I too got a trade request from "nicoled"
He/She replied to a bitcoin buy ad in Chicago area. They wanted to do a bank deposit despite the ad clearly saying in person trade for cash. After I reiterated the terms (cash in person) they quickly aborted the trade.
Topic: Mycelium Local Trader for in person cash trades (Read 730 times)
As I've already exposed their creds above, screenshots would be academic. Mycelium doesn't display the full BTC address in user info & the offer they made was one where I would have gotten BTC (otherwise it would have showed me their full address to start, or upon my acceptance of their offer, I think).
IDK if there's a better thread for this, but I got a scam attempt from (no Bitcointalk username match) nicoled on Local Trader. ID 1JcUks...BDvL2w
Tried to get me to send XLM first, claimed I was "new" despite my 876 day account age vs their 24. I referred them to bitrated.com/thebutterzone/linked (and put my trader name in my profile for them, temporarily) but they ignored all my cross-linked ratings, then they tried to run the "increments" con, then after my last refusal they said "Yea and I'm stupid enough to send btc... No thanks" and stopped the trade. I found their offer under Buy Bitcoin in Los Angeles, CA. Screenshots taken if anyone wants me to upload to Imgur.

Upload them here please and expose them. It always makes my day when dishonest people are stopped on their tracks long before they can wreak havoc on someone’s financial life. Expose their Mycelium credentials and any links you found about them. I know it’s probably moot, considering they could simply change their trader credentials and btc address but giving them all that work to do is a small piece of justice.
Yep, the increments scam is how they hit those they can’t outsmart or those they can’t boss around for the full amount. Then they throw a hissy fit when you refuse to send even smaller amounts of coin upfront. Priceless.

Does anyone use the Mycelium Local Trader on their Android phone to find or sell bitcoin locally?
I have been using it for about a year now and I love it. When I started using it there wasn't really much in the way of feedback, all the reviews were of the wallet and not Local Trader which is like an app inside the wallet.
I wrote my own review here.

I don't get a lot of business from it but the buyers I do get here in Cincinnati have been pretty loyal. I can also advertise in Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, Lexington and Louisville since they are close enough for me to drive to.
If you have used it what do you think?
