RE: I Got Scammed Out of $6,300 on Local Bitcoins By Username: drevoh
Sorry to hear this. I was on Local Bitcoins back in August and I wasn’t sure what was going on and it didn’t seem right. Before I sent any payment the guy said his bank account had stopped receiving transfers and it would take a while to confirm the payment, this confirmed my suspicions and alarm bells started ringing. We were running out of time to complete the transaction while this was going on.
Thanks.. What annoys me the most is that I had already suspected that I was getting scammed when I only made the first payment (which was half of the money). His perfect rating on the site with many transactions fooled me into giving him the benefit of the doubt. And he kept in contact with me so I figured he was most likely legit.
How on earth did he get a perfect rating? Perhaps he played it straight to being with, so he could hit somebody with the big one.
I think so. People also mentioned the possibility that his account was sold or hacked.
