if you got to know someone real well over the internet

[moshquerade]

and you talked to them on the phone, saw them on their webcam, and conversed with them for a couple of years, but yet didn't meet them... would you loan them a hundred bucks if they asked?

they have said they will pay you back asap, and have a good reason for needing the money.

 

[Kalvin00]

Not if I've never met them face to face..

 

[SchrodingersDog]

yup, and I need some too, really

 

[Zanix]

I like the face to face idea too.

Sure, why not? I suppose the worst that could happen is that they'd end up feeling uncomfortable about the whole thing.

 

[AreaCode707]

Yes. I can think of several people I know online that meet that criteria.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

yeah

 

[jtusa]

Can I borrow $100? I have a webcam.

 

[Schadenfroh]

no

if i knew them face to face i could kick their ass if they did not pay me back.

 

[PHiuR]

depends ... but probably yes. its only a few hundred bucks.

 

[pulse8]

Depends on the types of conversations I've had with them and how easily I could afford to possibly be without $100.

If I am certain that he/she has a good, convincing reason for the money, then I would lend him/her. I will require a written agreement stating date that he/she intends to pay back, though. However, if I have no way of confirming or knowing, then hell no! I mean, you can't even trust people you know in real life borrowing money from you, how much then someone over the internet?

Frankly, if I'm not sure of someone, rather than lend him/her money and expect a repayment, I would give it to him/her without an expectation of repayment--provided the sum is one that I could afford to give out for free.

I wouldnt lend $100 to my own brother, let alone someone I never met. You may as well just say its a gift of $100 and not a loan, cause there is a 99% chance no matter who you lend money to, they never ever pay you back. :|

 

[radioouman]

Did I ask you for $100??? * scratches head *

[Injury]

Define "good reason".

In most cases, it boils down to "no way."

 

[saxophonoia]

probably not

 

[badmouse]

Depends on which part of Nigeria they're from.

 

[tomt4535]

ask for their heatware first, better be safe than sorry

 

[conjur]

Why not just give them a blank check? Hell...give them your credit card.

 

[FoBoT]

never loan money. if you think they need it and you have it to spare, give it to them. if they pay you back, then say 'wow"
