There am I not logined, while I am that in localbitcoins.
Is that a scammer?

Anyone can send a mail from support@localbitcoins.com. U need to be careful while clicking the link, the link is of https://localbitcoins.com, NOT the link text. Be careful. This is a standard scam practice and there is no way to prevent it unless user is careful.
