Hi, I know I'm a JR Member and I don't have much collateral. I recently got scammed by Latium and I sold off all my BTC / Alt coins so I could pay off some personal loans.

I'm a 26 year old Electrical apprentice from Halifax, NS and times are rough.. I've got bills to pay and awaiting a payment from the Military which I should receive in the next two weeks(recently released from the military).
I need 0.41 BTC and I'll pay back 0.50BTC within 10 days or sooner.
For collateral I have two facebook groups with a total of 4000 real members, and I have a microworkers account with $32 on it, Cpagrip with 81 referrals that make about $0.30 a day(lol).
I know I don't have much but its worth the try!

BTC Address: 1LHh9UWSvHMwWDEapCg71T6H2Q1jbe5hcK

I'll take whatever kind of coin you want to give me, BTC or ALT or whatever.

Anything will help! Will give 25%+ Interest.

Thank-you!

I was about to call you scammer, instead I'll just call you "misguided".

You will not get a loan here without collateral, even worse if you are looking needy. Just call your creditors and explain the situation.

don't you have any friends or family or can throw you a bone since you're 100% gtd to receive a payment from the military?

Borrow from family or friends.

Stop asking for a loan on here without collateral.

Do you have any items of value? Gold? Latest smart phone, tablets, etc?

Any valuable things? Those can be used as physical collateral.

Is it the same value of the loan?

Shipping of the computer back and forth will be worth more than the loan.

monbux is in Canada, and he does escrow. How much is your computer worth?

Tell me the specs, and I can tell you around how much it would be worth.
What city in Canada are you in?

Wait.  Did you do any upgrades to the barebone? Did you max out the memory?

(I know that's a shit barebone, and how much it'll cost to ship. Just wanted to know.)

I would consider this with photographic proof of your situation, and even then, if I can't accept it, it could still help you--any and all documentation and/or pictures should have a handwritten piece of paper with "jeremyhalifax88" visible in the image. Avoid redacting if possible.

I currently can't lend 0.3, but I can pick up one-third of this, which could help pay your most essential bills.

Anyone can check repayment by checking this address.

I would suggest making an itemized listing of expenses that you need to get squared away urgently, so that people know what the money is going to, and understand just what amounts are urgently needed. It could help attract other potential lenders.

My first reaction was to help you, but I don't have a lot of faith in these kind of transactions.
I'm almost certain you're in a desperate spot.  But, bringing a loan into your life, when desperation is visiting, is rarely a blessing.

I'm going to send you 0.01 BTC, but I'm just giving it to you.  I know it doesn't help you the whole way, but I was going to just give it away through a silly game anyway on Monday, and I think you have more use for it.

I apologize that I couldn't convince the other part of my brain to go the whole way.  But I feel for you, and I wish you the best.

On a similar note, I can't afford to give away the .1 I sent, but I am willing to extend it if needed, and not take interest. Just let me know if you need to extend the time.

Jeremy, have you considered any of the online BTC lending websites? They have the functionality to verify who you are and to provide a formal system for repayment. There are many individuals that want to support the armed forces but we have seen to much fraud to act without 100% certainty.

The signed pic looks fake...

I hope to god your not a scammer cause, for the people who really need help will get ruined by this.  I pray you are not a scammer and you do fulfill what you need to do, I will donate something later please let us know how much you have now.  What about a picture with you and ur kids so we can see thats really you and a paper saying thank you to the bitcointalk members

With a shoe on your head thanks

Hello Man, i received your PM. I've read the thread and i'm going to say that you seems genuine.

Look mate I don't know whats your deal  but I really don't like you sending PM , this way you are just gonna loose your account as most of the members just gonna report your account for spamming in personal msg.

okay you sent me a pm. I went to the thread.

 I was annoyed I wanted to report you.  but  you are lucky .. I am a US Navy Veteran  I gave them 5 years of service.  I won't report your blind pm.

  So do yourself a favor don't ask for money with a pm.

