Request for help and a good deal.

[alephi]

Call me dumb, but I am stranded in the Philippines after my (ex)partner walked off with all my assets.  I need to raise about 1350GBP / 2000USD to return to the UK and get a job. I'm offering 100% interest on a 10 week loan to me, in part or whole, or some negotiable amount based on BTC exchange rate movements. I can provide details of my professional background, personal identity and credible UK based references to any lenders or anyone who thinks this might be a scam. 

Any alternative solutions would also be of interest.

My address is 1PPcjmrjKMh4zsrzpF6j4DiKykCfhZ2fz6.

Please PM me if you can assist.

1. this forum is not a charity
2. if you have a collateral someone will help you (collateral in worth of a loan)
3. I think ticket to UK is much cheaper.
4. sorry to hear that you are in need, but you know the rules and you know how this forum works
    loans like this one are dismissed if no collateral offered.

Okay, your dumb. Why would you not have backup money just in case if something went sour. I hate to break it to you but the best thing to do is to go the UK embassy to try to get this sorted out. You will not get a loan just promising that you pay something back with only a backup of identity, your professional and your references in the UK.

Jody give him some of his money back so he can get a ticket. Really now.

i didnt say that i will give him a money

I really don't see why you couldn't just go to your local embassy and seek some help there. If you were legit I'm pretty sure they'd have no problems helping you:

a) get in touch with relatives who can arrange for your travel
b) fly you over themselves

Plus, how is having BTC going to help you pay for your fare, you'd need to convert that into fiat before it's of any use.

[alephi]

In response to various replies above:

Apologies for not presenting this request correctly in the first place.

I do have some collateral in the Philippines.
Getting to my UK destination involves bus and train journeys plus 2 flights.  I also have a small debt here to settle and need to eat until I depart. It's probable that I could get to the UK for less but I'd be leaving myself open to more problems.
The person in question was my partner for 6 years. Sooner or later you have to trust the person you're with to some  extent. Obviously I made a mistake.
The embassy will help me to contact a sponsor in much the same way as I am doing here. They will not lend money.
My family do not have the means and I wish to avoid the immense distress this would cause my elderly mother.
If I were to make my identity, professional background and references known to any lenders, I think concerns about repayment would be greatly reduced.
I can sell BTC and transfer funds to my UK bank account and/or into cash here.
Any amount I can raise here would be immensely helpful, even if I can't reach my target.
I am in Moalboal, Cebu, about 3 hours bus ride south of Cebu City.

[alephi]

Thanks Jody, I'm staying in the house of a friend who has returned to the UK for a while so I'm not on the street, just penniless. I really appreciate the offer though.

So why you cannot earn money if you are waiting anyway?
Try to do something... better than asking people to send you money

I wish you will resolve your problems fast.

Cheers.

Yes, I'm looking for work on Freelancer.com and the like. Nothing so far.
It's not in my nature to sit around doing nothing and I'm not looking for a free handout. Nor do I like borrowing money.

you can try to work on some call center there in cebu

[alephi]

I did look at Call Centre and teaching English work. Only problem is I don't even have the bus fare to Cebu City now. Also I am a UK citizen not a Filipino and cannot get a work permit for regular work here. I'm actively seeking work through Freelancers.com but they hold payments for 14 days even assuming I can get work there.

It does look as if I will get a loan from a friend but not for about 6 weeks. Consequently, I only need to find about 300 USD to get by on, or the equivalent in BTC, if I'm prepared to hang on and hope he'll keep his word.

Alternatively, as a sign of my desperation, I'm prepared to offer 200% on the original request. I know I can walk into an extremely well paid contract in the UK and have several agencies ready with employment the moment I arrive in the UK.  I can verify this.

I can also provide my UK passport details, a valid UK address, access to my LinkedIn and Facebook pages, my UK bank details, my Philippines and UK phone numbers and UK references.

[Vod]

Obvious scam. 

[Duomo]

You have internet access for four plus days and it doesn't sound like your starving to death or dehydrated?
Welcome to your home ? 

[alephi]

Obvious scam?

I offer multiple credible UK references, UK bank details, UK passport details, a verified UK address, my online personal (Facebook) and professional (LinkedIn) profiles and a background which can be checked and verified.  I can also do cam2cam on Skype or YM to further verify my identity and whereabouts and show bank cards, passport etc.

I can also produce copies of my bank statements showing an address and previous income in the UK, evidence of previous employment in the UK, recent offers of employment in the UK and various other details which support what I say.

As I said before, I am staying at a friends house and my money is nearly out. It is not out yet, I have about 200 pesos, or about 5 dollars left. That's food for about 4 more days, a week at most.

I also have limited and very slow internet access which I have to pay for using a pay as you go usb modem. That expires on Monday.

What other information would you like?
