Lmao dude, who'd take a newbie account as collateral ? Cheesy

I wanted to have faith in humanity and 0.008 seemed not so much, and it was a sum I could afford to lose. He also seemed very attached to his account to the point he used social engineering to get it back.
Lesson learned for me, i never accounts as collateral anymore even from high ranking members. You all here seen what happened with Boeleens.
Thanks to all who red tagged him.

Do you still have faith in humanity after this incident lol.

Btw the collaterals usually have the same value and the newbie account you held was no where near it.

There is also another step, where you can take the escrow terms of sending or releasing small amounts at a time then all at once.

To be honest, yes, I still have faith in humanity, scammers should not make us lose our kind hearts, just be more carefull in the future.

Thats a nice thing to say. Anyways mate, i 100% agree with you that you should never accept any bitcointalk account as collateral. Its not worth-it. Take some alt-coin or some other valued collateral instead. All the best mate.
