My advice is, don't talk to the cops and get a lawyer if you think you're going to get arrested. At least talk to a lawyer. I don't trust cops or lawyers all that much, but if you think you're going to be on the losing end of this then you need a lawyer. Good luck.

I sold a good chunk of bitcoins last year through cash deposit. It was my first time selling and I didn't really know anything about protecting myself from MiM scam. I set up an ad on localbitcoins and included my phone number (FIRST MISTAKE). I got a text message from a person wanting to buy my coins. We had a conversation and exchanged details for the trade. I told him to open up escrow on localbitcoin but he deposited money into my bank account first... Surprised but satisfied with the money, I sent him bitcoins to him directly to his wallet address and that was the end of that...I thought.
Fast forward to now, I get a phone call from a police from another state saying I'm a suspect in an internet scam involving a victim who thought was buying a vehicle. I explained to him that this is a mistake and explained the money was from selling bitcoins. The police wants proof of this but I don't really have any proof of this trade happening...I probably don't know what the phone number is even if I do get a number from my phone company...
What should I do? I'm thinking about going to see a lawyer but I think I'm pretty fucked in this situation.
