I am giving up the hobby because there is way to many scams. Every experience I have had has not been good.OK, let's start with the basics. Which providers have you seen? Were they ECCIE, BP or from some other source?
While this is distressing to hear, we need to know more about what happened. In posting this, I think you are looking to find a good experience and most of the posters on this thread would like to help you.
And what are you calling a scam? You've said that you didn't have any money stolen, nor were you threatened. So just what DID happen that you label as a scam?
I have read worse horror stories here on ECCIE, but I have not had any good experiences with any provider I have meet. No money had been stolen from me nor have ever been in a threatening situation.
At least that's a good thing. This is a risky hobby to pursue, one reason a board like this one is so valuable if used properly.
On the other hand, I have never experienced good service. I am a very mild manner calm middle age gentlemen. I wish everyone good luck and for people to stay safe. Originally Posted by tallsteven
