Tell me about your experience! I’m confused, didn’t you meet in person? Did you do the exchange with the person sitting in front of you?

I haven't tried making transaction on localbitcoin, don't have any accounts either but seeing there were crimes with it where one party robbed the other instead of exchanging. This is really a scary situation which is why this is something really not worth doing unless you do meet in the public place. Title: Re: Have you ever exchanged your Bitcoins through Localbitcoins?

At OP, it's always hard to see a genuine seller in localbitcoin though there are few. Some of the sellers there with postive feedbacks are fake. There was a time I wanted to purcahse bitcoin there, luckily the guy was busted and i found out he was a scam, could have losed my money. Localbitcoin used to be good before but not anymore. You just can't trust it and paxful . Title: Re: Have you ever exchanged your Bitcoins through Localbitcoins?

But why use zelle transfer,if it works like paypal then the transaction can also be disputed which could mean that bitcoin goes to the buyer and his USD be returned. what is better in this transaction is fiat in exchange of BTC. This is safe than a payment system that can be used to scam. Title: Re: Have you ever exchanged your Bitcoins through Localbitcoins?

Tell me about your experience! I’m confused, didn’t you meet in person? Did you do the exchange with the person sitting in front of you? Nope, it wasn't that kind of trade. He was supposed to send the money through zelle to my bank account (which he did) and then I would release the bitcoins through an escrow. That's what happened but three days later I check my bank account and it turned out to be frozen! It said that I owed the bank 888,888.88$ USD. I had to make tons of phone calls in order to get my previous balance available again Title: Re: Have you ever exchanged your Bitcoins through Localbitcoins?

A lot of the big traders in there recommend Wells Fargo since they still accept cash deposits onto someone else's account Title: Re: Have you ever exchanged your Bitcoins through Localbitcoins?

Localbitcoin's team recommended to go to the police to report the case, Bank of America said the same thing. What other choices do I have to exchange my bitcoins to USD?

Post by: BTCforJoe on February 16, 2018, 08:58:55 PM I've had successful transfers, and I've had fraudulent transfers where the payments were reversed on my payment processing accounts.
Be extremely cautious when dealing with Bitcoin buyers via PayPal. I used to think that the payment was safe if sending as "Friends or Family" via PayPal, but I had a payment that was reversed because the PayPal account that was used to send me the funds for the Bitcoin I sold ended up being hacked. I actually had a conversation with the owner of the account (the hacker didn't have access to his mark's email address), and the dude got screwed for tens of thousands of dollars because of the PayPal hack. LocalBitcoins.com is best for face-to-face meetups. Be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS when dealing with digital transfers or bank wires. Make sure to ask for documentation for EVERYTHING, and look out for the following things (as a seller):
I know that this sounds tedious, but trust me; it will help protect you in the end. Even if your trade is only for $100 or less, it would suck to be charged back or have a payment reversed for that $100...
