Can we please all get together and do something about Deepak Chawla ?
I mailed subvolatil a few days ago but haven't heard back. Lets do it for the sake of Indian bitcoin community.
Would love to see the look on his face when he is caught

Once bitcoin has some kind of moderation / legal standing in India, only then can scammers like Deepak Chawla be put to rest, because then the cops and courts would take the matter more seriously. Right now bitcoin is considered play money. This guy has been scamming for years now without any action being taken against him.

Mobile number of this new fraud is: +91 9874941221 > Name: Shaksham (as he claims) He contacted me on Whatsapp and collected my ICICI bank details. After 20 minutes, he sent me a screenshot of payment Rs.164000/-, which is transferred to my bank account. Everything was perfect with the screenshot also. Within seconds I got an sms from icici bank saying my account is credited 164000 INR. Immediately copied his wallet address as I promised him instant transaction, and proceeded with bitcoin payment. Suddenly. I took a pause. How can he send IMPS payment from ICICI to ICICI? Because in the sms IMPS reference number was clearly mentioned. Take a look at the pic below. http://prntscr.com/fkx14zI logged into my netbanking account. Buh! Nothing was there. The sms was sent from some other website. Lucky I am. Would have lost 0.84 btc, in a matter of seconds. Lesson: Always login to your netbanking account for confirming a payment receipt. Never trust the sms you receive. Beware of these frauds guys. Safe trading. Regards, Dizz |

Hmm seems like a serious problem and top of that, Localbitcoin's customer service is fumbling lately. I trade there and on Paxful as well. A bit disappointing if they cannot put him away.  |

Instead of it why don't people just go for any other any option instead of getting scam from this tour of people's.
Just find alternate ways to buy and sell bitcoins out change your wallet to other good one.

So here's another scammer found on Paxful https://paxful.com/user/Robert5426His real name is Mohammad Atif Khan. I paid him 81100 (81000 + 100) on July 28th 2017 to buy bitcoins, at that time the rate was around 170,000 INR / btc, he told me he is going to give me at 160,000 rate but the minimum i have to buy is 0.5 btc. I paid him in his following DBS Bank Account Name : MOHAMMAD ATIF KHAN Acct Number : 881001649985 Bank IFSC : DBSS0IN0811 MMID : 9641318 Mobile: 8392977716 Then he said, he will give it after 1.5 hrs, after 1.5 hrs he said his khalu (uncle) has expired and he has to leave office immediately. Then on next day, he said his manager will contact me regarding the refund, and said they will return me 81100 + 200 (comphensation). They asked for my DBS bank details, i gave them, but for no luck, then he asked for my alternative bank account as there was some problem at their side to transfer from their SBI account. So i gave them my SBI account details on Saturday, 29th July 2017, His manager said they have initiated an NEFT and it should arrive on Monday 31st July 2017, but it never arrived in my bank, Then when i called him again on tuesday his manager picked up and said the guy Atif Khan has not yet returned from the funeral and will return the next day. After that the next day his mobile got switched off, I got three of his numbers and all of them were switched off. His numbers are:: 8392977716 9634112552 8755334633 I then messeged him on paxful on previous trades, but he never replied, i sent him numerous msg on whatsapp but he never replied. Can anyone here help me get my money back from this scammer? I am attaching all the screenshots of the payment and chat over here. https://prnt.sc/g5gwhvhttps://prntscr.com/g5gwdehttps://prntscr.com/g5gw9zhttps://prntscr.com/g5gw67https://prntscr.com/g5gw3fhttps://prntscr.com/g5gvzd |

A good news to all Deepak Chawla haters!! "In a first for city, Bitcoin trader nabbed for fraud Sep 24, 2017, 11:45 IST BHOPAL: In what could be the first arrest related to Bitcoin, cyber cell on Saturday nabbed a Delhi-based alleged Bitcoin trader who has duped several victims across the country in name of exchanging their money to Bitcoin. The accused who is said to be into this trade for the past seven years allegedly indulged in hawala transactions during demonetisation. He allegedly used to contact the victims through WhatsApp and after finalising the deal asked them to deposit money in his bank account. On receiving the money, he used to change his number. One Bitcoin is equal to around Rs 2.5 lakh. It was around Rs 4500 in 2013. SP (cyber-cell) Shailendra Singh Chouhan said that the accused was nabbed following a complaint filed by Shubham Jain, resident of Airport Road, Lalghati, against the accused around eight months ago. Jain claimed that he registered himself on an online website localbitcoins.com on which Bitcoins are traded between buyers and sellers. After the registration, a person who introduced himself as Abhishek Kumar contacted him on his mobile through WhatsApp. Both finalised a deal and Jain deposited Rs 25,000 in his account for Bitcoins. Subsequently, the accused switched off his number. Police registered a case on his complaint. During investigations it came to light that the accused Deepak Chawla, 37, a resident of New Delhi who is a graduate from Delhi University, had committed the fraud with Jain. A police team was sent to Delhi and the accused was nabbed. During interrogation, he told police that he himself became a victim of fraud in a similar manner seven years ago and adopted the same modus operandi to dupe others. He registered himself on the localbitcoins.com website and his id was 'btcltc'. He used to contact the user registered on site through WhatsApp chat and fraudulently got money deposited into his account. He said that when the Union government imposed withdrawing limit from bank accounts during demonetisation he earned as much as Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per day by helping people indulging in hawala transactions. He got crores of rupees invested in Bitcoins through such persons. SP Chouhan said that police had to struggle hard to arrest the accused as his family has affixed a board outside their house claiming that they have disowned Deepak. Police later found it was false and the family was supporting him. Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system called the first decentralised digital currency, since the system works without a central repository or single administrator. It was invented by an unknown programmer, or a group of programmers, under the name Satoshi Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009. The system is peer-to-peer, and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain."

I was also scammed by localbitcoin user jac197233
He said he has given funds 194000 to LBC and once you release BTC, LBC will release funds to you, initially i did not believe this and I raised a support ticket and told him that I have raised a support ticket and will wait for there reply. That guy spoofed the email and he sends an email that appears to be coming from no-reply.... what we generally get from localbitcoin. The email asked me to release btc so I released BTC, but never received any funds.
That guy also spoofed the call (call appears to be coming from a number but when i dial back someelse speaks up) claiming to be support from LBC to make the case strong.
I was foolish enough to loos .6 btc (400000Rs/BTC).
I cyber police declined to register a complaint saying that bitcoin is neither legel nor illegal so they cannot take complaint.

Wow. That should've hurt. And here you're the seller and don't even have the other guy's bank details. It will be tough to track the user down. Only LBC support can help, and I doubt they can do much about it too. |

There is a so many way to scam in localbitcoins, even you can get payment from hacked accounts, it's happened with me too once. That's why I avoided fully localbitcoins trader who is not very trusted. |
