Additional Notes:
I advise you to not deal with this user until repayment has been made.

I'm back.  I'd give excuses for why I haven't been online, but I don't think anyone cares to hear them.  please respond to my pm and we can sort this out.

Guy hasn't logged in since 4th of June as Patatas mentioned. Consider that repayment was supposed to be at the 2nd of June, the chances of him actually coming back and making a repayment at this stage is honestly extremely slim.

If he had any intention of paying you back, then they would have at least came online and told you what's going on, even if he's busy.

So consider the coins gone. Even though it's a small amount, these loan scammers will basically scam for any amount which is why lending to anyone below hero member without any reputation isn't something that is done here. Sure, he gets tagged. But he'll just come back in another alt account and do the same thing. What I'm trying to say is simply don't lend without collateral, unless there is some kind of special reputation/trust involved with the user, even if they're gonna get tagged (they're going to abandon the account anyways after they scam).

So you didn't consider taking collateral as the amount was almost negligible? Why bother opening a thread anyway?
The account hasn't been active since June 04, 2018. Maybe they are busy IRL and would pay back once they come online? Regardless if they pay or not they do deserve a negative feedback for being a untrustworthy lender.

I opened this thread so the possible scammer gets tagged, at least temporary.

The amount is as you said negligible, and I am totally OK with taking the loss here.
Doing a good deed for the community by weeding out the bad seeds.