I also got a PM, you shouldn't be spamming a bunch of users, that doesn't look good, and two you can get banned for account spamming.
Just stick to a bitcointalk thread, and don't private PM everyone.

Eventually you'll hit the wrong person, and he'll click the report account button. Every time you send a PM off, you are taking a gamble. Don't risk it anymore.

PM as below.

Just stick to the bitcointalk thread, you got lots of ppl already by doing this. Keep doing it, and you should be good.

https://blockchain.info/tx/ae1eae798d661f1a9e1688af3128f787f03f0ce5248e60e59b34dad809e4bb93
0.02475 BTC sent to 1LHh9UWSvHMwWDEapCg71T6H2Q1jbe5hcK

Here's a little donation on your way.

Just stick to the bitcointalk thread,

Stop pming random people as you will hit the wrong person and you will be banned, I am just warning you.
I am not against you or anything, but I am warning you someone will eventually report you.

If your banned, you won't get any more help. If you want to optimize it to the maximum potential for help.
Then stick to a bitcointalk thread.

Dude you shouldnt PM that just made you look bad, I understand your desperate but u said you needed .30 btc  which is 185 dollars right now.  now your asking for 300?  thats like .47

It sucks being in these types of positions. Ive been down on my luck... I wish i could of helped you but all my btc is on alts and selling now will make me lose out.

I hope you get the help you need. If anything comes up on my side, im sure to let you know

I would have lend to you, maybe even donated, but your sob story didn't make me sob enough. I'm sure there are people in 3rd world countries in much more need.

Well quoting the pictures is kinda bad then.

Do you have any evidence to support you will be getting paid soon?  Also, how about the eviction notice?

No need to feel sorry it was just a heads up, if you'll send it to every other member on this forum you'll eventually end up loosing your account , btw you were initially asking for a 0.3BTC load now it says 0.41btc .? what happened btc is still floating around 610$-620$ where you initially started this thread.

So say you get all the btc you require. How are you going to cash it out in time? Last I checked, you can't pay rent with btc anywhere.

I noticed you ignored my very reasonable request for you to post the eviction notice.  My personal reservation is it feels too much like you are just trying to get your $300 back that you gambled away on the pyramid scheme you bought into.

Thanks, and some proof that you are getting money in 10 days would be nice too.  Otherwise, be straight up and just ask for a donation, because if you're broke now, you will still be broke in 10 days.  I've been down on my luck before, and money problems are among the worst problems (I would say right behind health problems), but debt is no picnic either, and I suspect the unsecured Internet creditors would be first on the list to get shafted if you are short in 10 days.  

I am not sure you are even going to have time to trade your cash for bitcoins.  You have to deposit your check, which takes a bit to clear, and then 4 business days minimum from Coinbase.  I do not see repayment happening in 10 days to be honest, just due to transaction times.

I could have done with a leg up when I was your age. And some random person did help me - so here you go

0.025 - gift

Cannot believe this, calling scam because I am a natural cynic and once he got close to "goal", he raised it up some lol. 

No offense to OP..
But a few weeks ago you were just asking to buy LATIUM.. now you're begging.. IMO.

Hi,

I am energycoin Dev. Just read your message. I don't know if you're in a situation or not. But I just sent you 0.1 btc. Hopefully that fills your need. And if you can never pay back. No worries, it's little amount. That's all I could help as I am already spending a lot on my EnergyCoin and paid 1btc for android wallet as well..

Good luck.   :D

needed amount goes up , you got quite a lot of money there , about what i get in 3 months with my regular payout ... damn i should start begging on the internet

Look mate this is last warning this is the second time you are sending me a PM I'm not interested in, I can understand that you might need some btc but I'll again suggest you to pls avoid sending PM's to random members, only thing this will do is block your account

today at 11:46. but isn't his loan already filled?

I just recieved the same PM.

He's starting to resort to spamming, I really hate being the bad guy but people like this get really nasty and aggressive when you tell them no, I got the same PM's, even if they get the money they still make excuses on why they need more.

