Title: [REF] Review for booogabooo u=1797062
Post by: DireWolfM14 on November 26, 2019, 02:32:15 AM
booogabooo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1797062) sent me a PM directing me to my lending thread, where he posted a loan request (the same request as quoted below.)  After briefly researching the literally worthless token he's offering (https://etherscan.io/token/0x6e34d464d0ffbe903535f25db9a60c5e81821414) at "170% collateral," I deleted his post as spam.  What I didn't know at the time is he plastered the whole lending board with this spam.

Upon further investigation, I noticed the link he provided for his token points an "exchange" with fake activity.

It's easier to quote @Timelord2067 here for the other details:

Loan Amount: 0.0015 BTC
Reason for Taking out a Loan: private
Amount to be repaid: 0.002
Repayment Date: 30.11.2019 (with the option of extension or reduction while maintaining 10% per month)
Type of Collateral: ASK token as 170% collateral (https://www.exonium.one/e/accounts/trade?s=ASK_CSM)
BTC Address: 17oF1Xd9McbbofiVN6k3eV9AkgC8JdXa8b

Hi booogabooo and thank-you for your application. [1 (http://archive.ph/u08cu#selection-1675.0-1689.47)], [2 (https://web.archive.org/web/20191126004841/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5184177.msg53180149)].

Unfortunately it is denied as I am only doing small loans primarily to test out the lightning network.

*Edit*

Am half asleep - booogabooo hit up five lenders simultaniously:

Darkstar_ [1 (http://archive.ph/QCimH#selection-2767.13-2767.47)], [2 (https://web.archive.org/web/20191126005333/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3243635.msg53180165)] zazarb [1 (http://archive.ph/SHCn5#selection-8493.13-8493.47)], [2 (https://web.archive.org/web/20191126005336/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1161170.msg53180146)] shasan [1 (http://archive.ph/wcg0O#selection-4759.13-4759.47)], [2 (https://web.archive.org/web/20191126005340/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030169.msg53180158)] Royse777 [1 (http://archive.ph/lsVPw#selection-6205.13-6205.47)], [2 (https://web.archive.org/web/20191126005329/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5191146.msg53180186)] (and myself)

TL;DR:  Sure, he's only asking for $10, but he's getting red-tagged.

I really get suspecious when very lower rank member especially any brand-new account ask for a loan even with a colletaral lol.
Good thing that you exploded him.
Tag is also going from me however what I don't understand is that for less than $10 they can do such hard work :-P

Scammer was practicing for a larger scam later perhaps? Nice to see @suchmoon handing out seven merits for a post that is 50% my work quoted.

booogabooo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1797062) looks like a shill account for sure, not only from the loan requests he is posting recently but due to his support towards a ponzi or scam token AskBrains (http://askbrains.com/).

The token he is referring to as an collateral has an ANN thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5165263.0

Most of the accounts posting on that thread are already busted for offering bumping services. You can check more details here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120454.0).

I even think the account is also a part of the same ring and just trying to pull some BTC dust out by asking stupid loans. Pretty lame way of scamming.
