How do you get scammed?
LBC has an escrow system to keep you safe from scammers.
Is that the scammer from your place? If yes then good, but if not then what is the use of contact info?
You just paid $3000 to learn a lesson
An expensive lesson....

An expensive lesson.... I don't understand why people cry over something they can avoid by all means necessary. LBC even the rate of scam is on the increase there, they have a system in place that if followed completely there is lite chance of falling victim but Op might have allowed himself to have been deceived to circumvent some of the rules because of reasons best known to the scammer.
There was a thread about this sometimes ago where comments and suggestions were raised about how to stay safe on LBC but that what people don't read until they are the next victim now you have to incur more amount to do the right thing. Let's even agree you found him and you are on the other side of the world the cost of meeting him along is on the high side and you are not sure he will be able to pay you, what exactly would you do?
