thanks for suggestion
I have secured account and changed both email and password before sending him loan.

that and they could have reset their password via email like someone did earlier today.

you better change the email if you haven't already.

Account password not changed, he signed message from staked address in january.
How it is possible within few minutes of sending loan someone said it was his account and someone else was using this but why the real owner wasn't aware when potential hacker used the account and staked bitcoin address in January.

I already offered whitephantom19080 if he can sign message I can give him account back after repay the loan amount, But I can't give account to a random person who can't sign message.

But if without signed message I given him account then we may see many request in lending board people claiming for high ranked collateral account in exchange of paying the loan amount.

This password was changed by me when I secured collateral but there is no other password change recently
thats why I given him loan no password reset/change recently

one was inactive for half a year and can only sign an address from 2 weeks ago and the other claims that it was his account yet is unable to sign any message.. both of these users are equally suspicious IMO.

and there's nothing wrong with what you posted on the second post.

@omegastarscream whitephantom posted on OP's thread.

It's indeed some confusing shit lol .
According to the Seclog , WhitePhantom changed his password : February 05, 2016, 03:44:31 PM - WhitePhantom - password changed

but there is something that I don't understand , how exactly "WhitePhantom1980" knew that you gave a loan to WhitePhantom if all taht happened in P.M ?

I told new account WhitePhantom1980 that if the borrower repay the loan then I will give account back to borrower and he can solve this matter with him


If borrower failed to repay then 2 things I can do

1) If WhitePhantom1980 can sign message from old bitcoin address I will give him account after he repay the debt

2) If WhitePhantom1980 can't sign the message then I will put the account on auction he can bid there to get the account.


I don't trust any other proofs but only signed message
Because it is possible account was sold without signed message and previous owner now trying to get is back showing other proofs.

I started lending service few days ago
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/giving-out-loans-sarahiko-bitcoin-loan-service-1352856

Yesterday I got PM from a user named WhitePhantom that he need loan for 3 days using his account for collateral.I asked him to sign message from bitcoin address posted by him in 2013, he said its old wallet and he lost it but he can sign message from bitcoin address staked last month.After some discussion I agreed to give him 0.05btc loan and he signed message from bitcoin address staked on 20 January.

BUT after few minutes of processing loan a someone created a new account WhitePhantom1980 and claimed that it was his account that got hacked and asked me not to send any money but the loan was already processed.I asked him for signed message but he said he can't sign message.


Now the problem is I am confused if someone is trying to trick me to get the account for 0.05 or account was really hacked.


3 things to notice

1) If account was hacked then why hacker doesn't changed the email and password of the account?
2) How hacker managed to stake bitcoin address in January.
3) How it is possible within few minutes of sending loan someone said it was his account and someone else was using this but why the real owner wasn't aware when potential hacker used the account and staked bitcoin address in January.


I am confused what is going there

The new user isn't able to sign message from any bitcoin address but borrower signed message.
It is possible the old owner sold the account and now trying to get it back.
