Why are they doing this?

Formatted Soul
By Formatted Soul

Why do some people borrow money from friends/acquaintance and never think of returning it?

We help people in times of their emergency; professional cheaters must be thinking we are stupid to do so. Its not because we are stupid, we are helping them out of sympathy. They say stories of illness, debt, losing job, going to jail etc. We just empathies with them, they will say that they will return it in two weeks, we wont ask for one month. When we ask after couple of months they will say they will return it tomorrow, then they start ignoring our calls, when we send text messages they start threatening us knowing fully well that there is no proof of such a transaction.

They don’t bother to say sorry or that they don't have any plans to return the money. And they are active on social networking sites looking for new victims.. we can find them every where, even on QL! The funny thing is that they act like saints and such nice people in here.

why are they doing this? Are they mentally unstable? Or are they professional cheaters? Or do they enjoy living in others hard earned money. If they deserve charity most of us will be willing to give, but if they try to cheat what should we do?

Money removes camouflage many a times and show the true color/face of a person.

It also helps to check an individual's integrity, loyalty and honesty.

By the_prince• 3 Oct 2010 10:57

It is NOT easy, I agree. But then, it's easier than refusing or losing your money

IMHO

By Victory_278692• 28 Sep 2010 14:17

Lent to a friend or a relative;

It is NOT easy to ask for a cheque or a promissory note; to embrass the borrower; who is actually describing to pay for Rent, medical bills or lost huge amount in Share market and will return in couple of days.

To people who think generous means wrong:

1- Generous does not mean incautious !

2- Why don't you simply ask for a guarantee such as a personal check?

Victims: Consult a lawyer, may be u can get your money back through court (specially big amounts)

well, Its happening everywhere around the world ppl take money from their friends-family and never return it back after reading all the comments..

My ADVICE to all- If u really want to help someone in need just help the person with amout u can give and forget about it for example if personal is asking u for 3000 give him/ her 1500 or 1000 and deep inside just think its gone for good... if it suppose to come back then he is true friend, if person doesn't return u the favour then its better not to trust the person ever again,try not to get hurt by your mistakes, trusting some1 and the person lieing to you hurts alot...

Just because one guy didn't return it, it doesn't mean I am gonna stop helping my friends if I can.. We loan out money to friends all the times back home and everytime it is returned.. I myself borrowed heavily during some tough times a few years back and cleared it as soon as I could.. Maybe people are more honest back home.

You will meet alot of people who took advantage of your friendship. One friend advised me "never involve money in a friendship" And I must agree w/ her...sometimes lending money to a friend w/ your intentions to help can be the cause of your misunderstanding when the other party(borrower) got sick of "amnesia" :D

Hi Nomerci, am good sweety and wishes to be at least half pretty as you ;)

By anonymous• 9 Sep 2010 21:58

well, not only friends/acquiantance but also relatives.

i lend money to my uncle one time. he cannot pay so i just gave it and didnt ask to return back.

For the second time,he wants to borrow money again, with amount higher than the previous one.

i asked him when you will be able to pay/return it back.

guess what... he said i dont know when i can pay you back... coz he said he's struggling financially (hes working in saudi)

what the fake...

i stopped answering his phone calls (which he does only when he needs something like this), in short i ignore... coz its better to be blank/silent than to have a fight again about money that will surely ruin our relationship.

money lend is money lend, money given is money given.

not the other way around.

As I said before, I am not here to name and shame anyone...I am only concerned about my money!!

If the person politely told me that he don’t have money now and he will return it as soon as possible I would have not posted this... but acting as if he never owe me anything really made me upset!! asking me to do whatever I want is not the way to reply!! and threatening to file complaint for asking my money is ridiculous!!

Lesson learnt hard ways.

Whenever somebody who ask for money and in crisis; the chances of getting money back are least.

I generally check where I stand at that point of time; whether I could assist.

Unfortunately, I lent money to my two friends and they both are just giving me future promises and now I am in a situation that I could not help anybody :(

Money lenders send Eunuchs at the place of the debtor, so that they can claim the money... even Banks (thru collection agencies i.e.)

FS sweetheart...some people are happy to take advantage of kind hearted people like you. I don't know how to handle this, but if you find a way, let me know please, I could buy a house for the money I'm owed.

Sorry to hear that it has happened to such a nice person like you FS. I hope you get your money back soon and hope will think twice now before lending it again!

Do you want me to have a word with him/her?

By FlyingAce• 8 Sep 2010 11:35
FlyingAce

ice: is it the same person who took money from fs...

By drmana• 8 Sep 2010 11:34
drmana

Rebel, its not curiosity but wanting to be safe from same situation. Whoever it is, we have got the message. Never lend money to anyone.

By Ice Maiden• 8 Sep 2010 11:34
Ice Maiden

Yep, I get the same....next week, next week, now it's been 6 months. There's always an excuse...a cheque the bank wil approve, or some medical emergency.

We help them not because we have too much money to throw around, but out of sympathy, humanity, because we think what if we were in that same difficult situation. Hope they understand's that when he takes someone's hard earned money, it's become his responsibilty to return it....

By hhrods• 8 Sep 2010 11:33
hhrods

as you said we give money out of sympathy.... trying to help this person....

but the reality is that they are making a fool of us....

and then comes a time when a real sincere friend comes asking for help and due to previous experiences we deny his or her request....

God forgive us...

As they say, when we lend money to friends we end up either losing that money or that friendship.

Who is it FS? May be you can warn others not to fall in the same trap.
