I have recieved two private messages asking if I could do their sites, are they trying to take advantage of me becuase im a new member? I was intrested in doing one of their sites but I do not want to be scammed like I have read about.

People will ask you via PM if you want to trade. If you agree to the trade make sure you use the trade module. Since you have traded before you have a TR of 0. You probably want to trade with TR 4 or higher. You will expected to "go first" on the sites.

But I have not posted anywhere saying I was intrested in trading, this is why I found it odd.

Maybe they are PM spaming people who are online now? What are their TR records? Click on their name instead of the subject line of the PM.

Yeah I'd watch out for those people. They purposely lurk around for new guys.

I'm contacting and temp-banning both people who sent you unsolicited PM's.

It is against the rules to PM people who have shown no prior interest in Tradng.

EX. alot of people post trading threads (site for site) but they agree to complete my sites for $$$. They didn't state anything against it in their post.
