Okay, I'll cut right into it; I am completely new to Bitcoin. Like "never-held-girl's-hand-before/hymen-still-intact" virgin levels of noob. (I'm not a virgin, but in the Internet, who cares) Anyways, as you can see, I just made this account. I stumbled upon these forums, mainly this section because of the topic at hand, and figured I'd ask dumb very nooby questions to try and wrap my head around this whole Bitcoin thing. After a quick glance at my wallet and other's wallets, I realize I have no f'n idea how to read any Bitcoin-related thing and the language or vocabulary used while discussing Bitcoin just sounds complicated and confusing.
Well, why am I dealing with Bitcoin then? Well, I'm paying for a... 'special service' from a user. I contacted this user to provide me with this service and has given me a seemingly fair deal. Of course we want to keep our transaction off the radar, so he said we can do so by either WesterUnion or Bitcoin. He gave me some of his personal info to enable me to be able to pay him via WesternUnion, and he also gave me his Bitcoin wallet address- to which upon looking up, I cannot even read or understand it for the life of me, I can't tell whether the account is trustworthy or sketchy. I can do either one, I'm sure. He even gave me his phone number so that we can text in real time.
He does communicate comprehensibly, and he does answer questions as if he knows about his particular profession like as if he'd done it many times before, but of course, with anonymity on the Internet, I'm beginning to question credibility. He lives in another country as well, so not sure how relevant that may be.
Anyways, if anyone can help determine whether or not this person is trustworthy, that would be very helpful. I can provide screenshots of our email conversations (once censored, of course) and perhaps his Bitcoin wallet- unless that's a dick move to do to someone. I wanna' trust this guy, and he seems like he does want to start a business relation with me, so perhaps I'm getting too wrapped up. But better safe than sorry. I did read the sticky thread, but I'm still pretty iffy.
Feel free to PM me and I can consider giving some more details into my situation so that I could get some better advice or outside commentary.
