It means that the scammer started a trade for the Kaiku card on Localbitcoins and got OP to fund it. The scammer runs with the funds, leaving OP with nothing.

Scammer -> Starts escrow on LocalBitcoins.
Scammer -> Gets OP to pay the seller on Localbitcoins by claiming its him.
op -> Pays and expects BTC
Scammer -> Gets BTC from Localbitcoins seller, leaves.

Leaves a dispute between op and the seller on Localbitcoins

Thanks for simplifying it for me.I get it now.
Basically,this is smart lol Too dumb of OP to not contact the trader on localbitcoins with his own account.
@Op,Why didn't you use your personal localbitcoins account for the exchange ?
