If you have lots of prepaid cash cards then you could buy BTC from a SR vendor. Login and put "bitcoin" or something in the search bar and see who comes up. This can be very risky so you must do your research to seek out a reputable vendor.

Sign up for a wallet. You can exchange money for BTC various ways depending on what country you're in. I do cash transfers at local gas stations. Works okay so far. Though I've only done it twice, so I'm no expert!

www.bitcointalks.com is a scam, if it is too good to be true, it probably is...  bitcoins is a market, like stock the value changes, it could be 12 tomorrow.  You just have to watch and pick a time to buy.
