Sob story scammers... Plenty of them out there.
You'd actually be surprised about how small amounts these people are willing to scam for. Like SuperD007 literally got scammed for 0.0015 BTC ($10). This is why as a community, nobody should lend to people with no valid collateral even if you can afford it. It sets a precedent which means that more of the same scam type will come back, begging for loans.
Here's the address that SuperD007 was supposed to be paid back to:

Nothing there at the moment, and I don't expect a newbie with no reputation that's already abandoned his account to show any remorse. High ranking members can default on no collateral loans, it has happened before. Let alone newbies.
