Attention: This looks like an exit scam
The user Nakamura12 has sent PM to atleast 8 people in this thread. This means that if this thread remains open for the next 24hrs, more people could surface.
He might think it is easier to scam 100 people $10 each than scamming one person $100.
See the list below;

The User nakamura12 sended me a PM and asked about 5$ if i have them spare.

I just realized that I also got a PM from @nakamura12 yesterday. But the amount is different, he sent me a PM regarding $10, not $5.
I'm not sure, but there is a possibility that he has sent a PM to another user. Seeing the small amount requested, he should be able to get a loan from a friend or relative around him. However, I don't understand @nakamura12's current situation. If he is in financial trouble, hopefully, it will be resolved soon.

Thanks for highlight the issue. I have received the same request (twice, even after I confirmed to the users that I am not providing loan).

Also, you have sent a message to me via bitcointalk as well as on telegram. But I think you should not do that. If you need any loan then you must have to post on the thread (my thread) or any other open lending thread or open a new topic on the lending board. Other then this the private message that you send should be considered as unsolicited pm.

looks like he just went on a spam spree asking for a few $, as i also got a message from him in pm and telegram asking for to borrow $10.

I received the same begging message from him and I decided to ignore it, but I was very close to report it to moderators.
He probably mass sent the same message to many members and this is considered as spam, but than he sent me second message with text CANCEL  Roll Eyes
I don't know if account changed owner or maybe it was hacked, but he is now added to my ignore list.


Can any of you count how many messages these are?  Grin I think I'm the person who has received the most messages from this member asking for a loan.  Cheesy

He isn't my friend or client. He didn't contact me before so I don't know nakamura12. Yesterday he's sent messages asking for $15 loan. He's sent btc eth & trc-20 addresses to receive. I said I wouldn't. He tried to convince me but I didn't agree. It's suspicious so I asked him to make a loan topic it's how shasan gave the loan. How many ppl did he ask ?

Also, Nakamura12 lied that he doesn't use telegram, while more than 2 people have confirmed that he also contacted them via telegram.

Nope!  If the first message I get regarding something like this is through Telegram, I automatically think it's a scam.  I would much rather get a PM here on the forum to initiate a deal.  If further communication is needed, then we can move to a more convenient method.  Finalizing deals should also be done exclusively via PM.
This is the reason why I don't use telegram or discord for because people will think that I am going to scam them when it's not what I want to do. Thanks a lot DireWolfM14 for providing this information. I learned my share of lesson to be honest and I am glad that OP did open this thread. As you have said, I am not sending PMs for a handout but to borrow and pay once I have money to pay back.

I think it is time to investigate if the account changed hands, because this is an obvious exit scam attempt.
