    Ok. Sorry 25 instead of 10. hahahahaahhaha you are right!!!:confused: Like it makes a difference I seem some people here making 50-100 posts a day.

    You can tell a scammer account alot of the time just like you can a spam email. Problem is sometimes they touch a nerve and you lose your edge.

    Dubz, I know the feeling trust me. And I agree they should learn to make the money themselves like the rest of us have. But not everyone is cut out to run their own website or business in any way. It depends if they are a real go getter or not. I am successful largely because I have a relentless attitude toward work. You may knock me off my feet but I get right back up and keep trucking. That quality is hard to find in these younger guys. But then again I am only 18 years old ;) So again depends on the person IMO. I should make a how to blog book for DP members so they can learn how to make money. Would eat into my profits possibly but I can find another way to make money. I might just do that.

    Sorry to hijack this thread, where would be the best place to post a request thread for who would like such a book?

    DP is a society of webmasters and we must always try to keep our place Scam free. Though there are opportunities on single second thread but it doesn’t permit anybody to scam.


    I think if DP Mods create a new sub forum for loans, and only reputed members are allow to post a thread for asking loan, then this will solve whole problem.

    I dont think beggar is a proper word. I dont think its wrong to take or give loan to old and genuine members.

    Prosper.com anyone? lol. I wouldn't come here asking for a loan, I'd post a thread selling something, whoring myself out with webmasterly duties to make a quick buck if I need it (in fact I did it earlier, raised $50 today in about an hour to pay the TV bill :) )

    OK. If every one is saying, giving and taking loan is not harmful then why scamming is taking place? Why people are running of with money? See it is very easy to scam on DP and take advantage of emotional people. I am not against of giving loan to people who you know. Giving and taking loan is not in organized form if we make it in organized form it will helpful to us only.

    but it has always been said to provide loan to people who have good reputation on DP.

    If you provide loan to a newbie then you can except to be scammed.

    if situation arises, do you have a family friends etc in real life to ask for loan. Asking for loan on internet from strangers is no different than beggar on the street.

    Ya.. I am totally agree with you.

    Why they are asking loans on DP only from strangers?

    From last 10-12 days,
    I am seeing an average 4-5 threads are opening where people are asking for loan and I am seeing the day when DP will need to start a special section for Beggars and where scammers from all over the world will try their luck.. lol.. :D

    That’s what I am saying; People are taking emotional decisions and giving money to scammers.

    I totally agree with you. Actually it spoil DP’s atmosphere.

    I am not saying that I am having tons of money in my pocket, but if I need I will search for any job on DP rather than asking loan.

    On serious note,

    I am still totally against on creating a new section for beggar / loan etc. If old / reputed member want to get a loan, just use pm. I'm sure they have few friends in here if there are reputable members.
