I just started lending and I think I got burned already
So I added iluvbitcoins on skype
the next day after the initial loan he contacted me for another loan of 0.2
BTCat first I was suspicious and of course did not want to loan him, after talking around an hour with him and he showed me a pic of his miners but he needs PSU (I asked him to call me and show them over skype, which he did)
as he said he was in debts and will return the loan by mining the first 11 days for me, I decided to loan him
this is our skype conversation
http://pastebin.com/hqh8cLeq[16:28:30] larra dutta: and i can start mining in 2 hours at ur pool and at ur address
it's 21:59 now
do you think there's a chance he'll pay back?
With my salary I need to work 15 days to earn that amount of money back
As payment he should point miners to your pool.
This way you will get what's yours.
yes, that's what he said
that's why I loaned him
I'm not saying he's a scammer, there's still time
He just didn't answer me, he said he'll start mining in 2 hours and those 2 hours passed 2 hours ago, he didn't come online since the loan
You said taht you will use his account on BTCtalk as collateral. Did he gave you his usenrame and password already?
You changed the pass?
You havent seen him online on skype or BTCtalk?
It is really possible that he scammed you selling his account to you for 0.2 BTC.
If so there is nothing more, but leave this account and may be sell it when price of BTC or BTC accounts goes up.
Sorry if you lose money, but really next time do not trust as much as you do it now.

the account was collateral for the initial 0.03
BTC loan
he later asked me for a new loan of 0.2
BTC with no collateral
but he showed me the miners over skype saying he needs the money to pick up the PSU so he can start mining
I loaned him 0.2
BTCnow he came back online, pointed 1 miner at my pool&account doing around 500 ghs, he said he needs 0.2
BTC more for the second miner
I sent him that too, he said he'll be back online in 20 minutes
again now it's around 4 hours since he said that
the first miner also stopped hashing
this is the skype conversation for the new loan..
http://pastebin.com/KXEhGKtGThe first time he didn't come online because apparently his connection died
I hope that it happened again instead of him scamming me for 0.43
BTCas I said, his member account is worth 0.05
BTCI loaned him 0.03
BTC with the account as collateral
And later on 0.4
BTC (0.2 x 2) for the PSU
If you lend that amount surely i will pay you after 7 days
even me I have x4 sapphire 7970 and i didn't think that it is possible as collateral if i show it over skype lol... but anyways.. i hope you will get your coins back..
