I was also scammed by localbitcoin user jac197233
He said he has given funds 194000 to LBC and once you release BTC, LBC will release funds to you, initially i did not believe this and I raised a support ticket and told him that I have raised a support ticket and will wait for there reply. That guy spoofed the email and he sends an email that appears to be coming from no-reply.... what we generally get from localbitcoin. The email asked me to release btc so I released BTC, but never received any funds.
That guy also spoofed the call (call appears to be coming from a number but when i dial back someelse speaks up) claiming to be support from LBC to make the case strong.
I was foolish enough to loos .6 btc (400000Rs/BTC).
I cyber police declined to register a complaint saying that bitcoin is neither legel nor illegal so they cannot take complaint.

Wow. That should've hurt. And here you're the seller and don't even have the other guy's bank details. It will be tough to track the user down. Only LBC support can help, and I doubt they can do much about it too.
