If you don't mind me asking - how, exactly, did he supposedly scam you? I'm just curious and wouldn't mind doing a little digging for you, but your scam accusation seems a bit vague - it isn't exactly convincing, considering that you mention it was on LBC, especially when you consider the fact that LBC trades use escrow.. depending on whether you were buying or selling BTC, you would've had to either manually release BTC from escrow after receiving payment or mark that you paid, which would lock the BTC you would've been buying from them in escrow - until they were to manually release or a moderator were to get involved and release - in the case where they refuse to release/never released and disappeared.

Very truly said. Scamming on LBC seems a bit difficult to accept. OP should provide some details.

this is what happened if your not using escrow,$3000 is enough amount of transaction to provide an escrow service that will keep you both safe..now here you are crying for help but you didnt think about this earlier

First of all, please move your thread to scam accusation board. Services is not the appropriate board.

How do you get scammed?
LBC has an escrow system to keep you safe from scammers.
Is that the scammer from your place? If yes then good, but if not then what is the use of contact info?

You just paid $3000 to learn a lesson :o An expensive lesson....  ::)

I don't understand why people cry over something they can avoid by all means necessary. LBC even the rate of scam is on the increase there, they have a system in place that if followed completely there is lite chance of falling victim but Op might have allowed himself to have been deceived to circumvent some of the rules because of reasons best known to the scammer.

There was a thread about this sometimes ago where comments and suggestions were raised about how to stay safe on LBC but that what people don't read until they are the next victim now you have to incur more amount to do the right thing. Let's even agree you found him and you are on the other side of the world the cost of meeting him along is on the high side and you are not sure he will be able to pay you, what exactly would you do?
