How do you separate users and real friends?
The problem is, there are few who meet the definition of the real friend. Because real friendship falls right up there with a level of love that is as powerful as the bond of a family.
Borrowers
What if your friend is a borrower? Real friends are highly unlikely to approach you for short term loans. Often they're ashamed to admit there is a problem, let alone ask for money willingly.
