LocalBitcoins - Abuse & Silencing Customers

LocalBitcoins - Abuse & Silencing Customers

LocalBitcoins is now silencing customers who speak out against them.

Recently, I tried to leave feedback to someone, only to realise LocalBitcoins has removed my ability to do so.

LocalBitcoins will revoke the ability to leave feedback to anyone found criticising them. If you use LocalBitcoins and have a bad transaction, they will use their ability to silence you. I advise anyone who uses LocalBitcoins to avoid the platform at all costs.

Furthermore LocalBitcoins' support is terrible. Their site is going downhill and it's only a matter of time before the platform dies out. I would recommend using alternative platforms such as Paxful/Bisq or to wait for a new P2P platform to come out. LocalBitcoins is starting to die out. They have a suggestion thread on their subreddit however, that thread was simply made to make them look as if they were doing something. LocalBitcoins has not taken any of the suggestions into account. Their support time is still ridiculous, people are still having problems with their accounts getting suspended and users are being forced to wait 14 days to get their Bitcoins back.

It's no surprise that what LocalBitcoins is doing is illegal. They cannot lock people's bitcoins for 14 days and in some cases even longer. LocalBitcoins has resorted to deception, fraud and blackmail. Anyone who is using LocalBitcoins can be forced out of their coins at any moment whenever LocalBitcoins feels like it.
