I found this guy on local bitcoins named Nimesh he has a very good reputation there..! He called me on whatsapp and asked me to transcat directly via whatsapp to avoid fee.. first deal went smooth. After a month on second deal he shown his true colors.
I sent him 0.4 btc to his given address.

Then this guy started asking me different questions like show ID proof, show how you obtained the btc, show the source of btc and all. I sadly sent him all the details.

I know there is only a very small chance of getting this man where he deserves to be. But I'm willing to take that chance. Any support or guide will be appriciated from the community. I do have his bank details that he must have forged too. I dont get how someone can be so confident in scamming others.

Sad part is his reputation on LBC is around 100% he calls his clients and asks them to avoid lbc to save fee and transact directly via whatsapp. People will often fall for his deal. But he's seasoned scammer.
