Over the years I have grown accustomed to ignoring these asshole phishers! Angry
I'm so paranoid that sometimes I even call people to verify that they have sent me an email. Cheesy

Actually this kind of fake mails are so frequent, and I have spent so much time in the online business schemes that I am almost immune to these evident scams. It would be needed to be very naive to fall in these frauds.

I wonder how they got this email because i only created it to signup on localbitcoins.com and 100% not used it on other websites

Does localbtcoins.com maybe sell email list's ?

no but some other service could use your email and resell it... did you use this email only here? or you post for example here on forum?
I am not surprise if there is any bot created ad hoc to assembly email

Pff that was too obvious and not new at all. They send this kind of emails for years. If you are aware of your bills there is nothing you should be afraid of. Just report them junk and gmail will take care of the rest.
