Hi,
One who is approached for a loan, and who knows that the borrower is likely to squander the money and default, should either not lend, or lend money with a collateral. However, one may lend money to a pauper with intent to forgive the loan and let it be tzedakah.
One may not lie and say that he has no funds to lend.
(Sefer Chasidim 426; Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat 97:4; Pitchei Choshen Halvaah 1:5 and footnotes 13-14)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
