So this isn't very necessary as it appears most of us are aware, but I've just seen someone that's just done a reversible payment method transaction (they got paid) with a known scammer. In other words, people can't afford to fall for this too, newbies especially. The scam seems like a wave, it will probably die out fairly soon.
One person (or a group of people) have been consistently asking for the following types of lender: - A PRO lender
- A GREAT lender
- An EXPERT lender
or something along those lines. The account user also never has collateral, which is another basic rule, don't lend without valid collateral from the other party. They can also be seen by the English grammar in the post. However, not everyone here has English as a primary language, so don't assume everyone that has a few mistakes is a scammer. EDIT: The accounts also have very low post and activity numbers and are usually ranked Newbie, Jr. Member at most. In short, DO NOT TRADE with these accounts.
List of examples - Put together by SwingFirst (thanks ):

Good initiative. I wonder how he/she believes they will get a loan with literally 0 in previous post count without collateral..

That's a good point, I'll add that in, thanks. The scam stands out like a sore thumb, but new people can't see it and end up losing out, like the ManyMonies guy (that's not his name, I can't remember what it is, sorry if you're reading this ).

Yes it has, from numerous different alt accounts. It's probably a wave that will disappear though I think.

you're basically telling those people to make a better excuse the next time they try this. 99.99% of the members here already know that those users are going to scam.

Trusted an exchange that climbed to the top 3 in just under 2 years with your money? you are fucking stupid.

it might be obvious to the majority, but theres nothing saying that a small minority group of new users wont fall for this. on the bright side, manyproofs doesnt come online every single day with his alt accounts.

theres nothing here. message me if you want to put something here.

That's a fair point, however, 0.01% of people who don't have been seen. A few people have told them about their obvious trends in there posts, and they have ignored them. If they were to change the way they word their posts because of this warning post, there would still be a few fairly clear warnings they they wouldn't be able to (or it would hassle to) change.

I'm tired of seeing the so-called "pro lender" fools like ManyProofs and his gang hijack and spam this section. It's a shame newbies are falling for this.

Signatures? How about learning a skill... I don't care either way. Everybody has to make a living somehow.

Bro, don't you think that forum admin or moderator should note this issue and keep some limit over it.
I think newbie rank members cannot be given access to lending section till they reach to particular rank like member rank or a full member rank. This will decrease the bunch of threads posted by newbies asking no collateral loans to just spam the lending section.
