Just got hit with a £4k chain scam on localbitcoin.
I sold £4095.80 worth of BTC by bank transfer to 255encore who has good feedback and all good.
Unfortunately 255encore had previously done a deal with Gyorgy4545 who had paid with fraudulent funds which was then used to pay me (the chain of payments made was confirmed by a call from my bank)
End result is the bank have frozen the £4k in my account which will end up going back to 255encore where it will be frozen again to end back up in the scammers account.
So if you do use LBC avoid any dealings with Gyorgy4545.
Also goes to show doing due diligence and only trading with people with good feedback makes no difference as you never know who they have traded with in the past.
Now waiting to find out how 255encore is going to repay the money due to me.
