Beaware of this new scammer ( https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/SHIV4659/) and of his methods. This guy provides certain details on LBTC chat and then contacts you separately via phone or text giving u a completely new set of details to send the money to. If u fall for that.. He has a great opportunity to claim that he hasnt got the money on the account no. stated on LBTC and the buyer is just trying to trick him. There might be genuine cases as well where the seller might actually want the money on another bank details. For those please contact the seller and ask him to make it clear on localbitcoins chat..about what he wants you to do and then proceed with the trade.. |

Hi guys!
It's awesome that you share information regarding scammers here, but could you please also open up support tickets telling us about the scammers? This way we can also ban them from our platform. I go through this thread periodically to find the latest scammers, but it would be much faster if you guys could report them directly to us when you find someone who is acting suspicious.

Had the aadhar details, name matched his hdfc bank netbanking page screenshot. Everthing looked perfect. unfortunately the entire identity of that person had been stolen. scam still took place. |

Hi, everyone been hit 2 times today, but ip's based in the uk and us, asking to make payment to my hdfc account using a payment service called xoom. the first guy had only 1 trade, when i asked him for documents, was going round and round as to how good the payment service is, but did not provide any documents. asked him to cancel, as something seemed wrong. as soon as he cancelled, within 5 min someone with a us ip sent me a request, asking to transfer money via xoom.
havent traded, but just wanted to know, this looks suspicious. just though would give everyone a heads up. i could be wrong, though.

Yeah better to be safe than sorry! The fact that he changed VPN to convince you as another user should tell you that he was looking to scam you. Apparently Xoom is a paypal company, so i am guessing they support charge backs? If they do, that could have been his modus operandi! |

I trade on localbitcoins.. yeah there might be a few scammers..but the escrow takes care of it.. As long as u r doing bank transfers..everything should be fine.. since u release the money only once u get it into your account. If the trader is lying..u can dispute the trade and win it fairly. |

First want to clear that Bitcoin is anonymous currency so without trust or escrow must not have to made transaction. I don't remember name of guy but was saying he is from pune which near to my place but when I search for mobile location guy was from delhi !
I just stumbled. Second when I called to buy Bitcoins he reply me that if you are new then must have to buy 1 bitcoin at least. I stumbled again when he told me to send amount directly to bank account.
Now I get confirm smoke of scamming. I made a call to guy and ask few more about Pune and hi job he just start to impressing me.
I am bla bla bla bla....
I simply tell him to meet me personally in pune. and put my phone down and still waiting for date & time of appointment. I even observe that more than selling, scam is happening in buying.

In such cases there was not big deal to find that man personally and cover all expensive by penalizing him to return paid amount and other charge as of harassment, efforts and money spend to reach to guy also file FIR near to his location. |

Hey guys, beware of trading on LBC using PayTM/Free Charge and especially MobiKwik. These company have non-existent security features and there are several of these wallet users complaining of hacked accounts/ etc. And their customer service is pathetic. IDK how they are allowed to operate as a psuedo-bank financial service yet provide zero (I REPEAT BIG ZERO) when it comes to customer service. Mobikwik guys cannot even speak English properly. Mobikwik does not even need a OTP to send money. Just login on APP with mobile number password and send money. I hope they atleast implement it now. Shameful really...  Modus operandi on LBC seems to be 1. Fraudster hacks unsuspecting user's PayTM/Mobikwik account. 2. Fraudster goes to LBC and finds users selling BTC for these APP wallet trades. 3. Places trade and transfers money to seller's wallet app. 4. BTC is released. This is repeated quickly even 3-4 times a day if these fraudsters can. In 2 or 3 days, the wallet's actual user finds out the balance is missing and makes a complaint with the wallet app. Their immediate response is to completely block the all accounts to which money has been sent. So basically you have sent BTC but now your wallet which received money is stuck as blocked, and there is no way to unblock it (well, you literally have to spend hours for this, send them ID proof/bank statement/ blah blah so it is a complete PIA and still no guarantee that it will be unlocked) TIPS: If you really have to trade via this, make sure it is from a very reputable user having 100's of trades and to be completely safe, take a bank account statement of the person who sent you money. The bank account statement should show the transactions which added money to their PayTM or other wallet apps |

Thanks for the tip, while I haven't ever traded with Paytm or Mobiwik, I have never been aware of this as a trader. Instead of posting this here, you might want to post it on the Home section of Local board for India.
