I'm thinking about getting a maine coon. Anybody on here had any experience with them?
Also, are there any places I should look at or things I should look for in getting one? Like so I don't get scammed.

Look for a rescue, they're more likely to have a Maine Coon. Or go to cat shows to find a breeder if you want.

The Maine Coon is a popular breed, so you should be very careful getting one from a breeder. Make sure they do all the necessary yearly health testing. Don't take the breeders word on it, ask for a copy. Any good breeder will be glad you are asking.
You should try to visit a cat show near you to meet a breeder in person.

If you decide to rescue, go through the breed club, as most rescues will call any long haired cat a MC.

You might also look for an "exotic cat rescue". There is a place that calls itself that around me and it Maine coons, Bengals, etc.

To be fair, I'm sure OP will be more than happy with a long hair obese moggy and call it a maine coon.
