Title: Anyone used/heard of Bitcoin Direct?
Post by: RandomSynapse on October 23, 2012, 04:37 pm
Compared to BitInstant charging 5%, a fee of half a percent is cheap but is it a scam?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87094.msg956675#msg956675

I mean they don't even have a website. 

Anyone use them?  Problems?

There's a stickied scam warning thread somewhere around here that says that bitcointalk.com is a scam while bitcointalk.org is a legit message board.

So, there you go. Scam.

If something seems too good to be true... it is.

The link in the OP is to the .org message board. So, I'm not saying that that isn't a scam because I have no idea, but you incorrectly jumped to a conclusion based on your own (correct) information by misreading?

Misreading.
