Title: bad day ;(
Post by: escrow.ms on November 01, 2013, 02:53:42 PM
Many Selllers on localbitcoins are getting attacked by fraud buyers and there's no way to stop them. I never got problems but i released bitcoins by mistake to a new buyer due to same amount of transactions i got today. That asshole didn't even bothered to reply back. I have created support ticket etc but i doubt they are even going to reply soon.

Seriously feeling bad now as today is a festival  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhanteras)here, which is about wealth.

I am not sure why they allow people to buy bitcoins without even verifying email address.
Their phone verification system is also not working properly here in india so it's hard to track these kind of buyers.


Anyways how was your day?

Sorry to hear that.
This is why I prefer trading here with reputable members.
Well mostly overworked, tired.. been awake since 7am, and now hitting the GYM, and tonight going out to have fun. All in all not a too bad day here.  8)

Nice and goodluck for your night out man :)

What happens when an escrow makes a mistake?
Is he responsable for the loss?

Some trusted escrow do give back the loss. But most ran away..

Sorry you got ripped off, escrow.ms. It's risky business trying to exchange currencies, where there is a risk of chargebacks, or reversal.

Hopefully, you'll be able to recover your losses, and move on.

Yes, and no i wasn't doing escrow. I was selling my own coins on localbitcoins.com.
