I agree with shawshankinmate37927 be carefull.

If you want to buy or sell do it in small amounts to avoid being scammed big time.

I'll probably just stick to exchanges. Even with new junk currencies, they seem to be making it onto exchanges within a week or so.

If you need a escrow service, check my signature.

If you need escrow, search the forum for escrow providers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0) who have established a reputation for reliability and trustworthiness.

Here's a good place to start:

Yeah I probably wouldn't buy bitcoins off of forums anyways, unless I built a trust with someone I might buy a small amount sometime.

IF you get scammed by anyone post EVERYTHING about them

name, address, email, names they use etc.

I actually contact the local police in their area and let them know someone is doing fraud on the internet

This actually works, scares the buttcoin out of scammers!

I know the member Koolio has offered escrow service recently. He's a mod on BTC-e, so if you're not sure who to pick and have been over in the trollbox at BTC-e, you have a starting point.
