SCAM! NO REPUTATION, BE AWARE!

This company held my Bitcoin for almost 3 years now. They restricted my account and refused to let me withdraw my coins. It is so ridiculous engaging with this service.

I have done all they required, yet they kept ignoring.

Local bitcoins 100%

Please do your research and make smaller trades before doing anything big. Some ads are still showing as available but the seller/buyer may not be active. i've only had one bad experience but i was lucky enough to find a trusted buyer/seller who i use now :) such a good site
