Question?? Why Do Posters Loan Money To Other Posters??

jjgold · Aug 6, 2003

Boys first off I want NO ONE to lose a dime anywhere and especially too other posters. Why would you give money to a stranger on these boards????? I cannot comprehend this. Most of us are gamblers and you nevr loan money to one.

Hey sure maybe a couple of hundred to try and help someone out but that is it. You have to be out of your mind giving someone big money here, you know your going to get stiffed.

Be careful

very good point JJ. It is very silly when you think of it..We don't even know these people. I've had a lot of people email me and ask me for loans, and I would just laugh my ass off. They would say, I swear i will pay you back every cent sick.. lol...

But i did something even more foolish, I gave a certain woman poster all my acct numbers and pw's like a fool, so she can bet into my acct, and gave her access to see how much i had in each one. Thinking i could trust this woman, she ended up trying to screw me at the end. This woman even took advantage of going into my acct and betting a game without my consent. So I deserved it for being a fool. You can say that what I did was worse than lending a poster money..This woman tried to take me down and steal all my money bec she was upset with me..

Don't trust anyone.. is the only advice I can give everyone here..Even if you think you can trust them.

Don't ever involve money with a stranger boys..

Same reason people sent money to Mark Del. People thought Mark Del was their friend because he came across great on-line.

Mark did a great scam just like a few posters do. There are always people that want other to like them. Posters looking to scam prey on the weak. It is just natural.

Loaning money to good friends usually will hurt you, let alone internet friends.

TTinCO · Aug 6, 2003

General....you forgot "let alone gamblers".

Gamblers borrowing money PERIOD is a bad, bad sign.

I have to go sit down for a while....my head is still spinning from a JJ post that made sense.

Actually, my buddy owes me $600 right now he lost about a week ago using one of my accounts, but I'm not "sweating" it, I know he's good for it. Pride is everything with some people and friends, you just have to know and understand if that particular person has the same morals as yourself.

TheGeneral+ · Aug 6, 2003

Cant argue that TTinCO.

Solid point.

I am stuck 20+ dimes because I trusted posters on forums around the net....

I have never revealed this to anyone here but it's true.

gamblers on average...are one of the least trusted groups of people with money.

Gamblers are gamblers because they want to take short cuts to making money..hardly anyone gambles for the thrill of it unless you already make millions doing something else.

I've lost 26 friends in my life on acct of money. And these 26 friends were close friends too. I've had pals tell me to pls pls lend them 500 and they swear they will pay me back by the weekend in full. And weekend would arrive and I can't find them. I have a friend who owes me 80 small dollars only and 3 months ago, I saw him in the mall, and he saw me from afar, made a full 360 and walked fast the other way out the exit. And all this for 80 beans.. Show's you how money and friends do NOT mix. Imagine, a kid I grew up with avoids me now for 80 bucks and no longer associates with me for 80 smacks.

I've always told everyone i know.. If you want to lose a friend fast, Just lend him money, it's that simple.. You'll DEFINITELY lose him in a hurry. You just can't combine money and friends, it just doesn't work. It causes too much tension..

I have loaned money many times. Not because i was 100% sure i would get paid back, but because that person really needed it at that time and timing is everything, they may not need it a week or two later. I loaned it also because i have been in that position before and i have been fortunate enough to have someone there to loan me funds when i really needed it, like last year to pay for my mothers funeral arrangements.

They wanted cash and with no brothers and sisters to help you out it was tough.

I've never loaned more than i could afford to loan and the few that have not paid me back God Bless them, they probably needed it more than i did. Karma, it always comes back to you. You reap what you sew.
