The best advise I've learned is not to...
A so-called friend asked me for money and I loan it to her, she said she will pay me back ...later she asked me for another loan and I kept on givin' her more money, she said she'll pay me back, it kept on going and I was like 
am I doing something wrong.
This happen in my hometown, not from the internet
And Yes I was doing something wrong and make a terrible mistake for loaning to that person over and over without getting pay back first before the second time, next and next.
Until then I was told when you loan money to someone, you wait until the person pays you back, then you loan it again, but if they don't pay you the first time and you loan it to them again again, you'll never see that money again...
I learned the hard lesson not to loan a person the money the second time unless he or she pays me back first before loaning it again.
My man lost his money from this guy on the internet before we was ex-roommate with that guy in the past, he kept loaning this guy some money several times and the guy lied to my man he'll pay him back, it never happen.
I told my man when you loan him money the first time, you wait until he pays you back first then loan it again to that guy, but if that guy keeps asking you for more money, but haven't pay you back, don't loan it to him again until he pay you back first before loaning it again.
Well my man lost his money to that guy, he was pretty disappointed, I know this guy, I will tell you what he does, he goes in the deafchat room, he looks for weaker people to loans him some money, he's very good at fooling alots of deaf people to steals their money, he's very good at scamming people, we found out about him.
So be careful, don't loan your money to stranger on the Internet you do not know, especially deafchat or any deafchat room.
Yes we have learned the Hardest Lesson!
