    I've done it twice, got my money back both times, even though one guy got banned at DP, he still emailed me and sent the repayment...

    Indeed, lol.
    You can never really trust anyone in the internet. Since you can't really see them in person, they might feel safe because they know you can't do anything physical, such as kicking their a**.

    I don't trust most people on the internet.

    That really stinks for you though.

    The two users were looping itrader on threads they weren't involved in so...

    I hope you don't get biased.

    Sorry you got taken advantage of. I would think that since lending money to friends I know personally is already something to keep an eye on being repaid for - those you meet online would be even that much more difficult to do. Might want o steer away from doing this again unless you find a more secure way to engage in this stuff.

    I lent a member some money many months ago and still he promises tp pay it back. Well, he conducts business here in the Link Sales threads and makes money. I can't see how I will ever get it back. One thing for sure. I will NEVER do anything for him again.

    Great people have trouble paying back money.

    Think about why they needed the money in the first place. Why couldn't they be back in the same position?

    There is a reason banks make sure people have collateral even from the best civilians with the greatest credit.

    I think?

    Sorry for your situation though.

    We have completed our investigation of this case. We attempted to process a refund from the seller's account to your account. Unfortunately, the seller's account does not contain the funds necessary to cover this refund. We were able to recover $0.00 USD. We have taken action against the seller and are working to recover the remainder of your refund. We will contact you when we have more information. No further action is required of you at this time.

    OMG *dead*

    Cheat me once, shame on you. Cheat me twice, shame on me.

    Or something like that. You're fault for getting scammed the third time; don't lend to people with less than 40 iTrader and you'll be alright :)
