Hi! Newbie here. This is the first thread that I've read. Thank you for the tips!

Would definitely agree if it sounds too good that it usually is

[Pezza]

Very good message. Too many take advantage of the buzz around crypto currencies, it's given the scammers opportunity to con people. I would say if people are selling signals, offering to trade on your behalf etc. question why they need to sell stuff when they are 'so good at trading'.

[HeavLeighGill]

Good points, think we should all watch out for these as scammers can get pretty bad in this market. It's also surprising how crafty they are becoming, it isn't as obvious as it used to be these days.

A few rules to ensure you are not getting scammed.

1: If it sounds too good to be true IT IS.

2: If a person claims to have goods for sale, request that they post a picture of the goods with a piece of paper in the photo with their forum name hand written on it. If they cannot do this, they do not have the goods. DO NOT accept any excuse for them not being able to do this.

3: Do not fall into false claims in posts here that a website selling hardware is legit, especially when the post if from a new member with 1 post and has never posted since.

4: As a rule of thumb, if the seller has to post some long detailed story as to why they are selling an item for cheap, or at all for that matter, IT IS A SCAM.

5: When i doubt, Message me. although this forum is for the most part dead, i frequent here quite often, and check my messages daily. 95% of the time i will be able to tell you if something is a scam before you get ripped off. Also if you know what you want to buy, or what your budget is, i know of many documented legitimate sources for hardware that i have purchased from myself, or someone close to me has purchased from successfully.

6: ALWAYS USE ESCROW
