[ANN] LocalBitcoins.com - a location-based bitcoin to cash marketplace

Why would you want to contact the lawyer for such a small amount. You won't be getting a lot of money even if you win the case. Instead, post a scam accusation on the thread with all the proof and messages exchanged. It might not be the justice you are looking for, and they probably won't care much about the reputation on the forum either, but they will definitely not want a scam accusation incase someone googles their name.

Ok great I am not even involved in your half arsed attempt to do a trade on localbitcoin and now I am the scammer?

You are the one who botched up the trade because you made a bad choice in email address and you blame lc for it. Now you blame me for pointing it out.

You posted various rants towards the original seller and lc making various claims. You threathend to sue them too.

Are you now surprised they are carefully looking into your identity?

Dont blame lc for your hissy fit

They clearly do mention on the site that addresses older than 30 days may not be active, and it isn't necessary that you will be able to get your coins sent to those addresses. I believe this has to do with the backups they have for private keys. Since it was your fault on sending it to such an address, it doesn't make it a scam company. They can't refund you out of their own pockets, if they don't have access to those keys any longer.

Why has the fees on localbitcoins gone so high recently ? I was charged 0.0008 for a transaction, thats almost like a dollar. Even the blockchain it shows such a big fees for no reason.

[erpbridge]

Why is it that you made changes to the gree icon which used to show last seen time for a seller ?

Typically replies within, is so not needed. I want to know if seller is online and he can do the trade now. Now I have to visit each ad, and see if the seller was online recently.


Please change it back to how it was.

Green circles are still there. But if you hovered your mouse on them, they used to show other information in the past. It was the last time the seller was online. But now it shows in how much time does he typically reply in, which is not useful.

agree, its irksome

Understood. Now I see what you mean. might be better to just open a support message with them on localbitcoins itself. I don't hate the current system as well because if they typically reply within an hour, they will reply within an hour right ?

[erpbridge]

Thats not always the case. Read my post from above. When I want to trade, sometimes its late at night, and I know all sellers are probably sleeping. So I look for the one who is around. Now I can't do that. I get my bitcoins blocked for 2 hours before trade automatically gets cancelled.

Does anyone use this website for cash transactions? I wonder about the chances of encountering an undercover agent who tries to get you for something with the site.

After I was arrested by homeland security the justice department was very interested in taking over my localbitcoins account.  As part of the plea deals they offered me they wanted the account so they could use it for undercover operations.

I am certain that many who are arrested will turn over their accounts as part of their plea deals.  I did not accept any plea deal so I never turned my account over to them, however I have not used it since the arrest since using the darn thing is what got me into trouble in the first place.

If I had never advertised on localbitcoins they would have never been able to claim what I was doing was a business and they would not have been able to arrest me for running a business without the proper license.

At least some localbitcoins account are run by federal agents, cooperating witnesses or undercover agents in local jurisdictions.  That is a fact.

Much of the evidence presented against me was from undercover operations where they video and audio taped me in a coffee shop doing a trade of BTC for cash or cash for BTC - all arranged through their accounts or cooperating witnesses on localbitcoins.

It is not illegal to use localbitcoins as a customer to buy or sell BTC.  Always assume you are dealing with an cop so be very careful what you say.  If they ask you what you are going to use the BTC for they may be trying to get you to admit you are going to use them for something illegal.

Advertising on localbitcoins is a whole other matter.  The US federal law enforcement can use the fact that you are advertising to claim you need a license.  That is what happened to me.  The whole thing cost me over $250,000 to clear my name and avoid going to prison.
