You're going to take 11.5 months to pay back?

[Electricbees]

Sending 800 BTCs nao.

[godchronic]

July*, my bad

[Sherkel]

I'll send the 4.5 BTC. Address?
References would be nice too, but are not necessary.

Doubt the guy is willing to scam for 4.5 BTC ...

Don't do that, seriously. I'd suggest you to take a look around this subforum before starting any actual lending. Unless he's a sockie of you, then carry on.

To build up false rep that could be used in future 'loans'. It's an old tactic over here.

I'm surprised he needed to ask... It's obvious

"look at me, I'm so trustworthy! I even paid a previous loan!"  lol

I knew about this technique but was unsure if this is the same like the "confidence" loan trick.

Also, is there a thread that shows people with big balances ( like me ) looking to loan to others how to stay safe and what ID to ask for so as to not get scammed etc. ?

[Sherkel]

Thanks for the heads up, guys. I admit that was very rash.

[Tomatocage]

Thanks for the heads up, guys. I admit that was very rash.

^^ I think this guy is a sockpuppet.  Keep an eye out for a forthcoming loan request.

So...I took back the offer why, then?

[PatrickHarnett]

Watching with interest because I pm'd an offer and have not heard back.

[BurtW]

Patrick, you are one fast moving starfish.

[PatrickHarnett]

Can't be a very urgent loan - two days since pm sent offering to fund.  I assume it is not required.

scammers usually abandon the account once is been identified

[godchronic]

Sent adress and references to tombstoner. Thanks pat I will let you know if tombstoner pulls through

[Sherkel]

Given that you gave a street address and that you merely gave usernames instead of links to their posts, I'm going to have to pull back this one. Sorry.

[godchronic]

First time getting a loan on here and a bit hesitant on all the info thats being handed out to someone with no better rep than me. Patrick if you still have any interest let me know and I can send all info and even talk to you on the phone

[PatrickHarnett]

Fundud - will either be "fun" or "dud" (or a mix of the two).

[smracer]

wave bye-bye to those coins.

[PsychoticBoy]

I bet 1 BTC that he will pay it back 

[smracer]

I bet 1 BTC that he will pay it back 

I will take that bet.

[Raoul Duke]

I bet 1 BTC that he will pay it back 

I will take that bet.

It's geting every day more usual, to bet on the chances of repayment.
I'm already seeing the Lending section being merged with Gambling lol

[PsychoticBoy]

I bet 1 BTC that he will pay it back  

I will take that bet.

It`s set then.
1 BTC from you for me if he repays, otherwise I pay you 1 BTC  

[TehZomB]

Don't you feel like these bets are a little degrading to those who have the potential to be good borrowers? It seems a little rude.

[Raoul Duke]

Exactly. Better do it on PM.

[PatrickHarnett]

Obviously you can blame me - I'm feeding the trolls.

New users come along, find out what's what and work out how it works. 
They then run the gauntlet of trolls asking for a minor loan in public, or approach a lender via pm.
I'm prepared to risk a few coins to find out is someone is genuine or not, but that doesn't mean I am going to lend them hundreds.

[Scott J]

What I found really disrespectful was when nckrazze insisted a lender did the shoe on head thing to get a loan.

If he thought he was a scammer I could understand it, but he filled the loan then posted the photo

He didn't lended the 5 BTC, he bought a pic of the guy with the shoe on it's head and paid 5 BTC for it

I'm not sure that everyone here understands that a putting shoes/feet on things disrespect the thing in many cultures. Instead, it was just a stupid way to confirm that the person in the picture *might* be who you are dealing with.

And in other news, I was asked for a group photo with the respected bitcoiners of this community to prove I wasn't a fake PatrickHarnett.  I don't mind being a false PatrickHarnett, but I have no idea what the rest of you look like, haven't met you, and might do so in a couple of years.  Photos don't necessarily prove anything.

(as far as I know, I'm not a fake, but I provided some other credentials to someone I've never met, spoken with or seen - I hope they weren't a fake.  And if they recognise this - I hope they get a good laugh out of it too)

[smracer]

Paid back yet?

[Tomatocage]

"?"

[PatrickHarnett]

They have not disappeared completely, and I am chasing it.

It's a shame to do this.

I know bitcoin is succeeding, but these scams I believe is what hurts btc the most.

I see the post that you're following the coins now, hope it leads to a conviction.

Why would anyone scam just $38?  Serious question here. 

[pekv2]

Why would anyone scam period? As always, it rots me.

[jwzguy]

Because you didn't believe he would, it's easier than scamming $138.

[PatrickHarnett]

Why would anyone scam just $38?  Serious question here. 

When I was 13, $38 was a lot - but that was a long time ago.
When I was 21, it would buy a week of groceries, but that was also a while ago.
Now $38 doesn't even buy a decent bottle of whiskey (but decent vodka maybe).  Simply a matter of degrees.

By the above reasoning, for 4.5 BTC I have some entertainment and have identified a 13 year old with a bad credit history.

Just keep giving those coins away.  You should pay me half of what you are going to give away in the future and I will kick you in the nuts.  Then you still will have half of your coins!

But then I wouldn't have any entertainment value.

As someone who was accused of being a scammer on my first loan request, I'd like to defend Patrick's methods.

He may take a hit occasionally, but his loan business is obviously still profitable.

Moreover, I know he has personally helped me get more involved in the Bitcoin world; I'm sure this is the same for other people who might have otherwise been turned down.

+1 to this

[smracer]

Paid back?

[PatrickHarnett]

Nope - did you expect anything else?  Thanks for the bump and reminder.

[smracer]

You are welcome!  See you in the next default thread!

Did bo2573 at least get paid then?

[smracer]

Yes I did.  PsychoticBoy is a man of his word.
