Calm down bruh, nobody is attacking you in the way you see it I stated that I was also attacked in another thread (opened by another user), if you check in the other thread there's a guy picking op on anyone who is complaining about LCB. you are just being pointed to your mistakes of leaving your money in an exchange, This is always a mistake. Not in mine. In my case, back in the time, I withdraw as much as I could. I was unable to withdraw 0.0071 BTC because I got a limit error. That means that LocalBitcoins wanted an higher balance to withdraw and when I log in and tried to withdraw my 0.0071 BTC I got an insufficient balance error (more or less, I don't remember the exact error). In 2023, LCB is denying this problem. Maybe I encountered a bug, I don't know, but I assure you that I was technically unable to withdraw those funds back in 2019. Bear in mind that the 0.0071 was about 20 or 25 USD in 2019, so you understand that I was not so inspired to make a lot of complaints for 20 bucks... see it as a correction and lesson, trade with decentralized p2p exchanges: https://kycnot.me/, and after you are done trading, move your funds into your self custody wallet like: Dude, I already know electrum, even the website kycnotme. Unfortunately this was not helpful because I encountered a shady Exchanger and a series of unfortunate circumstances, explained above. They are scamming me through loopholes. Trusting that I do not hire a lawyer because the hourly fees will be much higher than my current balance. Still a shady scam. I'm also wondering about all the inactive accounts that holds some balance... back in the time few bucks, now several hundred or thousands of dollars because of BTC appreciation. They are pocketing everything in a "legal" way in just 12 months since you have 1 year to withdraw. |

It's interesting to notice that: A guy, without KYC, is complaining against the exchanger "the rock trading" (which is now closed), he had an account with no KYC and wanted to withdraw 40000€. People here in Bitcointalk support him: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4975753.0Now, if you complain against Localbitcoins, with an account fully verified and you want to get your 0.0071 BTC (less than 200 USD) refunded, more than one bitcointalk user pop up to attack you. I was also deeply attacked in another thread because I politely complained against LCB. |

You agreed with the terms of service while joining the site. I accepted the terms and did the usual full identity verification. Maybe it's not clear. And the TOS exactly say, they can change the rules and if you don't agree, leave it, otherwise it means you accept the contract between you and Localbitcoins. I'm trying to leave and bring back my leftover. They refuse. You didn't, because of what you call a "bug" but if you really wanted you could follow their rules and transfer out your coins. No. I could not. The problem is that the system refused to let me withdraw my coin because it said that the balance was not enough (I suppose that the balance was less than 25 USD). Now that my balance is interesting, I'm just trying to get back my coins. They even refused to refund the original address. Bear in mind that I noticed other people complaining and they were attacked, like me, by people like you. I don't know if you ever used them, when they change Terms or Policy you need to "accept" by clicking on the new Terms. I never click on "accept". I just opened a topic and said that it's true, they are acting shady. They deserve the worst. Whycomplaining about a site that tells you they can do whatever they want with your coins [/quote] Why complaining about me complaining about a shady exchanger? I don't understand your point. Besides, when I joined LCB they had a much more acceptable Term of Service. |

Yes you're right, but if you don't care about other's opinion, then you shouldn't post your story on a public forum. I dont' care about YOUR silly opinion. You are a troll and a shiller. Maybe not a LCB shiller, but for sure a paid shiller for " Sherbet.com". You claim it is "The #1 Social Casino & Sportsbook" and you included the logo and the links of this website all over your profile. I've worked for the 2 biggest CEX and am actually working on European cryptos regulations. I can confirm For sure. 2 biggest unnamed CEX. Probably you never head about XMR (Monero) or other means to launder coins. Weeks is nothing when you are talking with a closing company, especially in the crypto area. Weeks is nothing, I disagree. I think that weeks are enough to bring the matter publicly. If you are talking to them like you talk to me, I think they will appreciate the fact of giving you difficulties before returning your funds. Some customer support agents doesn't appreciate mono-maniacs and aggressive customers. Dumbass. You are the first one that you are patronizing, trolling and insulting (now even insults like "mono-maniacs") people here and acting as a victim after your attacks. My complaint against LCB was described in a very calm manner. Your trollish and provocative comments against me (ad hominem) deserved to be deleted, at least. Now go shilling elsewhere, you are embarrassing your shilling company "Sherbet.com". |

