I don't want to sound like a dick, but why the hell were you trading with him? His trust rating is in the shit. I'd almost say you deserved to have your money taken.

Also just to make it clear Deep1, you are wanting people to 'invest' in a form of gambling. It frustrates me that people try to pass of trading as anything else.

Why anyone would fill a loan like this, but not fill a loan for a straight up gambling request.

The short answer is no. Collateral is king around here.

The longer answer is, due to so many people being scammed. Even though they have the full details of the user giving up your information isn't an acceptable form of collateral anymore. Too many people have had details of a borrower and not been able to do something about it.

Also think of it this way. You are asking a stranger to lend you $55 dollars. Can you imagine giving such a loan yourself? In my opinion a LOT of people wouldn't, yet still seem to think that asking for it is acceptable.

Sorry if I have come across as overly negative, but the apparent naivity is really frustrating.

Just so you know, trust loans mean zero around here. There have been far too many people who have gone the trust loan route to then rip someone off for a lot of money.

I am another happy customer. A quick and painless transaction. So far he is a credit to this forum.

I defended Projects earlier in this thread, but it seems that something decidedly sketchy is going on here. It truly seems to me that pretty much no-one on this forum can be trusted. Sad times indeed.

Just to add, when I dealt with him he had a UK bank account.

I think it's highly unlikely that Projects is trying to scam anyone. For the last year or so he has been a solid member of the community. I have personally bought and sold bitcoin from him in the past with no problems whatsoever.

On the other hand his account may have been hacked. Here's hoping that it all gets resolved.

Lol at 'In the meanwhile please rest assured that your Bitcoins are as safe with us as they would be with a Swiss bank.'

No problem, congrats on getting it filled.

I'll do this loan. I don't mind taking a gamble for £7.50 pm me your paypal address if you still need the loan.

You do realise you just came here and asked strangers to lend you £4150 right?

Wow, this forum truly shows me the depths that some people go to beg for money. It's pretty incredible if you ask me.

I'm glad that the spammer has been given neg feedback. He is even crazier than Joey.

Maybe she wants to be a benevolent benefactor? Some how I doubt it very much though.

I expect that they know fine well it is illegal, they probably think though that the way these forums work, especially the Scam forum where people are generally guilty until proven innocent, they would be able to get some easy money as the OP would be scared into handing over the bitcoin.

Welcome back Dank. You are definitely a scammer, but you wacky craziness does make me laugh. I am sure you will provide much entertainment for all.

At least you put some creative effort into your scams I guess.

I am not in a position to help you, but I just wanted to make sure that you do realise you would be expected to hand over the litecoins first.

I actually disagree with this, it isn't Friedcat's responsibility to deal with such situations. The only time Friedcat would be responsible in my opinion is if someone is hacked and shares are transferred without their permission.

The details of that person may not even be the person you dealt with online. Another part of the scam can be to purchase the cheap part from someone else and then provide your details so that the scammer is now an invisible 'middleman' of sorts.

Wow, I'll be honest if I was your customer I wouldn't be happy either. If I paid for a service and it only worked for me for half of the allotted time then I would be annoyed as well.

You have said a couple of times that you think it is reasonable to release your customers details with you as he has made false accusations, but I don't see where you are disputing anything that he has said? While I don't think you are a scammer I definitely think your customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

I agree that trust is the key factor, in the Bitcoin community there has been too many companies that have ripped off their customers.

Another key thing that needs to be worked out is a stable system that isn't going to be affected by regulations too much. I happily used intersango for a while but unfortunately they ran afoul of the British banks.
