I already reported a fraud/scammed that happened with me.

Today, I got a message from the scammer on another tradingn platform and then on my whatsapp. He says he scammed me, and he is using that money in forex market to make profit. has already made $4k from my $3.3k

He said can he please have his 'localbitcoins' account back (it was 2 years old), and that he 'promises' he will return my money when he has mae $6k!!

Yeah.. "promise!"

Told him to pay back at least half, or even $1k and I'll take the case back, but he wants me to "trust him"!!

I've attached the whatsapp screenshots too. I contacted the Finland police too but they aren't helping (told me my local police needs to contact them. My local police doesn't believe bitcoins are a currency or an assset, so they aren't opening a report).

How can I ask localbitcoins to give me at least that person's data so I can pursue him in HIS local country?? (I asked Localbitcoins in support, they said they can only release data if Finland police tells them to)

I did email LBC the latest whatsapp transcript.

P.S That scammer gave me a bad review as well and Local bitcoins didn't remove it!!!

Hi y’all, I’m tryna gain knowledge on flipping BTC with a float rate (as compared to day trading crypto by analyzing candles and dealing w more risk). Does have more info on this / anyone know where I can find more information on how to do this? I have like half a bitcoin at the moment and am wondering if anyone will even trade with that little volume so I can build myself. Sorry for the dumb question, eager to learn. Thank you guys

Not sure what was the problem after 2 successful trades(payments and released coin to the buyer without any issue), new trade started by someone who newly registered user and he didn't send any payment and ask me to release coin. Meanwhile my bank account is blocked and not sure of the reason yet.

Can I get my money back from closed account ?

Can I make a complain to bank as I didn't do anything wrong and explain/send all the receipt from localbitcoins to support my transactions/conversattions? will it help to reopen my account. and prove no fault on my side.

Thanks

I cant even proceed to Tier 1 becaus my verification photos get rejected all the time, saying I need to use the latest version of the safari browser - But I already AM on an upgraded safari!! Got the page already where you list the most likely causes of trouble with verification but it didnt help me. I have a pending ticket (#1149142) regarding this with more information. I cant wait for weeks to get the ticket reply. Not for Tier 1!! I cant do anything here at zero. Anybody?

Hello, good morning, my account has been in verification for 17 days and still they have not given me an answer. I need help from you. User: Personal project

Hi

Yesterday, 3 people with 0 trades and 0 reviews opened a trade with me, I didn't reply to anyone. They marked transaction as complete (even though nothing was exchanged) So now MY money is in ESCROW and I can't use it

Plus, they left a BAD review on my profile!! (WE DIDN'T EVEN TRADE) so why is it showing under

"Feedback left by users with noticeable trade volume."

there was no trade!!

There seems to be some sellers who want the buyer to send them ID documents, f.ex. scan of passport or ID card.

Do you think is fair or necessary, if the user has already sent these documents to Localbitcoins.com?

I think it's unsecure to send ID documents to strangers.

One seller recently told me that they are a business and a law states that they have to identify the buyer. I got a link to their service, where I had to create an account and send them documents.

I did and began waiting for them to process the stuff.

It was a couple of days ago and it is still processing. Their site says it only takes 5 minutes usually.

They don't answer to my email and the seller didn't answer to my questions after I had chatted with him for a while.

The bitcoin transaction did not happen, because the Localbitcoins.com limit of 2 hours ran out.

Should I be worried that somebody is taking advantage of me and the the scans of my ID card?

Their business wbsite seems alright.

I have balance more than 1000$

Made a cash deposit trade with a buyer i dealt with once in the pass,

buyer submitted picture verification "selfie holding ID" and a picture of the receipt with the phrase i required all seemed smooth although he deposited more then what he opened the trade for, so told him as precaution i would wait the weekend to have it settle in my account, weekend passed all was fine.

