Title: yet another newbie!
Post by: Freyja on January 09, 2014, 05:36:30 PM
hey all,

been reading the forums for a while now and decided I wanted to start post here now as well!

Been mining, I'm new to this as well, and just wondering if there's a lot of scammers here or is it relative safe?

Got scammed on another site so hoping this will prove better.

Also, if got any recommendations for escrow I would love to hear it. :P

Hi

Newbie here too, welcome and have a nice day.

Scammers are everywhere, there is no safe haven, but there was a thread around here with a few tips on how to prevent being scammed and what to do before trading with someone... can't seem to find it right now, though  :(

Good luck and happy mining.

There are lots of scammers around here. Always use a trusted escrow on deals. A list of them can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0

Thank you for the links. Been reading them and I am surely going to make use of them when trading. Thanks again!
