This is why I use multiple exchanges and have actually found this forum to be promising cause it's pretty much LBC without having to deal with LBC's middle-maning BS.
I do this for fun I get that may be a lot of money to him but he's a 100+, .5-1 BTC volume exchanger.. nothing is happening on his end.. i'm hoping it's just the weekend but i just want to play some hands of poker and can't use LBC and too scared to use coinbase because of all their bad PR/weird happenings around that company.

You need a little clarity, check the similarity"
Oversee yourself ya big baby, it's your fault the overseers want to fuck with your life, not anyone else's.
File under "not sufficiently responsible/mature to use grown-up stuff" IMO, what next, are you going to shoot yourself in the foot then campaign for a handgun ban?

Can a saudi arabian report a US sitizen to the FBI?I don`t believe this.
I read your thread and i can`t understand why this guy had made three negative claims and reported you to the FBI?Is he trying to scam you,or he thinks that you are trying to scam him?
This is why i trade only with LBC traders with 1000+ positive reviews,who are from Europe or USA.
Nothing personal,but from my experience most of the asian and african traders are suspicious.

Right.. and I'm not getting a response from support either after giving them my lawyer's name, whom i legally have on retainer.. to most people that should be yes sir sorry for the inconvenience...
have made multiple requests to support.. it's not even the money here it's like .003, nothing in the grand schemes again hell the retainer fees i pay on that lawyer justifies itself, looks to me like this guy is trying to just make it difficult for me or who the hell knows but my i have 10+ confirmed trades and my trusted and positive reviews are all 1000+ transaction 5-10 BTC volume per day traders based out of the US.. i'm only doing domestic now.. I have friends who are screwed up emotionally protecting those stupid oil fields and this guy has the gall to REPORT ME? a U.S citizen to the FBI, gtfo.
i've been entirely transparent with the man though.. he has all the leverage while i know nothing about him, btw this was the "link" he provided as proof that he "reported me to the authorities". \
https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspx (FBI).
First off nobody gives a damn in the U.S about $50, especially after i've provided proof of bona fides including a U.S PASSPORT that in itself is worth $100 i believe including the name/location of my LAWYER which is easily another $500 if not MUCH MORE in legal fees over this bs. Even a small claims court would laugh his ass out of the courtroom

Scammers are found all around, if you analyze you'll easily understand that USA has got the majority of scammers. What makes the US traders is the trading volume as well the increased trusted traders were much committed to the service rendered.

In such cases, I think that legal oversight would over-complicate things whereas a WoT is has proven sufficient in regulating user to user transactions. Try to capture evidence of the transaction and I think that you'll be fine most of the time.
LEgal oversight is already existent for bitcoin exchanges that are registered as companies. This is where you should trade if you hold such beliefs. Better rates than LBC too!

Unbelievable. So I chose LocalBitcoins as an exchange as I've heard good things and that its the safest. Have been completely transparent with this guy I've now learned is from Saudi Arabia?? who has made three negative claims against me (all other feedback is good, now I only do cash deposit through banks/credit unions) from U.S vendors. I'm virtually positive those three were all done by him as I've had 0 ISSUE with anyone else
This idiot reports me to the FBI. Now as someone who is serious about a future in this exchange have to do the diligence to either know what's going on or clear my good name.
It's been 12 hours since LBC support has reported but I just can't provide a utility bill because I pay a flat rate for utilities included and said in replace of that I could just as easily provide a lease, mail, drivers license, title of properties (vehicles, etc), whatever is needed. Have been blatantly transparent, told him to contact my lawyer (who btw is probably going to think that some crazy guy from saudi arabia is trying to scam him)
All this for 50 bucks.. I feel like my reputation in of itself is of value in a market such as this. Can anyone give me some advice as what to do?
This is the last post I posted to support:
It's honestly about principle at this point... while I've been completely honest on my end who the hell knows WTF he's doing on his end based out of SAUDI ARABIA (0 transparency, public beheadings and stonings still legal? As far as I know it's a autocracy or whatever the word is for family run state government "saudi royals").
Looks to me like he's trying to strongarm me out of the market and as an honest tax-paying American who has done civil service and grown up all my life in a huge medical/military community this is an insult to me. I have friends and treated families with PTSD defending their oil friends and while I know the U.S isn't perfect we sure as hell aren't run by a single shady family.

Please get back to me within a timely manner, due to the volatility of BTC I lose or gain determining on bank opening and closing times as that seems like the most transparent and traceable way to prove it was me. This is based off eastern standard time in case of this ridiculous matter moving past this.
I have been blatantly and painful transparent throughout all of this, like I said I've heard a case in which you guys were hacked and actually compensated the users back some 21mil worth of BTC a few years ago so I'll be patient with you guys and understand this is just protocol but some questions I'd like answered are
1. What is happening on his end?
2. When I do provide bona fides on documentation how soon can I trade
3. Is there a way to clear the negative rep he made against me? (seems like he did it on three accounts cause not a single other seller I've had problems with)
And on your end: While I've provided documentation and transparency on my end where is the fiduciary duty of the seller? How long a time frame must escrow be released and what steps can be taken to be insure transparency on his part?
