You can work this out from here and making a thread requesting from an exchange. I get it that some people are not comfortable with because there is a risk that the information might be misused but still doesn't makes them working out with scammer as they also have legit reasons to protect those traders.
BTW there are many traders also usually who doesn't asks for some sort of verification in LBC. I find such traders a lot in my region not sure if you have such in yours.