Sadly, this is how most exchanges operate. They can ask you to verify your identity at any moment, even if you've done it before. If you refuse to comply, they will keep the bitcoins. I can't tell for sure since I haven't been using the platform, but it looks like they implemented a new system in 2019 and also expanded their partnership with Onfido (identity verification provider) in 2020 and that's why they're asking you to verify your identity again[1]. [1] https://localbitcoins.com/blog/?page=2That's correct. Unfortunately, they rely on the fact that if I lawyer up I'm going to pay much more than 200 USD (the current balance). I The problem is that I never accepted their new policies (implemented in 2019) and I recently asked them, for weeks, for a BTC refund to my original address. That was denied and this LocalBitcoins position is unacceptable. I had an outstanding LCB profile, with positive feedback only. I only deposited BTC and never FIAT. I read about many people stuck in similar situations. |

I don't think that after so many years of good and loyal service Localbitcoin is a scam company.
I looked at the topic you opened, you didn't provide any real evidence
What do you think holds absolutely no weight to the matter. It's just your opinion. I don't deny in any way that you are having problems with them, but I think you have to be patient. They are currently understaffed because as everyone knows, they are stopping down their business. Ridiculous. I have to be patient? You sound silly and patronizing. I wasted my time for weeks with their useless support before bringing this matter to the public. You sound like an incredible satisfied customer or a paid shiller. I don't think a company that is regulated in the EU and operates with the necessary licenses can really do an exit scam. Consequences would be crazy for them, and everyone is able to find them physically if they really want to. You can create as many alts as you want, I think it will take strong and irrefutable evidence to get the community to accept that Localbitcoin are scammers. Consequences would be crazy? You are silly or naive. I suppose you must be new in the Crypto scene? Or just a paid shill? MTGox was regulated and everyone was able to find Mark Karpeles physically. No one hurted him. Cmon, don't bring silly arguments. Have you had any recent feedback from them? Why go straight to the point of screaming scam like that? It won't get you your money back. I honestly think that if there was a Localbitcoin’s exit scam, we would have hundreds/thousands of feedbacks in that direction. For the moment we can't say that there are many...
I'm not screaming anything. I bring the matter to the public: LocalBitcoins.com is doing anything in their power to scam my funds. Recent feedback? This morning, after weeks of being fooled around with their useless support. I also linked them my thread. In any case, I wish you good luck with the recovery of your funds, I'm sure you'll get them back one day if you haven't done anything shady with them You are ridiculous to imply that if I don't got my money back must be that I did something shady. This is an idiotic statement. You should be ashamed of yourself to attack the victims of this scummy company. |

Hello,
I am another victim of LocalBitcoins.com Exit Scam.
They are now closing forever but they are doing anything in their power to deny BTC withdrawal, including the "neverending KYC Scam" tactic.
I have a legit and verified (with ID) account with them, but they say it's not enough and they even refused to refund my bitcoins to the original address.
I read many complaints about them.
I wrote to their regulator, I'm unsure about the outcome since the LocalBitcoins.com support is completely useless and they are already closing, so they could not care less about their reputation.

Hello,
I am a victim of the LocalBitcoins.com Exit scam.
The behaviour is the same: the fraudulent exchanger, in this case LocalBitcoins.com, is implementing a never ending KYC request just to holding hostage the coins and keeping the bitcoin balance forever.
My experience:
I used this failed service, which is now closing, to deposit Bitcoins. I never bought bitcoins by bank wire or sketchy means.
My identity was completely verified on December 2018, by using a Governement Identity Card and so on.
I withdraw my Bitcoins on the first months of 2019: I was unable to withdraw a balance of 0.0071 BTC, because of a limit.
I don't know if this was a bug. By the way, I have currently a balance of 0.0071 BTC leftover on my LocalBitcoins.com account.
Now, in 2023, my bitcoin balance appreciate almost x10 and I would like to withdraw it. Moreover, LocalBitcoins.com is closing forever.
Surprise: I cannot! I need to get another verification tier, including a video verification.
This is crazy. Bear in mind that I never deposited a single cent in 3 years, so there's no reason to ask me for a new scrupolous verification.
They said that I accepted their new policies, which is not true at all.
I never accepted any new policies and even then, it's not a good reasons to refuse to refund my bitcoins.
I even asked them to send back my coins to the original address, they refused.
I read here and on reddit that I'm not the only victim. Beware of them, a real crappy and scammy company.
