Here's how you can avoid the same nightmare š
Back in February, my friend used Binance P2P to buy USDT.
Trade completed. UPI payment sent.
A few hours later ā the bank froze his entire account.
āYouāre under investigation for suspicious activity.ā
That was all the bank said.
Itās now June. The account is still frozen. No access. No resolution.
---
What went wrong?
The seller he paid was flagged for illegal activity.
Even though my friend was innocent, his payment got linked to the flagged account.
Guilty by association.
This can happen to anyone in India or Pakistan.
And once your account is frozen, the system doesnāt care.
