Seriously Gweedo?
yea why? I look at it this way, if he runs away with 4btc, it isn't going to kill me and we find another scammer, otherwise I help a new member build some loan credit as well as make a quick and easy bitcoin. I think this dude is good and is going to pay me back so I have faith. Have you stopped to think that maybe you just gave 4 BTC more to a new account of the SAME scammer? Next time you can just throw away the bitcoins to the address in my signature. I will at least say "Thank you". And then people ask how come there's so many scamers on this forum... I wonder why.... This guy actually has a good chance of being legit, based on my own personal risk analysis. I think Gweedo did the right thing here (although he might not realize how). Yes, I also looked at his post history. If he's legit, he'll pay. That's all I can say. I'll refrain from saying more. Don't want people accusing me of being the reason for someone not paying their debt.

Here's the formula he used: 1. Look up reputable users on http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratings.php2. Cross-check to see if the username is already taken on Bitcointalk 3. No? Good! Make a new username for reputable member from bitcoin-otc. 4. Make a few posts to get out of Newbie status 5. Make a beeline to Lending So fucking obvious, I'm just sorry you didn't notice the red flags.

Very helpful.

PSY: I take that back. I guess the point I was trying to make it that you are Hammering people for even considering some of the trades/loans where as Tomatocage give an explanation (unfortunately after the fact).
And gweedo if it really was a scam I'm going to send you 1 BTC for being a nice guy and contributing to our education.
Now we've all learned.

You're a good man, gweedo. At least it was only ~$20 worth of BTC. As a general rule of thumb for the future, anybody with an account less than 4-6 weeks old asking for handouts is 99% chance a scammer.

This, especially the bolded parts. I'm too bored to call out scams this couple of days, and here they come again. (probably the same guy anyway)
