Topic: Looking for 4 BTC Loan for 2 Days (Read 2351 times)
PSY: I take that back. I guess the point I was trying to make it that you are Hammering people for even considering some of the trades/loans where as Tomatocage give an explanation (unfortunately after the fact).
And gweedo if it really was a scam I'm going to send you 1 BTC for being a nice guy and contributing to our education.
Now we've all learned.

Thank you very much and bitcoins are a learning experience and we all make mistakes and that is how we learn, I still love bitcoins
You're a good man, gweedo. At least it was only ~$20 worth of BTC. As a general rule of thumb for the future, anybody with an account less than 4-6 weeks old asking for handouts is 99% chance a scammer.
I see it was I gave some a chance 4btc isn't a lot to me so if I could have helpped him out that would have been good, but it is what it is and we all learned something today.

This, especially the bolded parts. I'm too bored to call out scams this couple of days, and here they come again. (probably the same guy anyway)
Just trying to help a brother out.
That was nice of you, BCB

So, BCB, who's the naysayer now?
Here's the formula he used:
1. Look up reputable users on http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratings.php
2. Cross-check to see if the username is already taken on Bitcointalk
3. No? Good! Make a new username for reputable member from bitcoin-otc.
4. Make a few posts to get out of Newbie status
5. Make a beeline to Lending
So fucking obvious, I'm just sorry you didn't notice the red flags.

Thanks for this Tomatocage.
Obvious to you but not to those of us still tying to figure this all out.
Very helpful.

Well, moment of truth...
Seriously Gweedo?
yea why? I look at it this way, if he runs away with 4btc, it isn't going to kill me and we find another scammer, otherwise I help a new member build some loan credit as well as make a quick and easy bitcoin. I think this dude is good and is going to pay me back so I have faith.
Have you stopped to think that maybe you just gave 4 BTC more to a new account of the SAME scammer?
Next time you can just throw away the bitcoins to the address in my signature. I will at least say "Thank you".
And then people ask how come there's so many scamers on this forum... I wonder why....
Yes, I also looked at his post history.
If he's legit, he'll pay. That's all I can say.
I'll refrain from saying more. Don't want people accusing me of being the reason for someone not paying their debt.

I'm curious how it will unfold :p sub
And I'm curious how much longer it is til you post a loan request and/or a giftcard for sale ;)
I don't have/get any giftcards :P and nobody here would probably lend me any money (no, I don't need to borrow any) so I wouldn't even try ;)
I see you figured it out. What the feeling reallly THAT good??
...No.
I actually thought it was pretty easy, since I went along with the video tutorial. However, for mass market, the current method isn't appropriate.
I see you figured it out. What the feeling reallly THAT good??
psy you are such a neysayer. you've been on the board since April 2011 with over 2000 post so you've seen more and maybe even been scammed. Are there any stats on the board regarding the ratio of good to bad loan or trades to back up your obviously strong opinion? Is OTC the only answer for trades/loans? Just trying to understand the logic.
No, I haven't been scammed in any loan. Only time I got scammed was for a carton of cigarettes. lol
And I'm not a naysayer, just realist.
I don't need stats to prove anything. Time does that for me. But stats couldn't be based on rate of good and bad loans only. You would have to base them on good and bad loans but separate them into loans given with proper diligence or loans given lightly, like this one "Oh you want 4 BTC? Take them my friend!".
About OTC, I can't say. Don't use them and probably never will. Maybe if they come out of the 1990's straight to the 21st century internet I will.
I hear you about otc. I tried to sign up but didn't have the time to figure it out. If bitcoin is going to "reach the masses" stuff like that has to be as easy as hitting a "like" button. With regards to due diligence what are you suggesting. Time on the board, number of posts. I guess number of past good trades would help (OTC again). I see one poster putting handle+1 in his sig to indicate good trades, building more cred for him then those he identifies I suppose.
But...you wouldn't get the "THANK GOD I FINALLY FIGURED THAT OUT" feeling if it was easy...
