Definitely agree. It's been called the second oldest profession. Should you or someone you know be in such destitute circumstances as to need such a service you will probably find most are pretty cold. I'd like to think I still have some heart, still make some 'charity' loans, but you really need to ask my 'people' what kind of guy I am.
To get on Joe's track, my only advertising is the smallest Yellow Page ad I could get (and the sign out front). The transaction is between consenting adults, where else can you go to borrow $100 (or $20)? I'm sure the members of this board can't imagine being in such a position but there's a steady stream of people in my door who are.
