I got a text. He introduced himself as Yash. Whatsapp'd me from the same number and asked for my email ID. Which I gave. Then they asked for last 3 BTC transactions and balance in my localbitcoin wallet. So I realised that something was fishy and transferred most of my balance out of localbitcoins.com. And guess what? My localbitcoin.com balance is now 0!! He took whatever little bit was left. I'm shocked cause all I gave him was my email ID. (I didn't get any email / click on any link, turn off my anti-virus etc) And I  have 2 factor authentication on for any transactions!

Luckily I was quick to move my BTC to other wallets, so I hardly lost 50-100 INR. I suggest you don't keep too much in localbitcoins.

Any knows how this was possible?
