Guys, always remember that arbitrary Ripple IOUs that are not issued in exchange for "the real thing" are completely worthless.
You can use them for fun, but don't expect them to have any real value.
In particular, never trust someone for a "real" currency such as BTC or LTC if they are not actually holding this currency and are willing and able to send it to you when you request a withdraw.
And above all (this applies to almost everything here on this forum): If someone says "trust me" you shouldn't!
Trust me

, I'm an expert on everything Ripple.
