We want to inform the Binance community about a recent P2P (Peer-to-Peer) crypto scam to help everyone stay vigilant and safeguard their assets.
Recently, I engaged in a P2P trade, selling 749 $USDT (equivalent to approximately 114,023.88
$BTC ). The buyer appeared genuine, completing what seemed like a legitimate bank transfer. Upon confirming the payment, I released the crypto. However, just a few hours later, I discovered my bank account had been frozen. It turned out that the buyer had filed a false fraud claim, claiming they never authorized the transactionāan outright lie.
This incident was a calculated scam:
- The scammer first trusts you by making a convincing payment.
- After you release the crypto, they quickly report the transaction as unauthorized.
- As a result, your bank freezes your account, leaving you without your funds or crypto.
This scam isnāt just theftāitās a serious form of financial fraud and cybercrime. The scammer behind this is a professional who uses such tactics to deceive and trap P2P traders.
Iām sharing this experience to alert others: always verify transactions carefully, stay cautious, and report any suspicious activity to the platform and authorities.
Protect yourself and help prevent these scams in the crypto community!
