Losing funds to exchanges can be so disastrous. I was at the verge of losing 400,000$ worth of BTC to LocalBitcoin December last year when I invested all I had trading for bitcoin on LocalBitcoin with the intention of completing a transaction based on contract. The BTC got to my account, but when i tried to transfer to an other wallet, it denied my transfer request severally. i sent mails to them, they never replied any After several efforts to withdraw or transfer my funds, filing different reports to the security agencies, none of these worked out well for me not until last month when I discussed this with my trainer telling him all I had gone through, he immediately recommended a recovery expert he has dealt with [ Secured Recovery ], and that was my turning point. I sent mail to them at securedrecovery AT protonmail DOT com, in minutes they replied and requested for details in transaction, 370,000usd was recovered back into my account 3 days after I consulted them. I will only give my little advice to everyone out there having intention of buying any cryptocurency on LocalBitcoin and other scam like exchanges, most of them are only ready to steal and take all of our money till they get the last card on us. Be careful while investing your funds and take necessary decisions to recover your fund after been scammed.
