They're still here, but not in the lending subforum for the time being. Try taking a look around the Marketplace and Service discussion for 'investment opportunities' and fast 'deals'.

I think they have registered new accounts and started a "noob hurt feelings movement."  Grin

It does look like the scams have tapered off a bit thanks to many people keeping their eyes open.

When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this: 

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I've also noticed a significant slow down in gift-card/code sales in Marketplace too. On the flip, there's been a handful of newb lenders offering fractional loans. Hmm...

I've noticed that too. Everyone is desperate to make BTC any way they can, it seems.

I'm afraid as the economy tanks, it will only ramp up.

Must be a coinkidink that all those 2011 accounts with exactly 6 posts under their belt posted in that thread back to back. Cheesy
