Be aware of the scam company Localbitcoins and their scammers like Sara Leppänen.
What happen to me I did not logged in for a long time and then LBC put me in a holiday modus and dont activate my account again.

How to get all information about the owners of that scam company, for example Sara Leppänen is it possible to find our her ID?

Thanks in advance.

How much was in the account at the time it was locked?

Did you try to talk to support? What did they tell you?

You think her ID is just on public display for you to access at any time you want? So if you got her ID, what's your plan? Does it help you get back the locked account?

Hey mate, where are your proofs of this accusations you are putting forth against her. No tangible evidence, no facts, no figure, nothing to show that you got as per your claims. No what do you want is to do here. It seems you are a member here but hiding under new bie account to accuse some one without any evidence to prove your point. Sometimes you guys just members not to pick interest in all these because of the way and manner you complaint without any backup of evidence. It makes members to believe most of the complaints are paid stunts just to blackmail and tarnish the name and reputation of casinos and individuals indiscriminately.
As far as I am concerned, this complaints holds no water as it lacks merits to make proof.

Dude Before make scam accusations please contact their support team first and then give couple of proof screenshot or anything that can prove you been scammer instead share of evidence you just send

The picture of who  

According Goggle the CEO of Localbitcoin is Sebastian Sonntag

It was reported on different crypto news publishers that localbitcoins.com have already announced their closure on February 16, 2023 and onwards will be the time for those users that still have got funds left to withdraw.

You can easily google them and the name that will appear is different from what you've mentioned and that was said by dansus. I think that you've landed on a wrong domain and website and that's like a phishing and copycat of localbitcoins.

For more info visit their service closure announcement through their official website: https://localbitcoins.com/service_closure/

Doxxing is generally frowned upon, it’s very unlikely someone would help you with that. In some cases, it could even land you in trouble. What do you even plan to do with this information lol.

Just go through the proper process op - reach out to LBC and relevant authorities. Posting your story in crypto communities should be fine but make sure they’re concise with supporting evidences otherwise it’s likely to get ignored.

I suspect you to be paid by the fraud company localbitcoins. If you observer their comments they are so many complains, but they delete it very soon ,thats why its hard to see these comments but you see that they have only a few comments - just because most comments are complains.

If I upload proofs I reveal my ID, what is dangerous. I got scamemd a huge amount of money. Localbitcoins has disabled my the withdrawal of my Bitcoins. Thats why the stop operating, they scamemd too many people already.

Tell us, how are we supposed to believe your story without any form of evidence provided here?

You even failed to simply answer what I asked you about your locked account
Yes, now you may also call me an employee of Localbitcoins

This is a very big accusation, Mr Andras, can you prove that he is paid by localbitcoins?

as far as I know localbitcoins has closed its doors, hasn't scammed anyone and there is an announcement visible on their site where they specify that the funds are available for withdrawal but you can no longer trade and use their wallet, you have 12 months of time for you to withdraw your funds. before saying it's a scam, it's better to inform yourself, ask support on how to get your funds back if they are "blocked". let us know how it turns out

[Usdt2023]

They are not scam they paid me the balance I have there

[CYBER_COWBOY]

They are not scam they paid me the balance I have there

Just because you got your 20$ does not mean they dont scam other people.

20$or 20000$ it's still money

[logfiles]

I lost around 9000$ there.

Its a crazy story.. they dont belive that me is me, I have done all verification process, i have also done an extra verification process + answer one hundred questions to them in support, I have only done ONE trade there when i bought btc of 9200$. No third party payment or anything.
They just refuse to co operate, i also told them if you dont let me do anything or get my BTC. Tell the seller that i bought BTC from to send back my money and refund his bitcoin, but no.
Whatever I say, whatever i upload. They just come up with new demans, time after time.
1. Upload ID and selfie holding up ID. - DONE
2. Upload ID and selfie holding up ID. put a note where it says that you bought BTC from Localbitcoin this time blablabla - DONE.
3. Tell us why you buy blabla - DONE.

I did everything they asked for, and they came back being so rude and said I did not co operate and just ignoring me.

Since then, my account has been locked cant do anything.

They say "Why are you lie to us? Since you dont co operate with us, your funds will be hold here"
I never had another account there before, I never did anything wrong nothing.
So basically they dont believe something I dont know what and thats it enough for them to hold funds, when they got littery zero proof of anything.
Its totally insane, they ignoring all kind of discussion or anything, really semi psychopats.
This kind of people like this is the people you wish you meet IRL.

They saw a chance to keep 9K and took it.. its insane.

But karma did catch them in the end. Lucky it only was 9K and not any bigger amount.

After all this, and you never even created a scam accusation?

You think we are just going to believe what you typed without any proof that you were "scammed"?
I think you have been here long enough to know how scam accusations are made/posted.

Why would I lie about a thing like this? And to be honest my friend what other believe or not is nothing I care about.
I dont have time to spend time to make a post about it. I just saw somebody talk about this and I shared my experience.

But I deleted the post to make you happy.

Enjoy your saturday.

Maybe because you haven't logged in for a long time, your account has been frozen or deleted, Localbitcoins has announced the termination of its service, but you still have time to withdraw your coins before February 16, 2024.
According to the announcement on the site:

Is LocalBitcoins insolvent?

No. All customers who don't have any outstanding issues regarding their account are able to withdraw their bitcoins immediately. In case you are facing difficulties with withdrawing your BTC, our customer support team is here to help.
https://localbitcoins.com/support/

Personally, I did not try the site myself, but it had a very good reputation. There are many people who bought and sold bitcoin through the site, and I did not hear any scam during that long period.

Sharing your experience is OK, but you need to add extra proof to make your accusation legitimate

Everything you do here is not for my happiness. I was simply advising you. Just in case you are not aware. i have even not been localbitcoins fan and user ever since they introduced KYC.

...
because you got your 20$ does not mean they dont scam other people.

They can STILL scam other people even that them pay out your 20$.
Just because you got 20$ does not give you the right to call them scammers or not scammers.
Its a typical exit scam behaviour, be honest to all small traders and then scam the big traders. not everyone, but enough to make a big profit, then run away and hide.

Yes its an exit scam, Localbitcoins got very bad reputation these years, that's why they need to shot down. They are spending a lot of money to hire costumer support to delete all the negative comments.

What I also find funny is, that some people here tell me I should contact the costumer support. - Of course I did it but these scammers reject to tun off my holiday mode.  And no I am not a criminal. My BTC I deposit was clean and NO I did not any trade after that. And Yes I am stupid, because I transferred my BTC on an online wallet(not your keys not your wallet).

I dont NEED to add anything just to satisfy other people.
