yes the scam is bad within this game ...
do not trust anyone ... they all want to steal from you, blow up your ship or rape you
there is nothing for free ... if the offer looks too good to be true its 99.9% scam.
Always check 3times or more before you do something.
as said above DO NOT shoot others and DO NOT loot yellow cans/wracks until you know what you do, DO NOT move below 0.5 and DO NOT fly a ship which you cant afford to lose (pvp is always on)
if you want to do mission running (like dailies in other mmorpg without limits) I would maybe aim for a drake (caldari bc) and then tengu. Minmatar is also nice forpve and pvp. Amaar only good if you stay in amaar space. And gaylente (especially pirate ship rattlesnake for those who wants pve afk). It doesnt matter which race you choose in the beginning, because you can train everything afterwards so now worry there.
Also incursions are great for making money but its a bit far away for a beginner.
