I wholeheartedly agree @simplymike, with @davemccoy’s comment too.
I came across the scam through the Bank of Neoxian’s post. It’s just my opinion, but businesses that lend out money with some interest in return, will have some risk. Even the Bank resulted in a loss and he had the acct’s master key but mediation resulted in him returning the acct back to the scammer/owner. He had collateral but the jury was still not in his favor.
As Dave commented, you can’t even trust some family members. I would always do my due diligence and even still, lend out knowing I may never get it back if the sob story is too much.
‘Real world’ banks ask for ID’s, do background checks and even if you pass all their ‘tests’ they give you a hard time lending money. Still, I don’t want to know how much of that money is never paid back to them.
It’s like you say: if you’re in that business, it’s just part of the game.
I’m still learning myself... the hard way. If everyone I knew very well and trusted (hahaha, ‘trusted’ - so naive of me) would pay me back the money I lent them, I might regain a bit of trust in the world ;0)
I allways say the best way to get rid of a friend is to loan them money. You will never see them again. Lol.
Hahaha, I need to remember that one
