Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

Ok I am little bit naive when it comes to bitcoins. I tried to look for reliable places that sells bit coin and either they ask me for ridicules steps for verifications, I don't live in the US, or services asking for large fees while restricting the spending amounts.

My question is this, if I were to buy bitcoins from someone directly how can I avoid scams?

Thanks.

Did you try sites like Circle.com or Localbitcoin? They offer safe trade.

Use localbitcoin.com it's safe and fast. You can also do cash deals in person just check it out you will get it.

Find someone and sit down together preferably in somewhere secure like a bank/Starbucks etc, and do a cash transaction. As KIRAZ said above, localbitcoin,com is great.

Beware of buying bitcoins from people who contact you witouth any kind of reputation, there's a link * trust * , were you can see the correct reputation of the user, also the forum offers escrow services reputables, John K is one on the list i guess.

You can try our service www.247exchange.com/buy (http://www.247exchange.com/buy)
We're fixed-rate and easy-to-use international exchanger with financial license. We offer different payment methods and now we're also adding support of credit and debit cards - this option will be available later this week.

Do you have a UK bank account? If so, you can use our site and have BTC in about 10 minutes from initiating a bank transfer. No ridiculous steps for verification - we just need your email address. Can't get much easier than that  :)

Why wouldnt you get verification for a bank transfer? You will regret it when people start sending with stolen bank info.

Verification is not required if within current limits (£100 max). If we decide to increase the limits then we will of course introduce verification for larger orders.
