A similar thread has already been created in the Bitcoin discussion board. However, it might be important for any beginner who goes straight to this board to know that the website which is considered the official site of Bitcoin is hacked.
Someone searching for Bitcoin online might be led to Wikipedia. Bitcoin.org is indicated there as the website of Bitcoin. They might trust whatever is written there. Please be informed that a scammer has already taken over that site.
There is a double-your-money offer presented on the site. That is a scam.
We don't know when it will be taken down. For now, avoid sending any amount of Bitcoin to the address indicated there.
