actually, i know several ppl who fell for that because they thought they could trust the person they lent items to
so, it isnt necessarily a newbie, and with the amount of time those ppl have spend together, trust was built, so no collateral asked
(one i loaned cash, and this time that person asked for collateral, although we new eachother for kinda long
the item was far more worth than the cash loaned though)
and i was asked at the newbie arrival zone in PA if i could loan the guy my sword (kat honor), which i refused
suddenly he became a major mindforce specialist (in underwear and broke how the chat was like) who was able to make my kat honor indistructible
so its tried
and just the fact that its tried, shows that there must be more success than you may think
as to newbies
how should they know that there is no way back if you loaned something?
but generally, it was more a headsup to not fall for this kinda of scam
i know several who did
