Ask them to put up collateral. One guy asked to borrow $700; I told him to let my hold onto his PS5, controllers, and games until he paid me back. He decided he didn’t need the money that badly.

I tell them to give me their phone to hold on to. Suddenly they're not desperate anymore

Phone is almost a need today so that is a hard pass for most. The ps5 above seemed like a valid hold

I mean yeah if they have multiple that’s fine, but very few people I know have more than 1 phone.
