Tried doing a sell today with a 0 trade user. He marked the trade as paid in a few minutes without ever even attempting to contact me or actually make the payment. Is this just a common scam attempt they have there now?

Localbitcoins is a safe place to trade even with their newest members(Don't use reversible payment methods like PayPal, SEPA etc ). If you get scammed on localbitcoins than you need to re-think about it that how foolish you are? Localbitcoins provide escrow to both the parties which means neither can be scammed. I don't know if anyone is foolish enough to release the bitcoins before getting payment.

I did think of that after I entered into the trade. The dispute was resolved in my favor.

Yes, I know that's why always prefer to trade with a trusted member with lowest response time, trading with a member with no trust and trade always end up with a lot of delay in the transaction. It is always a time wasting process, as most of them don't know how to proceed further or they don't have sufficient funds.

Good Luck.

You can lock the thread now.

First of all you should have never traded with a user who has absolutely no trade history unless you are dealing with irreversible payment methods which are rare in the fiat transaction payment processors.

It's actually quite a stupid scam. Simply open a dispute, and you should be able to get your money back.

A mediator will enter your chat, and solve issues. You should be able to get your funds out of escrow fairly quickly.

I only use this services once before and I am satisfied with the result. I think its the seller that has the intention to scam and localbitcoin is just a way to connect with buyers and sellers. Just be careful and transact only with the reputable seller/buyer.

Well it's very odd because you can easily dispute the transaction with localbitcoins and get your money back since he has no proof that he has paid and you have every proof in the world that you have not been paid.

It should be just case of very bad scamming tactics, and that is why you never release before you actually get your btc/fiat.

Have you ever used the site and understood how the site is working? I am giving some example. If the guys sell Bitcoin for a SEPA/SWIFT transfer and after the transaction is noted as completed, then the guy contact his bank to cancel the transfer. What localbitcoin is going to do, Nothing, it doesn't have any authority on banks, you know?? If the guy sells for Paypal and the buyer open a disupute (or others methods I am not going to tell here ) what localbitcoin will do? Nothing

So stop posting your useless advice, I am sure you don't have an account on localbitcoin, nor you understand something

Sorry about that but I only use IMPS, And as I know seller/buyer verify identity when there is any risk involved in the transaction. and people who want to buy or sell can easily see the user's record and use their due diligence whether to trade with him or not.

Why trade with someone with no feedback anyway? If the rates sounds too good to be true then you probably shouldn't take the risk (even If he have high trust). I'm pretty sure you will find multiple traders. Localbitcoins has nothing to do with this as you are trading with individuals so you should always watch out and there are people who are actually buying and selling accounts so It's possible that you are not trading with the original owner of the account.
