One of the screenshots you posted shows that you have used the website from 2016.

Probably you would think twice before accusing them of being a ponzi scheme after such a long time.
I strongly believe it's only a ponzi pyramid website like MMM (which I lost a lot in past) would act in such a manner. I.e I send BTC in and that it, it has gone I can't get it anymore. It does not matter how long. As it is today, MMM is still popular even though it's banned in some countries in Europe.

They don't ask for investments they don't offer returns, it's not a ponzi scheme, and I'm thinking you don't even have a clue what a ponzi is.

You where tagged by their team, probably because of a fraudulent payment since I can see in your screenshot a national transfer that was cancelled. And u sure have a history of cancelled transfers.
Offcourse they do, I sent BTC in and the BTC is already charged some amount less, and the only successful transaction was not charged. The BTC i sent in became low as a result I cant even access anything now.

Have you tried to talk with the guy you were supposed to trade?
Have you asked localbitcoin to release your funds?
All the trades are closed and cant chat to any of the traders, it was canceled since 2016/2017. I had just one successful transaction in 2018. Just one person i bought from and it released the BTC instantly then I sent more in and that's it.  Locked

First of all, please move this thread to scam accusation section, so that DT or other members can do their best to suggest you a solution.

Localbitcoins is just an exchange, this is not a ponzi site or anything like that.

Localbitcoins is the only one who can give you clarification why they have accused you by fraudulent activity.

The best thing for you to do is to post on their forum for help and another way is to solve the issue by contacting their support.

The profile or ID was opened since 2016 and I have only used it 2 to 3 times while having just one successful transaction recently. I receieved BTC into the localbitcoins wallet address (13KDirU7vAeBQ1Pj33YSV5Q6yGS27TRDxL) recently and I found out that I can no longer use it. I can't send my BTC out, I cant use it on the website either.

I can proof everything here. My account is even verified.




This is the message i received from Locabitcoins.com

Hi!

Unfortunately your account is now deemed to high risk to trade on this platform due to the fraudulent activity(intention or not) this account has committed.

As a result you are no longer allowed to trade on this platform

Thank you for understanding

Best regards, LocalBitcoins

"Hi, As a matter of fact, I have never partake in any fraudulent activities as this is my 2/3rd time of using the localbicoincs.com services. I am really shocked by the reply I received while on tour, I had to quickly get online to reply.

If I am not allowed to use the service, can I get my BTC back in this case ?

Thank you"

'If I am not allowed to use the service, my BTC should be returned to me. Did I run into a ponzi website ? Like 17m I have never, again never done any fraudulent activity before. Not even one. Can Localbitcoin proof this to me. What is this for crying out loud. I want my BTC back.Like
9m Where is the Admin, I need my BTC back, this is not good.Like'
