I started lending service few days ago
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1352856.0

Yesterday I got PM from a user named WhitePhantom that he need loan for 3 days using his account for collateral.I asked him to sign message from bitcoin address posted by him in 2013, he said its old wallet and he lost it but he can sign message from bitcoin address staked last month.After some discussion I agreed to give him 0.05btc loan and he signed message from bitcoin address staked on 20 January.

BUT after few minutes of processing loan a someone created a new account WhitePhantom1980 and claimed that it was his account that got hacked and asked me not to send any money but the loan was already processed.I asked him for signed message but he said he can't sign message.

Now the problem is I am confused if someone is trying to trick me to get the account for 0.05 or account was really hacked.

3 things to notice

1) If account was hacked then why hacker doesn't changed the email and password of the account?
2) How hacker managed to stake bitcoin address in January.
3) How it is possible within few minutes of sending loan someone said it was his account and someone else was using this but why the real owner wasn't aware when potential hacker used the account and staked bitcoin address in January.

I am confused what is going there

The new user isn't able to sign message from any bitcoin address but borrower signed message.
It is possible the old owner sold the account and now trying to get it back.

if the account really got hacked,just say to the real owner you have nothing to do with it and what you need is get back your btc, why did you want to get involved lol, just simple like that, you're doing right by lending btc to him but his problem or whatever is not your problem
looks selfish indeed but this way will make you not get involved to a problem

Account password not changed, he signed message from staked address in january.
How it is possible within few minutes of sending loan someone said it was his account and someone else was using this but why the real owner wasn't aware when potential hacker used the account and staked bitcoin address in January.

I already offered whitephantom19080 if he can sign message I can give him account back after repay the loan amount, But I can't give account to a random person who can't sign message.

But if without signed message I given him account then we may see many request in lending board people claiming for high ranked collateral account in exchange of paying the loan amount.
