The peer-to-peer (P2P) landscape is unfortunately marred by a new form of fraud, more blatant and more disconcerting than ever.
In my country, we favor mobile money payment services for purchasing cryptos, because bank transfers and bank cards are not yet integrated. However, my recent transaction with a merchant turned into a nightmare: after finalizing the sale, he demanded the release of funds without making payment. Faced with my call, the merchant remained silent. Strictly following the required procedure, I sent videos demonstrating the transaction as requested.
Am I doomed to lose my money if I don't have the bank's service application? Fraudsters skillfully exploit this loophole, knowing that many members of our African community cannot provide proof related to the use of a bank account application. I emphasize again: in our country, banking transactions are not commonplace. đ€ŠđŸââïž
This deceptive process wastes valuable time. Having to urgently send money to a loved one, I found myself blocked because of an unscrupulous scammer.
It took the help of my sister Binance Angel @Chibiguardians who had sent me USDT while the dispute was resolved đ đ«Ą
This situation requires both a thorough review of security and user protection policies in the P2P domain, as well as community education and awareness on steps to take to avoid such devious traps.
1ïžâŁ If you are a seller, never release the asset until you have received your funds.
2ïžâŁ If you are a buyer then the risk is very great, take screenshots of each step of your transactions because this will remain your only solution in the event of disputes.
Scammers always find a way to commit mischief, so be very careful.
âđŸ According to my experience, Binance P2P remains the best platform with the best prices and the security and protection of its users, some malicious people by their attitude want to dirty this beautiful platform but I have confidence in the functioning of Binance. it is enough to report the acts of fraud that occur.
Please note that I was correct and my funds were returned to me. As for the scammer, Binance will take disciplinary action against him.
đ And you, tell me if you have had such adventures?
