Great post. I will be checking this every time I make a trade. I am thinking about asking for a loan so I'll have to make sure I provide the proper identification and all that first so I don't get marked as a scammer Wink

Due to the recent wave of scams, I've felt it necessary to add an additional item (#0) to the list. It's not really a way to spot a scammer, but more so helpful advice to keep you from losing your coins.

Hi

Saw a thread on loan forum and here i am Smiley

I can provide my home phone number+new bills+id card so you feel safe with me.
I need 5 btc for a maximum of 1 months.

Probably safe to chalk that one up as a scammer. I'll add him to the list in a little bit.

Great thread. Someone recommended John K to use for escrow in selling my vid cards, so thanks, John!

Being interested in the community and growing my reputation I'm looking at OTC.

I'm going to stop updating this list. Nobody ever pays attention to it anyway.

It seems an idiot will invariably come along and throw money at anything.

Yes, it's annoying as hell watching "the stupid" on continuous loop.

I need to stop reading these threads.

I appreciate the effort too, and it's surprising to see my name on there. Then again, new accounts asking for a loan isn't exactly "safe", so I understand.

No, that's not true.  Sad I for one read this thread regularly, and I'm sure any newbies with half a brain will do so too.

John, is it possible to give edit privs to multiple people for a given thread? I barely have time for the forum with my schedule at work basically doubling. Now I'm relegated to browsing from my phone and it's a PITA to copy/paste on a phone.

All you are concerned about is what 'YOU guys' think is wrong. Like a loan request, you never consider the things like a high risk trade, the fact that someone is actually providing his real identification docs etc... no wonder this thread is useless.


BUT on the contrary you are doing a good job with an apparently good intent, but this is too much power for a single man. For all I know you can use this thread to extort someone.

None the less, this will and might reduce some chances of fraudency BUT it also destroys credibility based on false assumptions, but this doesnt mean I like either of you. Angry
