins!) - page 15. (Read 209203 times)

That might be a broad way to indentify a scammer since I fit all 10 and I am looking for investosr to invest real money (not btc) and sign up a contract with me.

On the contrary, jackdavis1983 dragged out his thread for three pages before he suddenly "lost interest" in Bitcoin and stopped posting.  Coincidentally, that's about the same time it became clear he wasn't going to get any hand outs.  Funny how that works, isn't it? 

i think scammer mostly wont reply properly for doubtful question ,

 Also we will get some keynote from the username or email address



 

Right, and I included you simply because the timing of your request, your post content, etc matches the cookie-cutter filters.  This doesn't mean you're a scammer -- you just fit the description.  In fact, if there are any lendees that fit the description that didn't turn out to be scammers, please post them here and we'll start a separate section for them.

Thanks for including me

but in the mean time newbie in here also be good

every one here in the starting is newbie

but anyway its kind of good thread

I only briefly touched on what to look out for with goods (gift cards, Apple iAnything) but most damage can be mitigated by using escrow when it comes to trading tangible items.  For coupon codes/gift cards that might be purchased with stolen CC info it's harder to avoid being scammed.  My advice would be to stay away from new accounts offering such digital goods and stick with established resellers.

I also added to the list of suspect threads/users in the OP.

Added your informative thread in my list of defaulted loans above. This thread is almost sticky-worthy at the main marketplace section, especially if you would extend the guidelines to deal with all general dealing (goods, etc) and not only loans.

Bump for relevancy.

This is on page 1 alone.

If your suit was successful you could recover you loss from his future revenue.  If that were me I'd rather cough up the bitcoin now rather then have my first paycheck docked every week to pay for something I did when I was young and stupid.

Cool.   At least that is something.

The problem I see with that is this:

1) A 19 year old kid living in his parents basement takes out multiple loans in BTC and stops making payments.

2) After 90 days of non-payment the account would be given to a collections agency to recover Bitcoins?
Is that what BTCJam is going to tell a collections agent? I want you to recover 200 Bitcoins?

3) The collections agency won't sue for anything under 5K US.  I don't know if they would even be able to recover Bitcoins or if they would even accept the job.

They can't put any liens on anything.  The kid has nothing.  Just takes his first ding of many to come on his credit report.

4) You never see your BTC again and even if they recover anything the recovery fees will eat most of it anyway.

Yes.  I recently contacted them about this same issue and they replied that they will hand info over to a collection agency on behalf of lenders.

What does BTCJam do if someone defaults on a loan?

I see a few that I know are from deadbeats on this board.

Will BTCJam attempt to recover the funds from the scammer(s) via legal action?

All they did was collect people's ID and facebook page and a utility bill etc.  What do they do with that information if someone defaults?  Do they call the authorities?

With every rule there is a exceptiong like BCB said, Some newbies are just a little misguided. The more known members should try to guide them in the right way. If they resist then let the onslaught begin lol.

Great info man, im sure some newer members will find it handy to reference.

I was told the best way to gain trust is to reveal your name and not hide behind pseudonyms. But I guess having a business mind and wanting to get a business up and running straight away requires hiding your real name and not getting a business up and running until you have trolled for 3 months to pretend you don't want to run a business. Then have a sudden eureka moment and ask for a loan then???

Dont get me wrong advice to weed out scammers is a good thing but my way of spotting scammers is this

1) to buy real world products - thats a red flag for me because if they can't get FIAT loan from a bank/friend or family then a stranger shouldn't trust them either.
2) their loan wont be used to make money, but to purchase objects - second red flag as you have to ask yourself if they cant buy it themselves how will they repay.
3) just like number 1, but for sob stories such as hospital bills, car maintenance
4) they hide their real life info and have dodgy pseudonyms like nefarious and pirate.
5) their use of bitcoins has nothing linked to the community to make it a better place. but request a personal loan as appose to a community growing business loan.
6) they don't seem interested in bitcoin's future growth. they just want money.
7) they don't want to use a middle man like a respected community member or a service like BTCJAM

i do agree about the trolls/scammers using female identities to tug on guys heart strings for funds being a red flag. women in reality don't ask for loans, they get a man to do it in his name, take his funds in the divorce and leave him with the debt. lol

I think the drug, arms dealers, hackers, etc should remain anonymous with pseudonyms but anyone asking for loans or starting up a business should be open and honest about their identity. I know i'll repay my loans so I have nothing to hide and don't fear knocks on my door in the middle of the night.

Great post.

For the record
1.  I have been scammed by an actual female!
2.  I 've had great trades with lots of newbees, so they are not all bad.

But the point is be cautious, ask questions, and just say no if something doesn't seem right.

Research the user's other posts and trades.  Do they have feedback.  (even that can be faked)
Also, GOOGLE is your friend.  Google their user name, google the paypal email BEFORE you send. 
You'd be surprised by what you fine.  The name or email on other scammer lists.  Also I've found more then a few paypal emails on a published list of hacked email accounts which is never a good sign.

Alright, so I've been PM'd by a few people what red-flags to look out for since I have a pretty good track record of spotting scammers.  Sometimes I get it wrong, but better safe than sorry.  Anyway, watch out for the typical behavior from scammers who will usually fit at least two or three (and sometimes even more) of the following characteristics:

0. Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie and you're doing business with another newbie, there's a 100% chance that you will get scammed (or you're a scammer yourself).
1. New account (usually created within the last 3 months, plus or minus)
2. Low-medium message count with vapid posts of little to no contributory value
3. Use of a seemingly realistic first/last name as their forum account name
4. Signs posts with full name
5. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Lending (requesting a loan of course)
6. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Currency Exchange (PayPal, Liberty Reserve, Western Union)
7. Straight out of Newbie mode and selling gift cards/codes/Steam games of any kind (they'll often be purchased with stolen CC info, leaving you holding the bag later on down the road)
8. Any user blatantly claiming to be female
9. New user trying to sell an Apple iAnything
10. Sob stories asking for handouts
11. Never send to a Bitmerch.com address for escrow!!!
12. Scammers will try to scam you out of amounts as little as BTC.001 or even less. Do not think that just because the requested amount is trivial that it's any more legit than a 1000 BTC loan request.
13. Any user who tries to get you to use escrow through Escrow.com is a scammer, PERIOD.

There.  Pretty much in a nutshell how to spot a scammer.  There's still some finesse to spotting a scammer, but these rules will separate most of the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.  Oh, and I guess there's one more rule:

13. NEVER DO BACKROOM DEALS VIA PM WITH NEW USERS. Make sure all deals are negotiated in the open forum for both public record and peer review.
