Confirm yourself as a localbitcoins command, or is it a scam?
LBC is a platform focused just on Bitcoin and not random shitcoins. Considering that OP is supportive of shitcoins it's safe to say that he isn't part of them at all. The different philosophies don't match.
I can't say whether it is a scam or not, but they started off bad claiming to be a group they with a very high probability aren't. Just be yourself--if the service you're offering is useful people will use it regardless of who you are.
I don't even think it's worth using "we are part of the LBC development team" as selling point, because the majority of the people have no clue who they are and what they have done so far.
