LocalBitcoin is a good place to start for beginner. In fact, you do not need to use card, you can use cash if a trader is near to you. This way, it is safer for you and him (I believe).

If you would like to purchase Bitcoin online with your card, I'd recommend a platform that support your country. Like me, in Singapore, there is platforms like CoinHako which I can trade my Bitcoin safety using my local currency. I would recommend you Coinbase or Bitstamp if you cannot find a local Bitcoin trading company/website that can be trusted. Coinbase and Bitstamp is two of the most popular and trusted Bitcoin exchanges around.

* I have never trade on any of the platform I mentioned.
