Then this guy asks for a loan of $10 with collateral of amex serve and netflix acct (later found out he was selling it as a "shared account":

Then this one asks me for a $6 loan without collateral but some bets on top of payment back:

I just say that they haven't been back for a week now when they defaulted and am thinking they were all the same person under different accounts.

What do you think of this revelation that just occurred after a week has pasted (8 days ago.) ::)

This is typical scammer attributes if you ask me. :-[

You will come across of lot of scammers with same strategy, as they think that everyone are fool and they are smart. That is why when ever dealing with anyone try to go for escrow and even if you are giving loan, try to get signed message from the address which is used long back in the account. This will give more security.

That is alot to ask for just $7 and 0.006btc amount.
But now have a big one of 0.03btc that is looking to happen to me again because I don't see anything sent to my btc payment address and don't think they will pay back on the due time of 12 hours from now as they are asking for an extension and can not afford at my revised rate for going over the due date. The banks would do/charge the same rate if one of their customers defaulted on a loan even by 1 hour. Anyway they will where I live because they don't play around with their money and nobody here should expect anyone else would either. >:(
And the banks have collateral if they do run off and don't pay anything within 48 hours

I checked their profiles and they are all newbies or jr.member at best. They are to avoid especially in the lending section from which I see you are not receiving your expected payment back. Don't give them a chance in the beginning if they don't offer valid collateral. In the lending section if you see, anyone who is a newbie and ask for a loan without collateral gets painted in red.

And when you want to do the exchange of currencies, there are a few users there in the Currency Exchange section which has threads of many pages and dark green trust. Those are the only users which you can deal safely. All others contains risks.

Lending business here is not worthy anymore, you risk too much for too little in return.

Well,did you gave them loans ? I wouldn't be surprised if they're the same person.It's "YOU'' who should be smart enough to figure out what's what.Didn't you read what forum's marketplace sticky says ? Caveat Emptor.Take it seriously.

I agree with this--Lionidas, you are WAY too trusting of people here.  You really ought to trust no one, and especially not noobs asking for loans.  Just don't give them the time of day, because they're going to try to scam.  And you know very well that accounts with green trust get bought & sold here, so rank and trust don't necessarily mean anything anymore. 

Look at that dick Zoomer.  Tried to be the internet police as a facade, and then he scammed.  Bought account.

Be very wary.
