This is not the first PM I've received regarding gurg2.0 so I'm going to respond publicly since I'm listed in his signature as a reference. He bought Magic: The Gathering cards from me, and paid up front. The problem is that this was a 0.15 BTC transaction, as I told the previous people who PM'd me about gurg2.0. Can a 0.15 BTC transaction really warrant a a reference?
I do have his address (assuming the address he gave me was correct, he never confirmed that he received the cards) but I don't plan on giving it out publicly. If the people who have been stiffed want to PM me, I'd be happy to give the information he gave me.
In my opinion, it's very possible he accrued a handful of tiny transactions in order to get just enough trust required to get your BTC and run.
Please do not post his address. We as a community must stand together and enable these people to keep running their scams over and over with absolutely zero threat of repercussion. |

New criteria for getting a loan:
must be Hero member with 2000+ posts
time between 1st and last message at least 6 months
must send copies of 3 id's with picture of self with newspaper of the day
in some cases must send as collateral 1 family member ( mother/wife/child etc...)
I reserve the right to not send the loan and keep the family member anyway.

hahaha, my gut tells me you might get stuck with a house full of wives and defaulted loans.  |
If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

Im new to the lending forum and since i am currently considering loans i just thought i would add something to this post. Dont loan to people with no rep. If you have doubts about the borrower or the loan is for a large amount ask for his full name, phone number, address, or pic of his drivers license. Call him before you send the money. Most scammers will not want to speak with you. Run all the information he gives you. If you cant find any public records with the information provided dont grant the loan. If he doesnt want to give you any information about himself do not grant the loan. These people are coming to you asking for your help. The person with the money is the one who is in control of the situation. Also, if you make loans for 20 coins with a 1 coin return or 100 coins with a 5 coin return the risk is not worth the reward. Walk away.
Just my opinion.

I think the point was that what you said was obvious to most lenders around here, and it's condescending to the people who have lost money to assume they didn't know the most basic guidelines for lending. It's very easy to say in retrospect that you knew it all along (or would have known, had you seen it) but there were other factors at play, and hindsight is always 20/20. |

My comments were not directed at those who were burned. It was a public comment made for everybody. If you or anybody else took me the wrong way please accept my most sincere apology. I am new here and im not tying to rub people the wrong way. I am just participating and contributing like everybody else. I dont want to see more threads like this where people get burned. Thats the only reason i posted.
