In my experience, money is loaned out in the gambling community often. However in every case I was involved in you knew the individual personally and have met them in person, along with knowing personal information about them. And in most cases you consider them “friends” or acquaintances, at least until an issues comes up with getting the money back.

In this case the person asking reached out to random people they have never met and know nothing about. Totally different situation in my mind. No different than someone walking randomly up to you in a casino.

Your thoughts on that difference?
I actually think she's good for it.
Reading posts on PFA, it seems she was promising to return DOUBLE the loan within the week, by gift card codes. That is an insanely desperate offer.
Well that's bullshit, I never got offered any double.
To be honest, had I been inclined to loan I would have turned down the double, for the most part, I just want to be paid back when a person says they will pay me back. I have taken points on money loans but oftentimes it's only because I'm hoping that person will realize they should stop borrowing money since it's going to cost them so much each time.

I also don't want to jump to a bunch of Hoops to send or receive. As soon as I hear anything about gift card codes, I'm out. Fairly certain I have Tiffany gift cards that are years old now along with other various gift cards sitting in a drawer somewhere. Have a significant amount of Best Buy cards, I'm fairly certain I'll use that on the Galaxy Note fold z when the price drops. Ask me in a year if I actually use them or not.
