Added Currencevents to green list. As always, lenders are still advised to use caution when dealing with new accounts.

Posted this before, but:
I'm not a scammer. Take a look at my eBay rep (same name). I'd even be happy to send first with older members.

All my listings are escrowed.

I sell Xbox cards because I buy them in bulk. Just trying to get into the bitcoin market, too.

Hmm didn't know I was profiled, can we get an update that I have paid back/Bought over 6btc without issue?

was paid back yesterday.

I will close the loan thread.

You are doing a good service to the board. I wish I found this before getting scammed by dealing through PM.

Thanks for the update. I'm sometimes slow to keep this thing up to date I'll move you to the green list in a min...

Updated. Grats on the successful payback, shibaji -- you're now on the green list, and you've moved up a notch in our book. That puts you at notch 1

Looks like there is a new trend developing - asking for loan with hacked account of reputed members. May be we need a list where members can put their name in if they never plan to apply for a loan without collateral.

Dunno what is the solution

I have repaid 8 loans to be accurate and only late on the last one
