Pretty much just don't do it again. (._.)

Linden Lab will not get involved in resident disputes.  Be careful with who you trust online. (._.)

I never ever give people money when they ask to borrow some. I guess it's like in RL.. 9 out of 10 times you either have to pressure them paying you back (and ruin the "friendship" or they don't pay claiming they already did.

[Jacki Silverfall]

Don't loan money unless you can afford to lose it

[gokhanh]

thats not a big amount for me ..but he pissing about me..

we agreed on the land to rent for one moth and i will pay 2000L every week..adn he pay other ..after one week he told he has no money..as a favour i paid my part for one month first in stead of paying every week )

now he tells people that he didint get any money from me i rent the land by myself  and stay there 1 week alone..but i get SS from my payment history..

and he cheats people and cant do anything for it..and he tellin my friends that i m a liar..omg..

You can't protect other people from making the same mistake you did. Let them learn for themselves.

[Melita Magic]

You can tell some friends if you know them well enough that it is worth the bother (i.e. they trust you enough to know you are telling the truth or not) or you can put something in your profile. Linden Lab doesn't get in the middle of disputes like that.

Other than defending yourself in some way, sorry, not much you can do. It's a global platform, so even if laws were not so out of touch with the times, and there were better ways to protect online investments, it would be very hard to go after someone from Second Life.

Consider it a lesson learned, and stick to what you can pay for on  your own unless you really know someone a long time first. And even then it's risky; I've heard of people who are married in real life who did something like this to each other in Second Life.

Yeh in cases like this, there's not much you can really do.. Except finding some relief in the fact that most of us have done similar stupid mistakes  

My general advice is that when dealing with purchases/transactions of smaller amounts like 100L$ or so you can afford to take a chance if it looks like it's something good, but in the credit amounts you've been working with, I'd personally want to check if it's an established "company" or trusted person.. whatever, just try to make sure you aren't the only customer they've dealt with, and don't be afraid to bail out if things seem weird, you can always block the person and leave if you don't want to hear them whine.. and there's probably a lot of other places where you can get similar products.

It's sad that this happened to you, but move on fast, find nicer people for friends, and consider it a cheap learning experience. You are obviously meant to be elsewhere, with others, doing something better.
