These scammers Localbitcoins stole my money

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Feb 28, 2024
I had .0088 bitcoins equaling $560 on local bitcoins. And before they were shutting down I tried to withdraw my money to transfer it to my Robinhood account. And it wouldn't allow me to do it. Then they shut down and stole my money purposely. Either they refund me my money or see me in court. And they're non existent on The Better Business Bureau.

Last Btc sending

Hello. I got a link from you where kag could withdraw my last Btc from you. But when I was going to do this, it said it didn't work. and now I can't access the page anymore. What do I do now? What happened was that I was going to withdraw my last BTC because Local bitcoins is going to shut down their site. I entered an address and added everything I had left to the account. Then it just said that it had not been sent and that there was something wrong. Then my account was deleted so I can't even log in to Local bitcoins anymore to try to withdraw them again. Etc. Johan

Cant get my money

I had used LocalBitcoins wallet to cash out from my Party poker account, because the banks in Nicaragua would not accept the money from that account. I would cash out from PP to Skrill, then buy bitcoins via Skrill, then sell them to other clients via Zelle to my US account. I have Over $400 worth of bitcoin now stuck in that account I can not get. Now they want all this information I do not have. I am not an investor, or a regular trader. Why cant I just transfer the bitcoin to a different location. It is my money.

Not retrieving a transaction

When they do not accept USD, why the allowed the transaction to be proceeded at the first place. That’s a way to steal it right?

Updated by user Jul 23, 2020

The transaction hasn’t shown in my wallet. I contacted the help service after 24 hours, first they replied your transaction was less than an amount allowed in the platform.

I replied they are mistaken as it was around $185. Again it took them more than 10 hours to reply that because the transaction was from USD to bitcoins it is impossible to retrieve the transaction and add on to that I should be more careful next time.

Original review Jul 23, 2020
It has been 185 USDT sent to my wallet, it can not not be retrieved because it was not bitcoins, the platform should cancel a transaction which is not acceptable by it not stealing it.

My Life’s my Testimony. I put all my retirement money into Bitcoin and I lost all to Binary scams. I tried for so long to recover but Bitcoin is untraceable and makes it harder. I was fortunate enough to meet cyber, They Recovered my Last Dime and saved me from suicide. They’re the best in the Game with all *** related issues and also mining of bitcoin .
