Topic: ["Risky" Loan] borrower [marcotheminer] - page 4. (Read 1041 times)

Came back on the forum long after and then asking non-collateral loan is one of the shadiest work. Almost all the cases it caused scam. Eg: loan default, account trade or something else.

You could be right OR could be wrong! 

It would only be cleared at the date of repayment of his previous loans.

Note: I would personally go with not funding the loan, as I don't find the reason of getting a 3rd loan legit. But it does not mean he is sure to default the loan.

I don't know how can you label a person risky before he has done any shady work here you can just keep it to a probability.

I see this forum as a place to make friends and on they way if I can help someone, buy just trusting him once  I am happy with funding him a loan for checking his trustworthiness. I am looking forward for 2double0 to repay the loan before the decided date. Hope this step of mine in funding the loan makes the situation more cleared.

He is not posting anything except asking loan, which refers to something wrong too. His recent days passing only by asking loan. No legit user take loan such a way where the first small amount then increases the amount. If you can find out 100 people like this then you may find out at least 95% loan default.

In the meanwhile time he was not active in this forum,anything may happened to him like he lost all his savings on bets or to the borrower who got never paid or whatever the reason maybe.For that calling him as a scammer is not appropriate until he did that.He is in need of money looks like because he only asked for loans on his recent posts.

I suggest you to not to give any loans for him until the already lend money gets repaid,because he might not be able to repay them in my guess.

Honestly you can't call him a scammer on doubt basis but its true that his activities are kinda strange. when a lender suddenly become a borrower it creates so many question for all and its undeniable. But current lender who are working with him should be careful before doing any big deal IMO. 

Yeah, he strikes me as kind of shady, I wouldn't lend to him.  Ever since 2double0 made this loan request I've had my suspicions about marcotheminer.  

I am not calling scammer, but I am telling e may scam base on my above points. Not for this single point. Please read all point. and also this point indicates scamming which happen at least 80% time for point number seven.

No, BIG NO.
You the lender has the right to disapprove his loan application when in your own judgement he is not capable of paying the loan for some reason.
Outside crypto, I've known a lot of people who have multiple loans but they were able to pay it because they have the capability.

So my point is, you only call it a scammer once he failed to comply with the agreed terms in case you approved the loan.

it is bizarre to me that he would be honest enough to put "risky" in the thread title, not sure why anybody would take him up on his offer. also 2 things to consider:

- 2double0 has an open loan with him (and another member)
- his activity is pretty spotty, went from managing campaigns to applying for them, giving loans to taking them

Not certain he's an outright scammer but even he knows its "risky" to do business with him, probably a red flag, lol.

I think marcotheminer is/will be a scammer. Need opinion from experts. The reason for thinking it:
1. He came back on bitcointalk after a long gap.
2. He was a lender and now he is a borrower.
3. He is trying to only take loan after came back. He is not contributing anything on this forum.
4. He was active lending service as well as borrowing (we told several times then he locked his lending service).
5. The first time he trying to take about 0.04/0.05BTC loan when failed tried to take small loan once repaid the small loan to bill gator received positive trust then again took a loan from Pamoldar, o.o4BTC and then again took loan 0.033BTC
6. Now he has two active loans and trying to take another loan 0.33BTC loan. Where all loans are non-collateral.
7. When a borrower took multiple loans without collateral are usually scammer.
8. According to Timelord2067: and 9. He asked loan from another person on the 6th march on PM archive.


Why I am  Posting:
1. As marcotheminer has positive feedback few people who do not know research may allow the loan which happened for the second loan. The previous lender did not give a 2nd loan because he knows the risk but new lender gave. Also the 2nd lender didn't give any neutral trust.
2. Trust can be changed for a different amount. For example, I may not scam for 0.05BTC but I may scam for.2BTC
3. I know "prevention is better than cure", so want to keep him away from taking the loan as want to stay him away from scams.
4. I have posted here as scam still not proved but I highly believe that it will be scammed.

Let me know if I am wrong.
