Title: LOCALBITCOINS MIRROR
Post by: Guvn0r on July 15, 2018, 05:34:20 AM
There is a new link showing up as google ad which will take you to a site which is a clone mirror of the original site : https://localbitcoins.com/

Here is the clone mirror site link: https://localbitcoins.net/

WARNING:: They are both different sites.

They are both legit, '.net' is their official mirror.

I felt suspicious when the url was .net and the site said .com , then tried to check in wiki - saw .com. I send them a support ticket to confirm about this, got no response.
I will edit post once I get a response from them.

Thanks, I will edit the post now.. I have seen many clones appear in the form of google ads so that made me doubt them.

True. In before, we have seen many such fakes of blockchain.info being advertised on Google SERP through Adwords, which stole people's fund. Its good to be skeptical in Crypto world.

Regarding the authenticity of LocalBitcoins.net, I just found this discussion on LocalBitcoins.com's own forum - https://localbitcoins.com/forums/#!/localbitcoins/general-discussion:what-is-localbitcoinsnet-a

Please point them to this (https://localbitcoins.com/forums/#!/general-discussion:what-is-localbitcoinsnet-a/its-legit-it-is-our-russi) and ask for clarification. On May 3, 2017 their own admin stated on their own support forum that .net is their Russian mirror.
