Dude, sorry for this.
A couple of days earlier he confirmed in a topic, that this selfie was bought on the deepweb and was used to verify the skrill account, which was probably 3rd party account.
This is why I personally don't put much stock on people supposedly providing their credentials/ID's online. I mean, why would they do that?
Isn't it just to gain your trust for nefarious reasons? Tsk.
Sorry for your loss OP, and yes I hope localbitcoins ban him as well.
There's not much hope in recovering those funds, in cases such as these. Just take it as an expensive lesson/experience.
