@dizz , just curious that how does opening the trade on lbtc would not cause him to scam ? Couldn't he just send the payment through the other account there as well ?

Yes. Of course, thats also happening now. I just said that to that guy just to support my own side. Wink

There was an incident once: A trade was opened. ID verified, bank account verified, phone number, everything else done. The buyer paid 13K to my bank account. Released bitcoins almost instantly. Exactly 1hr after that trade a guy called me asked : "So when you are going to deliver my 'puppies'?"
He paid that money to someone in dubai to buy Golden retriever puppies. And I was introduced to him as the Indian agent who will be delivering puppies to the guy.

And you know, it is really very very difficult to make them understand the whole things what ever happened. First question what they will ask is "What is bitcoins?" If you can make them understand what it is then they will trust you. If you are not able to, then they are not gonna believe you so easily.

I remember I spoke to this guy for more than 2hrs on that day. Finally solved - An amicable settlement !!!

Wow, thats weird!! What was the settlement if you don't mind me asking? I still stick to my stand that these guys are con artists who probably rope in their friends to join them in trying to fool traders on Localbitcoins. They already know they will be sending from that particular account as that account is probably their friends account, then they get their friend to call you and say stuff like you mentioned above. That way they will pressure you into "Settling" and this settling almost always is a losing proposition for the trader and this gang goes ahead on to the next unsuspecting trader. Smells of Deepak Chawla to me again!
