Where was this deal or transaction made? I'm assuming it was not on the forum here otherwise we would have seen you post their profile name by now.
localbitcoins.. but well.. what does it help to talk about that. i just feel like shit now... and very disappointed.
thank you guys for all your help!
Ok you posted address. Who was person who gave you wrong address? Do you know who own's wrong address?
Those are two important questions. You keep giving part of info. If you have time to do a good post with all info it will be a lot better.
I'd mark them as untrustworthy and report them on localbitcoins. Always check the feedback score. I've done a few transactions on there with reputable sellers/buyers and never had a problem.
Also, depending on the method of purchase through localbitcoins and the instructions given you can insulate yourself from scam a bit. Such as verifying the deposit of cash to your account, getting the standard "no refunds" written on the bank receipt, etc
