Bitcointalk.org had a scam where somebody was logging into high post, old abandoned accounts and was using them to secure loans. Maybe start #bitcoin-otc trust ratings system, ensure you are talking to the right person with GPG signatures....??

Great Idea! I will do this for big loans. Thanks partner for the advice (:

I find that generally the more illiterate the person, the more untrustworthy they are. So you can add being careless in their grammar / spelling to the list.
I don't mean not understanding verb tenses - I mean using words like "ur" and "i". Slang in general...

Excellent I agree

I would think some sort of overall "Credit rating" system needs to be established with a whole bunch of criteria. If you are in this for the big leagues you could float one-off buy opportunities for vendors as a silent partner. But it's a risky, risky biz, cash lending. Especially when the debtor is a name on a screen.

What about when poor junkie buyers hold your ratings and rep hostage? How do you deal with that? Im just going to pay this scumbag...He wants 5 coins and now we are negotiating at 2 to delete my bad review all because I didnt accept him in my loan program. Its impossible to start a name here.
-
Honestly dont do it for anyone who isnt a reputable member. I just loaned 4 coins out yesterday. 1 of those will get paid back I believe, but the other guy already deleted his account.

[*] Low post count + less than 1 month old account = low attachment to account = low incentive to pay back a BTC.
[*] High post count + less than 2 weeks old account = someone on a mission = Likely to rob you.
By saying this I don't necessarily think there is any sure fire way to know. IRL don't loansharks require some collateral, and have means to break bones etc?
If you could find a way to take collateral from potential clients then you might have yourself a business.
