Be careful guys when using Localbitcoins platform they have turned into a scam site
when you deposite funds there . they will lock your account. and they will ask for


when you provide them full documents they will reply you like this



although my account is already verified account and have more then 500+ trades and more then 15 months old account

Damn, I thought this service was legit. What URL did you use, localbitcoins.com ?

yes

be careful most of the moderators there working as a traders and scamming people if u make complaint you will get banned

i prefer www.paxfull.com much safer

LBC isn’t a scam. Send them valid ID then come back and say sorry when your account is unlocked

Are you promoting Paxfull?  ;). If I am not wrong then there is also scam accusations against Paxfull (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1362884.0). So how we will determine who is better? Are you sure that you have submit original documents ? Or are you trying to submit fake documents? Although I am not using any service from Localbitcoin, but seems they are most popular to local traders. Wondering how other people's verifying their account?

That user's account was hacked obviously.
He didn't set 2fa. There are tons of scammers both on paxful and localbitcoins that will ask you to "click on a link" or "send the code from your email" which you should never do.

i am not promoting paxful. but so far paxful always help their users.and also their feedback system is the best one. you can only leave feedback if some 1 trade you successfully while in LBC you can leave feedback for any body and can spoil his profile with out trading him.
 and my account was already 100% verified with my ID card. i have sent them my valid id with my selfie. how they said its invalid id. i have did what ever they asked. but still they refused. even they have blocked my funds inside my account. and their support is worst ever ,
and keep my words soon other people will also have the same complaint against LBC . it was good but now they are blocking accounts and never let them to withdraw their funds. like the big theives

dear my account was already verified, scamers are every where but paxful care their customers not trying to scam. i have this experience so far, but LBC will try to eat your funds and scam you

after submitting my selfie and other info they sent this message

are you talking about .com and not .net localbitcoins is right?
anyway it sound really strange,  ??? have you ever passed KYC with these documents also in other sites?

yes .com and i have passed same documents in coinbase and blockchain and also okpay

Could you forwarding your ticket (not included picuture or personal data) ? I can't see how your problem come.
But lemme guess, if you lie... like send fake picture or fake personal as verifying account, it might as policy by LocalBitcoins you'll get locked for a while.

here is the ticket number 744178/
all documents are submited there already

they have asked me this
1. A photograph of you ("Selfie") holding up your ID along with a note containing your username and today's date.
2. A photograph of a recent utility bill with your name on it.
3. A photograph of your ID held up in front of your computer screen with the whole screen visible (all four corners) and this ticket page visible.

and i have provided them all

Sorry, i didn't ask your number ticket. But let me know your all message between you and support so we can understand.
Based feedback your ticket, you didn't send a valid data or other. May you could try take new better picture and fresh.

maybe... I try to guess, you're not the first and only owner of this account LBC?
or this account was inactive for a lot of time and now you're connecting from another place/laptop?

i am the owner of the account
and i daily login to my account and i am connecting this account from this computer since i have created it
and have the same id which i used for verification since 18 months ago

check my 1st post which i have started this thread.
sir its clear id, he did not say they id is not cleared he just replied in short invalid


and one of the user of LBC told me that he has same issue  but LBC alllow him to withdraw funds. in my case they have also frozen my funds for nothing  i have not broke their rules. i am following their rules

It wasnt a good idea to start talking about paxful. This created the impression to some members that you were here just to promote paxful and black list localbitcoins. Localbitcoins cant just block your money without explaining why they think your documents are fake. Insist on a reason and offer to send another kind of document with a picture like your drivers license or your passport.

Did you reply asking what is wrong with the information you provided? Might be best asking them what was incorrect with what you sent them.

They have not turned into a scam site. Your profile was probably reported multiple times for a trade involved or they found something shady in your open/closed trades. As far as the validation goes, they have been doing the ID level verification for a long time ago and this isn't something new. Are you sure you submitted the correct documents? I recollect verifying my ID a year ago and that's all. There wasn't any utility bill or other information necessary. Did you buy that LBC account by any chance?

there is no issue with my profile. i tried to login and login was failed then i recover my password through email
and they blocked it
although my account was already verified 18 months ago
but they ask for documents again with selfie
i provided them again

i got this message last time

Unfortunately thats what a majority of people do. Start a scam accusation thread before following up with the site or service.
@Op, mail them back and if you get this resolved, please update this thread to avoid public confusion. I haven't had a problem with KYC verification on their site.

Sure i will update this thread if issue get resolved.

paxfuli is not good solution, there are many negative about the platform in the network

So much for the update..
