Title: Problem with LocalBitcoins false feedback Post by: NiceSoft12 on December 12, 2014, 12:31:28 AM I've been an oustanding trader on localbitcoins. Never had a problem with anyone until recently. I hadn't logged on for almost a month. I see my feedback score has changed from 100 to 96%. I hadn't even done a trade.
In the feedback, it showed someone saying "this user costed me $, send me .1 btc to address and i will remove this" How is that possible that I costed this person money? I wasn't even online when he posted this false feedback. I contact LBC and all they did was make this user change his negative feedback to "user won't pay for $ lost" . This has in fact made it worse, because before the false feedback was an obvious blackmail attempt, now it just looks like it could be anything. Can I find out how this user was able to leave me this false feedback and what transaction it was for? I've had perfect history and 30-100btc volume, so there are a lot of transactions in the past, and LBC can't do anything to remove this.

Find a cancelled trade from right before you got that feedback. That's the guy - what likely happened is you never put your ads on vacation, so someone responded to one of your ads and then got upset when you never logged on.

There weren't any canceled trades any time before that bad feedback. It makes no sense at all. I don't even remember ever creating an ad around or near that time frame.

How can they leave feedback without opening a trade first? And you need an ad to open trade, either theirs or yours.

It has to be someone who opened a trade who knows how long ago and decided to blackmail me. First he posted pay me .1 btc for making me lose money to address and i will delete this. Then LBC made him change it, so he just changed it to costed me $. The funny thing is, there was not a single trade opened by me or by another within 20 days of that post. And it couldn't have been the last several ppl i've dealt with, because they were all honorable/reputable ppl. |
