The problem is that no one sees this thread being new to the bitcoin scene. I remember that when I first got into trading with bitcoin , I had him contact me as a local bitcoin representative. Even though it was really obvious as he told me his email was something like
localbitcoins@gmail.com . Seeing the gmail there made it obvious he was trying to con me.
Well many of us may ignore the fact, but the main problem lies in local traders also.
Very less of them are supportive or co-operative.....and thats a real fact.
And now those who are generally new seems always in hurry
so ultimately they fall victims to such scammers.....
