Same profile, same guy / guys
When i received the funds, i released my escrow and 1 min after i received a Paypal Chargeback..
The Paypal dispute was closed - in his favour.
Today i call Paypal about this, and explained the full case.
The expert checked the transaction and it seems that his Paypal profile have issues with lot of Paypal Disputes and Chargeback so it's Paypal account was frozen. And it also seems that his bank blocked the incoming transactions.
The expert told me that in theory this case should move in my favour and i will get the money back within 60 days.
You should call Paypal, about your own case.
-> BTW : I contacted LocalEtherum and explained the case. His account is now closed.
Topic: LocalEthereum: Scammers watchout!! (Read 138 times)
Hello everyone a few days ago a came across a localbitcoins look alike called localethereum ...its a decentralized p2p exchange platform and actually it has people offering good services but scammers are always present anywhere.This a warning to all the people that are thinking of using the site.This is my story.
I was looking for a quick way to make some few extra bucks so i found a way of buying ether at a low price and selling it at a higher price. I found a way through paypal(I know am dumb dont tell me) So i was skeptical at first because there is no way a person could be buying ether at an above market price unless he has some he stole the paypal account or has bad motives but i had some 150bucks to spare and test my theory...we transacted and by the end i had 200 which is 50 bucks in profit i was happy but still knew there was a possibility of a chargeback (its paypal for God's sake and am dealing with digital assests )...so i never traded with the guy again and waited for at least one month so that i can know if its legit or shit...after 6 days(today) i got a paypal dispute that the funds were sent without the senders approval and that i provide proof of shipment and shit....i did provide the escrows site proof but i think it wont be enough so am going to loose the funds...I contacted localethereum support to know if the scammer will be dealt with or if i will get my funds back...all blame goes to me because i got greedy and did not listen to all the warnings..Anyway i lost so that you may not lose your hard earned cash and maybe something good will come out of this..

Watchout for the all the others with a rate above average or avoid paypal as mentioned on the site and you should be good to go.
I will always strive to warn guys occassionally to avoid such issues from happening to anyone else.
