Bitcoin Forum

You may want to consider making this a fiat loan instead of Bitcoin since you'll have to pay for your medication in fiat anyway. Plus, if you accept PayPal for this loan, you'll leave potential lenders an option of recollecting their funds.

you asked for a loan on your very post in another thread right?

I was recently a victim of a hit and run, my crappy Coventry Insurance didn't cover anything so I am stuck with a ton of bills and I can't even afford to buy Acetaminophen 4 with Codeine and my Valtrex for my shingles. Please help me in my time of need. I'll pay everything back on the 1st of May when I get my disability check.

I need a loan of .75

I have no collateral.

But I have opened a listing on Btcjam.com to make investors more willing to help.

Would you mind posting your picture of you holding a paper with your forum name written on it?

If you can prove that you need loan for your health maybe there will be some people willing to give you donations.

 Anyway, watch out for the typical behavior from scammers who will usually fit at least two or three (and sometimes even more) of the following characteristics:

0. Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie and you're doing business with another newbie, there's a 100% chance that you will get scammed (or you're a scammer yourself).
1. New account (usually created within the last 3 months, plus or minus)
2. Low-medium message count with vapid posts of little to no contributory value
3. Use of a seemingly realistic first/last name as their forum account name
4. Signs posts with full name
5. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Lending (requesting a loan of course)
6. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Currency Exchange (PayPal, Liberty Reserve, Western Union)
7. Straight out of Newbie mode and selling gift cards/codes/Steam games of any kind (they'll often be purchased with stolen CC info, leaving you holding the bag later on down the road)
8. Any user blatantly claiming to be female
9. New user trying to sell an Apple iAnything
10. Sob stories asking for handouts
11. Never send to a Bitmerch.com address for escrow!!!
12. Scammers will try to scam you out of amounts as little as BTC.001 or even less. Do not think that just because the requested amount is trivial that it's any more legit than a 1000 BTC loan request.

TLDR: Be careful before you freely give away your coins. From the evidence collected here, you stand substantial chance of getting ripped off if lending to someone who fits the scammer profile.  If that chance is worth making an extra 1-10% on your money, I can't stop you.

Yep, he did - his very first post on this forum was to ask for a loan.

He's on disability - limited income - there is no way he's going to pay back any loan when he doesn't have to.  You can't sue someone who is on disability.   :-\

I loaned him 0.09 a few days ago and he paid back 0.1 today.

I hope the issue is solved?

Don't sweat it man, people just love dragging problems.  But it's alright. Thanks for the assistance once more.
