Title: Collateral account banned Post by: jacee on January 23, 2016, 09:56:06 AM Okay so I lend this guy some coins and he gave me his account details. He asked me not to change the password because he will be using the account sig campaign to repay me.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1330875.0 Today was supposed the date that he will repay me and so I checked his account and found out that he hasn't logged in for a while so I decided to check his account and I saw this http://i63.tinypic.com/6xxf2c.jpg His account is banned so basically I get scammed and now I can't even use his provided collateral because it is banned. -_- My question is I know the mods here know whose alt this account is so I was wondering can I atleast know? Title: Re: Collateral account banned Post by: helloeverybody on January 23, 2016, 10:08:33 AM Your first mistake was taking the account as collateral and not changing the password, its hardly collateral if your not in control of it. Im afraid your screwed anyway, i doubt threes much you can do in this case except take it as a learning experience.
Title: Re: Collateral account banned Post by: SFR10 on January 23, 2016, 10:20:23 AM AFAIK mods don't know whose alt account is for which person, only admins have this ability and they could even point out if someone is using different devices while logged in IIRC. I do know the guy is one of our country man since you mentioned in the other post of yours on the local board so this could help narrowing it down to an IP from Philippines (assuming if his staying there). Although not sure admins would grant your wish into providing this information regarding another of his account, perhaps you could try to provide a sign message from him when requesting the loan (hopefully you didn't ignore asking for a sign message in the first place) and hope for the best for this request to be processed. One last problem would be, his only chance is, for him to only repay and no longer use any of his accounts on this forum since base on the SS above, it's a perma banned and anything he does with the other accounts will lead to those accounts getting banned as well if their not yet banned.

Next time be sure to check the concerned account before accepting any loan requests. If possible, try to avail other collateral, having 110% of its value with respect to the value of the loan. Did you sent an email to that address ? It's no use doing that I guess.

As an FYI, if you do this then you are not going to be able to secure the collateral. In order for any collateral to be able to properly secure a loan, you (or your agent, eg escrow) needs to be in sole control over whatever is being used as escrow. If I had to guess, I would say that chances are the ban had something to do with the (long overdue) warning that was posted here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1334019.0). |
