I HAVE saved myself $100's, several times, simply through checking for scam reports beforehand.
So the reports DO help.
This time I just got lazy. That's all. Lost $220, a lot for me.
Lesson is - don't get lazy.
Don't assume.
Don't rely on those comparing websites with glowing reviews.
Check the forums, check Reddit.

Sorry to head that out thats why we shouldnt really be that lazy because each wrong move to be made would really cost us money.
I dont know why people do still got confused nor lost when using up a mixer? Chipmixer is there and been mainly suggested when it comes to
mixer but people still got lost on using unknown ones. Googling doesnt really cost an arm and leg though.
