Many Selllers on localbitcoins are getting attacked by fraud buyers and there's no way to stop them. I never got problems but i released bitcoins by mistake to a new buyer due to same amount of transactions i got today. That asshole didn't even bothered to reply back. I have created support ticket etc but i doubt they are even going to reply soon.

Seriously feeling bad now as today is a festival here, which is about wealth.

I am not sure why they allow people to buy bitcoins without even verifying email address.
Their phone verification system is also not working properly here in india so it's hard to track these kind of buyers.


Anyways how was your day?



Opps, that sucks. How much did you lost?

Around 100$, luckily i didn't lost more.

What happens when an escrow makes a mistake?
Is he responsable for the loss?

Yes, and no i wasn't doing escrow. I was selling my own coins on localbitcoins.com.

Sorry you got ripped off, escrow.ms. It's risky business trying to exchange currencies, where there is a risk of chargebacks, or reversal.

Hopefully, you'll be able to recover your losses, and move on.

Some trusted escrow do give back the loss. But most ran away..

Sorry to hear that.
This is why I prefer trading here with reputable members.
Well mostly overworked, tired.. been awake since 7am, and now hitting the GYM, and tonight going out to have fun. All in all not a too bad day here.  Cool

Nice and goodluck for your night out man Smiley