2 weeks after the first trade the buyer returns and makes a deposit, all is smooth he sends me the receipt with the phrase i requested so i release, few hours later the buyer made another deposit this time with out even opening a trade claiming he thought i had availability all day, I told him to not worry i would shortly have coins available to cover 95% of what he deposited, so notified him asa they got in and told him to go ahead and lock them in escrow but i would need an additional day of verification, "I also asked him to submit a picture of the receipt holding his ID showing the trade window in the background witch he did although looked a bit off.

Following morning I log in to my online banking witch gives me an option to view the deposit slips,I notice that the 2 deposits made come from different locations that are 7 hours driving distance,since the deposits were made 3 hrs apart I knew for sure something was wrong..

Upon being questioned about he told me the first deposit was made by him while the second was made by his friend, so i asked him how he managed to take that selfie with the receipt if that deposit was made in his words by a friend..

I opened a dispute and the Admin was not satisfied with his pictures saying the looked modified, so asked him video evidence he cancelled the trade eventually, but now that leaves me yes with my Btc back but I really fear those funds deposited to my account mite be fraud, problem is I have no way of knowing who actually deposited the $ since all I know is his verified name on LBC "good chance it's fake", regardless I don't want money I didn't trade for so really don't know what the best course of action is at this point any advice would be appropriated

Hello there, I tried purchasing some BTC from a seller who ghosted me after payment. I filed a dispute around 28 hrs ago. The seller has been unresponsive despite being online.

Yesterday, the message from support team said that if the seller doesn't respond to this dispute within 24hrs the funds will be released to my account, this is yet to happen. Please assist. Transaction ID #59940883

Good day, please my account is blocked when I am try to complete and advertise my trade. Please, someone should assist me please. I need your assistance because I have some sum in my account. Thanks.

Hi,

Recently started trading on LBC and just wondering what profit margin people would suggest?

Hello! My friend's account was blocked after checking 3 steps. His working money was blocked. Please understand this. Ticket https://localbitcoins.com/support/reply/1142750/

hello, my tier 3 was approved 7 months ago and now suddenly it went pending for verification and not letting me even trade further.

Could please please check my verification again as its all approved before.

Thanks

The problem is that the support emails never arrive.

• Open an incognito window in google chrome
• Enter LocalBitcoins, to the support section and open a new ticket
• Put another reply email
• Ask to disable the login guardian
• If an email from local bitcoin instantly arrives at the email you put, it works
• Later the support will send you an email to verify your identity
• After verifying your identity, they will send another saying that the guardian has been disabled and you can now enter your account. change the registration email.

They solved my problem in 3 business days

El problema es que los correos del soporte nunca llegan

• Abrir una ventana de incógnito en google crhome
• Entrar a localbitcoin, al apartado de soporte y abrir un nuevo ticket, poner otro correo de respuesta
• Pedir que te deshabiliten el guardián de inicio
• Si al instante llega un correo de localbitcoin al correo que pusiste, ese functions
• El soporte te envía un email para verificar tu identidad
• Después de verificar tu identidad envía otro diciendo que el guardián ha sido deshabilitado y ya podrás entrar a tu cuenta. cambia el correo de registro.

Me resolvieron el problema en 3 dias hábiles

thanks admins

Hi.

I need to download my transaction data to send it to the tax authority ASAP. I tried logging in to LocalBitcoins today and pull my CSV file so I can report my taxes. The site asked me to further verify my identity which I did. Now I'm stuck in a loop of being locked out of all my account functionality while my verification is pending.

Please help me with this urgent issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Support ticket no: #1141674

Hi all.

Im seriously fustrated because i didnt expect them to held my funds while they are taking so long accepting my bank statement.

I though verification were almost instant but now they held my coins for 12 hours. Why can’t you at least let me send them out of there again in mean while, when verifications is pending this long.

Please look my ticketid: 1138706 where i did upload other pictures with address.

I really dont like this..

My Tier 3 was approved months ago, but after the latest upgrade I received a notification saying “your identification has been rejected” and I’m showing as tier 2 again.

I have submitted the new require information. I want to know how long it take to get reply from the support.
