  Its goona be hard for you to try to borrow $ from strangers,
  
  1) u might be better off trying to pawn something off,
  2) or sell something you have to raise the $
  3) borrow from family
  4) borrow from friends.

  like i mentioned in your previous thread, it is highly unlikely that anybody here would lend money to a stranger.
  
  And on the other hand, don't you think it is not wise to get money from a stranger. I'm not saying that the people here are dubious but then again, you won't know for sure if such a character do lurk around here.
  
  Try your frens or relatives or anybody else that you know. And God bless.

  IC means nothing and can't be used as collateral
  
  Remember that a few years ago, there are newspaper reports of such scams going around.
  
  The person request to borrow money and handover their IC to the other person.What happen? This lender stupidly think that it is safe. In the end he was not able to get any money back and he has to volunteerly hand over back the IC to the borrower cos the borrower reported it to the police and act up a story that this lender is retaining his IC. Only then that the lender find out that it is ILLEGAL to retain another person's IC for whatever reason. Police came and he lan lan has to hand it back over.
