WHATEVER  ::)

I can do this loan. What's your address? Oh nvm, I see it in your sig. Ok, sent 100 BTC. I hope this helps!

That's just simply wrong Tomatocage no other way to say it. You did not send me 100BTC or anything for a matter of fact and unless it was a honest error on your part (I highly doubt) you should be ashamed on how you just represented yourself. I signed up with a company called Coinbase.com and although I'm verified it appears they have a 10 limit trade transaction per day. Anyone who actually has some decency and considering investing into me with a loan please contact me!

I forgot to include the transaction fee, so it might take a few hours to a few days to actually show up on the block chain. Keep an eye out for it.

I don't know if I should take you seriously or not, Wouldn't you prefer to speak with me in person or over the phone prior to lending money? I take it this is all a joke to you and unless you can clarify or appear legitimate im going to assume you didn't send anything.

You come here and want to lend 10.000$ with no trust. Are you serious? :D

Registered for less than 24 hours, wants to borrow $10,000.

Seems legit.

I guess "Go big or go home" was taken to heart.  ;D

Guys, he's a single father with 4 kids, must be legit.

We just need to hear about his recent car wreck, house fire, hit by a train, bus, plane story for verification.

Don't forget the story about how he was just made un-employed.

Past history has shown that people who borrow large sums of BTC (or any sum of BTC for that matter) have a markedly higher risk of becoming seriously injured to the point of requiring extended stays at a hospital, preventing them from paying back their loans or even logging into the forum. I flagged this guy with negative trust for his own protection and safety.

That is why we love you around here TC!

Keep that love between you and him, please. ;D
I still appreciate the switch to the irony side I've been seeing in your latests posts, TC.
Scambusting with a pinch of humor, just makes it more enjoyable!

PS : is aksplace really a fruit? Are you a fruit aksplace?

Oh, the win.

I understand what you're trying to do... but is it really helpful to abuse the trust system? If I asked for a loan would you give me negative trust?

Better safe than sorry.
And to answer your question, probably not before investigation. The only ones who get flaged right away are the ones jumping directly from newbie jail to lending/markeplace.

Take him seriously.  Humor us.

Perhaps people should have to put up 1-5 BTC before they're allowed to ask for a loan. It seems most loans that are below this are nonsense anyway, really, a loan to buy pot or a shirt? Please.

It isn't abusing the trust system by giving negative trust to someone who registered a new account and within four hours requested a (equiv) $11K USD loan. I challenge you to find a single successful loan request that was made by a same-day account that was ever paid back. You can begin your search using forum search feature here:

Let me know if you can find one because honestly I've never heard of a single one in the history of the Lending sub-section. I'm not trying to be sarcastic - I could be wrong since I haven't really checked that thoroughly. But without putting much effort into it I can probably point you to several dozen same-day loan request which were filled and NEVER paid back.

I'm fairly certain no one here is a "bank". You want a loan, have adequate collateral ready. Don't like the terms? Move along. When you offer loans then you can dictate terms. As for the flogging, do some light reading in the scam section, maybe something will click you you'll "get it".

Someone who registers and requests a $10,000+ loan within 24 hours of registering isn't exactly a legitimate borrower.

There is more to bitcoin than just borrowing money.

Because you need the debt in BTC.  I (or my company) had borrowed between 500 BTC and 1000 BTC for the better part of a year.  Then again we only offered reasonable interest, has a compelling reason (hedging instant quotes), and had been around for more than 1 day.

sent 200 bitcoins just incase you needed a few extra's for fun money

This one I could somewhat understand, because it's so obvious. But I see you do it on pretty much every single noob loan. Maybe someone did legitimately sign up here only to get a loan. It's not impossible.

But abusing the trust system because of what you think is just ridiculous. And really, all it does is make me (and I'm sure others) not want to trust you.

On the contrary, that's exactly what one of the aspects of the Trust system is for: To warn potential counterparts that they may be getting into a deal that's with somebody who isn't exactly above board. In fact even before Trust was implemented I, along with a core group of scam-busters, saved people from getting scammed out of over 220 BTC, last I tallied it. That figure is probably a lot higher than that by now. Granted, I called it wrong on more than a few occasions and may have hurt some feelings, but honestly I don't give a fuck.

You've saved people from 220 BTC? Me too, I guess, because I post whether or not I think someone is a scammer too. I probably post in lending the most out of anywhere I post and I've never asked for a loan or offered one.

As for the bolded point, cool. Needless to say you will never be in my trust list.

OMG NOOOO I'm not in J603's circle of trust! What ever am I going to do?!? LOL

Alright, I'll follow your example from now on.

well as everyone has so much money to waist feel free to send some coins my way  ;)

im homeless
i got hit by a bus
a plane landed in the living room and now i need a new front door
my dogs floating upside down in the fish bowl

any of this getting me sympathetic money???
what about pretty please :D

Uh-oh, sounds like a scam. Better give you negative feedback!

hmm does it really?? or does it sound more like a sarcastic joke.... maybe someones been at the computer to long.....
i also like how this didnt get highlighted my dogs floating upside down in the fish bowl

I wasn't really going to give you negative feedback. But be careful, had you had less posts Tomatocage would have jumped all over that.

haha yeh i know its why i like being a full member... plus if you have a case the admins can remove stipid peoples feedback... its only there to leave feedback if you have been scammed or had a good deal with someone and i think the admins should start checking any other use of it out :)

I believe there's a little more to it than just this.

I appreciate the response and although we do not know each other and your going on a limb against some of these internet tough guys It's beyond ridiculous. I read the rules section and did exactly what that member requested I do. Anything less than what I was requesting would be a waste of my time and a failure on what I was trying to accomplish. Again thank you for seeing eye to eye on that and a shame a few had to jerk all over this lending request.

You called it wrong on this one to and think you should die in hell, fair enough ?

I returned the favor to him  ;)

Tomatocage is on DefaultTrust. Those people are not.

(I also have a TON of untrusted negative feedback - it doesn't mean anything.)

It appears he removed my negative warning which is appreciated anyhow I went ahead and removed mine. I understand why one would jump the gun especially by looking at the deadbeats that have came and gone. There is no real face or name behind most of these cons sorta sad.

You are new, no collateral. Loan denied. Simple as that. Make enough fuss, keep providing your "I'm trustworthy" stance or such and you'll get flagged / red trusted almost everytime.

I am new but have plenty of collateral not sure why you think I have no collateral. What loan? I was not denied by anyone that I'm personally aware of. I made fuss because I got flagged for following the rules.