Hey man, this post does look genuine, i myself have been in some jams and believe me its no fun when you're up all night wondering if youre going to eat the next day or even be able to afford your rent so i feel you there and if i could help i would but i'm still waiting on a small SL business deal but when i receive my coins i'll gift you some, no need to pay back

I received the PM, a few mins ago. My immediate reaction was "oh nice scam", seriously PMs make you look terrible. I also dont feel comfortable with your raising the amount. However that being said, reading this thread this seems somewhat legitmate but Im currently on holiday so I dont have any funds that I could send right away which means that unfortunatly Im unable to help.

I guess not otherwise no point of sending PMs , initially he asked for 0.3btc and then updated to 0.41, I hope he's genuine.

Guys, this is a scam. This should be plainly obvious as he has up'd the ante and has now resorted to spamming us with PMs.

@OP If you really are former military mercenary .. Karma can be a bitch sometimes.

also received the mail.
tztztztz

ok seems to be a scam. this quite a shittest way to scam people.
now next time none of us are going to help a man in need because of this scam.

Could or could not be a scam.

However, even he is sincere, still begging randomly to people after he achieved his original objective looks really bad.
I feel sorry for the guy if he is genuine. And sorry for the donators if he is not ;-)

Its strange tho because at first it actually looked genuine but now he's not even responding to the accusations, unless i misread but who knows?I personally hope he isnt a scammer but if so then a lesson learned from anyone who has donated bitcoins.

You bring it absolutley and very specific to the point.
Thats the most worst thing, that someone in real need will not receive some help.

Well people warned you not to beg by PM, jeremy.
Hopefully, some good people here gave you enough money to cover your expenses, so I hope you will act in a responsible way now and pay your debts to them in the future when things will get better.
And don't play will crypto-currencies if you are so desperately short on cash man, you should have other priorities.

okay. so you have got enough funds to fix your things and get up. if it was a scam it wouldnt hurt us because we are already donating. it only makes people not believe humans anymore. dont do it. cheers.

No picture of eviction notice still, I see.

1a8LDh3qtCdMFAgRXzMrdvB8w1EG4h1Xi is my bitcoin address I will loan you whatever you need at 15% interest per month.

Well, I've got to side with everyone else here on the PM issue. Sending random PMs was definitely not the way to go, but hopefully the donations and loans coming in are helping you. That being said, I recommend that you stick with this new account and try to stay within the rules, so eventually you could use it to facilitate more transactions.

Begging for junkcoins ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=684090.msg7890836#msg7890836

Why did you spend it in small chunks ?

https://blockchain.info/address/1LHh9UWSvHMwWDEapCg71T6H2Q1jbe5hcK

Please post a picture of some mail with everything but your first name, city and province blotted out. :)

Im quite surprised to see people actually lending him some btc, would be nice in the end if he does pay back. Are people now loosening up on collaterals e.t.c because theres not many successful scams around?

Probably a scammer, he's been reporting this thread asking us to delete it.

LOL

Man, I've been so busy lately I'm catching all these scams at the end of their life.  :(

Maybe you should stop licking your boobs and start saving peoples monies.

I'm not a scammer. I want my shit off of here because I'm obviously not wanted here and I'm tired of being called a scammer every 2 seconds.
Thanks for everyone who gifted me BTC and I will pay back with interest the .1btc loan I got once I get some monies transfered.

I'm good to go and I actually got paid, I'm going to be transferring some cash to coin base asap.

I only lick one.  The other is reserved for the ladies.

Since when is it my unpaid job to save people money?  I do what I do as my part to protect the bitcoin price.

I don't think this thread should be deleted but should be left as a reminder to other beggars why most of us won't give to these people, if you need help, go to a legitimate charity, don't go panhandling on the internet because it's no better than doing it in real life.

People like to defend this and claim it's only a select few people but the fact is it's a real problem and they're preying on other peoples' generosity.

hmmmmmm  you made me look like a fool trusting your generosity, now I see why no one can trust anyone no matter how good the story gets, yoou should be ashamed of yourself, and in life when you really need money your not gonna get a dime, what happens when you runs out of scams?  Go get a job and stop taking advantage of people kindness.

