Thanks, I've already spoken to my bank. There's nothing they can tell me until they've investigated. I've read horror stories online of this happening to people and them losing everything. I'm very worried.

Hi guys

A few years ago I bought a few bitcoins in the hope their price rose. It did.

Recently, I had a few financial hiccups... and thought I'd cash this "nest egg" in. I had about £8k!

So I started trading casually on LocalBitcoins, hoping to bump up my capital a little bit by buying low and selling a little higher. It worked until last night when my entire bank account got frozen/suspended, because of one user who send suspected fraudulent transactions to my account.

I'm very worried. This is all the money I have in the world, and if I lose this, I'm out for the count.

Does anybody have any experience of this? What might happen next? Any advice? Am I likely to regain access to my frozen funds?
