This is where I stopped reading or feeling sorry for you.

If you hand someone money on the street and they walk away.. were you scammed or just foolish?

Oh it is... You can trust me for sure. Try handing me 2k of resources to test it.
Ah sry... Just kidding.


But anyway... Far the majority of people in EU are very trustworthy. The problem is that it's impossible to know who those last few % are.

The thing is.. you can trust PLENTY of people. I lend out my RockJacker and Angel armor regularly. I've been lent items ranging from an adjv1 to a mod merc (and returned them all).

You just can't trust someone with (bascally) money after knowing them for only 2 days.. This should be obvious.

I guess when someone wants to lend 1400 PED after just 2 days you know him is a good sign that you cannot trust the person .

i read it the way, the guy didn't ask for it, but was offered a trading-job (do the time-consuming job of trading and get a little fee or % for it.)

i got such jobs myself when i was a noob, i was trusted with amounts up to 5k ped by our soc-founder. but he built up slow, my first jobs was to sell stuff worth 50 ped and increased gradually. trust has to build up by time. that's the way to go.

I remember somewhere on the EU website is sentence like: " Do not lend items or peds to ppl you don't know IRL". Which is good advice. Usually if I lend something, I always take collateral. Not always from socmates though, especially those who I know for few years. There are ppl ingame who can be trusted, but still, Immortal gave good reasons why to take collateral anyway. You never know. Someone might be locked, someone's account may be hacked, someone may have accident IRL... Better be safe than sorry.
I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm affraid you asked for it...
