Well, nothing really. I did a quick glance through it. I had good luck until this particular one. So i was willing to take the chance.
I'm not going to beat myself up over it. It was an honest shot i gave to someone. I give people the benefit of the doubt until i'm wronged.
I've been wronged, so the bank is closed. It was a smaller loan, so it is what it is.
Also, as a new member i know it's hard to garner the trust of others so it's nice to have someone take a chance on you.
I had someone take a chance on me, it worked for the both of us. Was hoping to reciprocate that for another fellow member.
I applaud for your 'zen' reaction. In normal life giving people the benefit of the doubt works out much more frequently than it does on forums, simply because in normal life you get to actually meet people and assess them, and you 'know who they are' in case things go wrong.
You sound like a very nice guy but unfortunately, every successful scam harms the reputation of this forum and encourages more scammers to come here, so please consider carefully before offering any more loans. Peace.
