First post in a very long time ... can you explain ? +1 This is the third loan request in as many days from accounts that have not been used for a long time. Looks a little odd.

On the other hand maybe we are just seeing a resurgence in the usage of interest in bitcoin after a break due to the price drop. I returned to the community only recently after a long break. Peter,

Yes, that's entirely possible too. People drift way from projects and come back to them. I'm just using some skeptical eyes.

I really don't understand how you can just walk up to a complete stranger and offer them money without even asking them questions first ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I thought I was risk-tolerant but compared to you (and others who seem to do this a lot) I guess I'm a trembling coward ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I just don't think 2 bitcoins in a week justifies the risk.

How do you know he didn't talk to him over PM ? Sure, it's definitely possible. I'm just wary of a three-day-old account popping up out of nowhere and offering to fund scary loans with no questions asked. Shills are scary ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm not saying shady business is going on here. But it's worth being aware of the risks.

I can't tell if this is a joke, I am going to assume you are mocking me. I will do this loan, send 18 BTC to 1Jmyyhyuc2CqDM6RE1tBjuNYs3aPFpnFNG in one week

Well it probably doesn't, and I am inexperienced. I just hope I am not getting screwed.

hmm
You make an excellent point, and I agree with you, but I don't think you should be so black-and-white in your assessment of the situation. There are many other possible interpretations, and we should keep an open mind, even if we both know what you said is true.

hmm
I totally agree. Unless I already know someone I always look up the posts of a person I am going to lend money to in order to "get to know them" before I do it. In this case the money had already been lent before I was able to look them up but here is what I see: Aug 29, 2011 - probable valid post from this user Jan 14, 2012 - their Mt. Gox account was hit by a phishing scam - they probably used the same password here Jan 25, 2012 - the "new owner" of the account asks for and gets a loan here Nothing since. I expect the new owner has changed the password, email, etc. and the previous owner may not even know what is going on.

Was just informed of this thread. Your assessment was correct BurtWagner, my forum account was compromised. Need to get used to operating securely in the wild west that is Bitcoin. -_-
