If I hit that link I gets to http://yandt.com/uploads/cvv/login.htm


There am I not logined, while I am that in localbitcoins.

Anyone can send a mail from support@localbitcoins.com. U need to be careful while clicking the link, the link is of https://localbitcoins.com, NOT the link text. Be careful. This is a standard scam practice and there is no way to prevent it unless user is careful.
