Did someone hack LocalCryptos or what?
Nobody hacked them, but I heard that some government agencies infiltrated that website and created one or more accounts so I suspect they are under some investigation including all people who trade there.
They created account called
Mr.Coins and it turned out it was controlled by IRS for catching small fish who avoid paying taxes or who knows what... it's really pathetic, but LC don't have kyc so something like this is expected.
They even built 100% positive feedback and traded around $200,000 with 50 trades, so I would be extra careful trading from United States and suspect in everyone now.
Maybe your incident is related with this event, so I would follow instructions that OmegaStarScream gave you in previous post and withdraw coins with other wallet.

Don't think that you can avoid tax obligations through these p2p sites. Deal with caution and care, don't ever reveal your identity, and try to use anonymous fiat payment methods when possible.
Imagine if this was a fraudster instead of the IRS who is just collecting personal info and onselling it.
