Perhaps you can try to get their attention on Twitter and see how it goes. https://twitter.com/LocalBitcoins.
Seems effective to me once, (but not LBC), I have a issue with a exchange and not responding to my queries. But when I tweet something and it attracts a lot of attention, they quickly resolved it. hehehehe. Try it might work Wink

localbitcoins.com is not realiable and cannot be trusted with your bitcoin. I'm not able to recover them. No response from the support.

Lesson learned that you don't send money to anyone if you are under the influence of alcoholic drinks.

the OP can still retrieve the account back but  he will be ask to provide some certain private documents. However, the chance of getting the account or the bitcoin back is 70/30%.
If he's okay with that then he had to because he don't have choice but to provide those info's or docs that can prove his identity if LBC support asks him.

Next time, don't do it if you're drunk or worse will happen.

That's never a good idea  Undecided

Did you check whether you received the email to confirm your address ?
Since you didn't even verify your email it may be possible that you have misstyped your address when registering ?
Or is the resetting email the only one not showing up in your mailbox?

Usually you should be able to gain access to your account. You will just have to wait for the support to answer your ticket. And you will prove that you own this account.

He have to wait for localbitcoin support respond but if the OP type his email correctly when registering the account, the OP can still retrieve the account back but  he will be ask to provide some certain private documents. However, the chance of getting the account or the bitcoin back is 70/30%.

Unfortunately only localbitcoins.com can help you in this situation.

Those recovery emails usually get sent pretty fast. Did you check whether you have used the correct email address (the ones you have used to signup with) ?
And you might also want to check whether it got moved into your spam folder. This happens quite frequently with such auto-generated emails.

If you have entered the correct mail address and also didn't found the mail in your spam folder, you probably have to wait until the support will answer your mails.
They are the only ones who are able to help you in this case  Undecided

Bitcoin = Financial freedom
Can you get access to the email you put in originally and to the verify link inside of that, if so, I'd verify the email to see if you can reset the password.

When sending somthing to their support, it might have been helpful to send a signed message from the deposit address if you can.
Yes,if he entered the right email address then he received the confirmation email so he can click the link that to verify that,I think it will automatically redirect him to the LBC account without entering passwords.

*You guys need to be very careful while entering passwords related to crypto currency because if you lost it then there maybe no way to recover it so it is necessary to have the backup of passwords,private seeds and also like bitcoin addresses.

Can you check your PM and help me? I sent you a PM. Maybe you can help me, there is 25% reward of the amount inside. Please help me somehow.

Send that info to them not me Smiley.

I can do nothing I have no affiliates at lbc (as far as I know).

I can confirm the signed message though if you like but I sense that won't do any good?

I have signed up on localbitcoins.com - deposited bitcoins - and can't login.
I have made an account on localbitcoins.com - Logged out and didn't verify my e-mail, forgot my password. I actually know it but probably misstyped it when registered.
And now I can't recover my password, the recovery mail doesn't pop-in
I have opened ticket but it will take forever.
I have deposited there 0.01200000, and at this point I think those bitcoins will be lost forever into their wallet Cheesy

What should I do?

I tried everything...
