i had used localbitcoin site for buying and selling bitcoins but did not faced any problem, they have the best escrow service through which you can do trading very fast and securely. if you had used the transaction without escrow service , then that is your fault, for savings little services charges you have risked your full wallet bitcoin and now you are shouting that you got scammed through localbitcoin site.

Why would such a big site that's making huge profits every day scam people. In which way?
Do you mean the users? It's almost impossible to get scammed in LBC unless you buy Paypal/Skillet with bitcoin, but that your problem to not know how to analyze someone trust. And I don't think someone with good ratings will scam you for some small bucks.

It's much a P2P site. It's like calling Bitcointalk.org froum scam because one of the member scamed you.

Another vague claim with horrible English..
How do you all here mock me for speaking so poorly when you see crap like this ?

So OP is it the site that scammed you  OR  a user that uses the web site ?

big difference !

It's incredible that there are still not easy and quick ways to purchase Bitcoins worldwide. I know it's easier on Coinbase and similar but it's not available in every country. The rest of us have to go to questionable exchanges and procedures. I feel this is one of the main cons of Bitcoin going mainstream (we can leave common people trying to understand the wallet with decimals and technical key stuff for another thread)

I have traded there for some time now and haven't had any troubles but only ones but it was due to some glitch in their site and it was sorted very soon. OP, can you describe what exactly happened with you, maybe it's not the LBC that scammed you but a trader, there are scammers everywhere and LBC is not an exception, more since the accounts are being sold.

Not your Keys, not your Bitcoin
localbitcoins.com scammers

This page that it should protect and mediate a dispute before it becomes arbitrarily at will. after waiting 3 days for technical support close the case without waiting for testing. which call on the least appropriate times, the idea is that one does not deliver the evidence ?.It is not the first time but enough. it is a scam . be very careful with that page.