Ouch, I feel sorry for the guys that bought into his sob story. People will do and say anything to rip someone off. Here is a prime example of how you ruin it for people that actually do need a loan.

There's no reason to try to delete all evidence of this thread unless you were up to some shady shit.

Also received this PM will be neutral on this and I guess see how it turns out
Hmm but think the Latium paid out or is an ongoing scam >??> or cheating the system mmm.

I don't get the altcoins lol tried to figure it out just a mess.

Why did people send him funds ? I am curious how he convinced  you guys he was genuine ?
it really did not take much did it.. an then when people started send him money he decided he needed more ?

that is just going to make scammers or people in his 'situation' come here more often.. its like when you feed the pidgeons.. and a huge swarm of them come in.... and you can never get rid of them..

did he pay the original guy the 0.1 back ????

I believe there was much more proof with pictures/dated messages, even a picture of himself holding up dated messages, which I would assume were deleted. I didn't look too closely at the images for validity myself but it seemed more legit than most scams to me until I saw the PMs being posted but I can understand why someone would have had a soft heart.

He still has a chance to make good on his promises.

Didn't he say that the original account was banned ?

where is the OP

I think they just banned him from posting/sending PMs, not logging in.  Not 100% sure though.

good thing I took a screen shot of this bastard now should I post it, so everyone can see the scammer?  or you gonna pay back something ?

What happened here? Did the OP run a donation scam?

Very sage.

Until now, I really didn't get how much harm could be done by participating.
I figured, if it's not legit, it's on them.  My intentions were pure.

But, in reality, when you enable one scammer, they become 20 scammers. 
Then, everyone has a sob story.  And there is no good way to differentiate between people who need help and those who are scammers.

So, F it.  No more blind bitcoin philanthropy.
Need to pay your rent, go deliver some pizzas.
He spent so much time and effort panhandling here, he could have done enough in the real world that would have earned him the couple hundred dollars he needed. 
If it's one thing we need in Bitcoin, it's less scammers, not more.

even people who do need help may struggle to pay back on time ...needy people usually stay broke

Yay, hopefully you will stick to what you said.
Bloody people here in Australia claim their are no jobs or immigrants are stealing them. It is such BS. Immigrants do them because the locals do not want to.
When I was 18 I worked in a car wash until I started my proper career shortly after.

But yeah giving donations is just enabling.
Why not give some junkies some heroin, jam the syringe right in their arm for them :p

And yeah I honestly believe it is like feeding the pidgeons as I said earlier. You feed one, the others will never leave you alone.
The guy had an internet connection and a PC.. some one had obviously paid for that. Let him borrow money off them.

Wow is this really happening, this guy was sending PM's to random members and its quite obvious that most of them must have reported it , and it appeared like he's not bothered about it as long as people sending him BTC.
 Fortunately most of the members sent him donation and not loans. so they knew that its not coming back.

Such a huge amount of effort went into this scam I don't understand why people don't focus their energy on providing value to other people instead of trying to dupe others.

Honestly, I thought this guy could be legit. Glad I didn't waste any money on him.

Luckily one person saved his pics before he removed it. Rehost the pic and post it back on here. It's pressure for him to pay back the loans (not donations).

It's on google images along with some other interesting stuff. Shame no one checked him out beforehand : /

What are the chances someone registers just to say this... aka spam

Same here.  Luckily didn't fall prey to this hustle and fully agree if energy focused on some legitimate enterprise for the amount of effort he placed in this thread.

Well I've just been revisiting the lending subforum lately and it really seems like 80%+ are scams and some rather elaborate at that, perhaps if you have many going at once it's 'worth it'?

The hotmail email address means that this is almost 100% some kind of scam. Likely trying to get a copy of the OP's ID.

Scammers scamming scammers?!  ???

Hey OP guy.  Put down the crack-pipe and payback the people you owe fella.  That little boulder isn't going to last you forever guy!
