thanks for the heads up op.

as for the response of the 2fa comment, wouldnt it be pointless still if they had the login through that site since they can reset the 2fa? cause id assume the pw be the same as the actual email login as well.

most peoples passwords are literally the same for most of their other logins.

Wouldn't you need to enter the 2FA code to disable 2FA? You need to enter the code to withdraw.

On the codes you get about 50+ on paper and a master code to use and can simply generate more on it for future use. if the app you do need to enter it to dissable or you can have admin remove it off account and disable. Not sure on localbicoins if admin would do unless proof of ownership is provided. Other sites I have had this on as lost me phone and needed resetting provided proof of ownersihp took a while but they removed it so I could re add.

Just curious op, if you posted this on the localbitcoins thread.

They should announce stuff like this, cause my friend would be easily tricked since hes new to all this bitcoin stuff and I cant hold his hand all the time about bitcoin.

I remember a bigger problem that localbitcoins had besides this small phishing attempt was that love bug.

I use paper and copy on me system. And for change of email I have each app and each pc with seprate codes so that if any attempt is made on ie gmail it pops up or alerts me. with regards to localbitcoins now sure how the app one works weather can use on any device but if it is pared and changed on other places it locks it out on some stuff I use so that you have to contact support in order to have it reset.

You can also use login guard so that if it detects IP change or browser it will also lock account down on localbitcoins.
LocalBitcoins remembers your web browsers and verifies logins are coming from the same browser. If an unknown web browser is encountered, an email confirmation is required before the login can proceed. So I would recommend using in future some options like this.

If your coins are gone I would raise ticket with support to see if anything can be done.

I  get many like this I just report mark as scam and file it to the shredder folder however forward them to localbitcoins team so they can be made aware of it. any ones I get know of however when random fake emails or not listed I always double check and never click any links or BS within them unless I know it is me awaiting any confirmation emails or requests.

Best thing to also have on is 2 step versification. Never leave home without it saved me ass many times. Nothing can be done if coins gone other than request to support but once gone doubt will able to be had back as in the time account cant be logged in that's the coins sne to hackers BTC address and also poss your email compromised too so I would make sure to change all paswords and delete any recovery emails you get from it.

what can i do if i have done the login on the fake site? i cant login now. i really have a problem now. will i get my coins back? is localbitcoins able to handle this problem?

Your coins are probably gone. Doubt the phisher would change login details and leave the coins. Nothing localbitcoins can do, next time use 2FA and be more careful.
