Yes, I can confirm that the loan is still active and I have had communication with cabalism13 prior about an extension. Hopefully I end up getting full repayments from cabalism13 and crwth.
Shit!
I feel you bud. In my lending business I lost more money then profited and eventually I decided to stop the service.
I am not being judgemental for a nation or a race but unfortunately Filipino community is losing their credibility in fact lost all credibility. Remember those guys TYM, asu? If I am not wrong then many more scammers were in fact from Philippine. The numbers are high if we compare with other community.
There is a pattern for them. They join and build up a solid reputation.
They do it very fast. TYM, asu, cabalism13, crwth and many more, bL4nkcode is a bit different I guess (Took long time to pull the scam for him).
I think from now on we should not trust guys who are
very focused on building up good reputation that they are getting it
too fast. They are fine as long as they are not asking for money or involving them in a trade. We should not also leave them positive tags or in the DT system very quick just because they are contributing in the community. Let them have over x years of legibility, maybe 5 years (?) before giving them a positive feedback or adding them into the DT network.
There are many users who I have seen built up their reputation very quick, in fact the number of merits they earn is a short span seems unbelievable. But consider them with a regular forum user, they should not have even one 10th of the merit they earned or appreciated by the old times. Who knows these guys might have very similar plan? Some day they will pull a successful scam and they are preparing for it?
PS: My own observation by the way. These incidents should give us some lessons.
