Title: Newbie Guide to Avoid Getting Scammed
Post by: tokeweed on June 04, 2013, 11:07:25 AM
Hi guys, just a tip to avoid getting scammed.

Before making a trade, go here:  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

That's the scamming accusation board of bitcoin talk.  

Just type the screen name at the search feature at the top right and read every thread.

I was scammed on here before. You should take steps to avoid it.

Bitcoin is getting bigger and bigger. And wherever there's money, there will be scammers.

Usually if someone is wanting to give you a good deal or wants you to buy something 'right away' it is probably a bad idea...
