ā ļø I LOST $4,000 in a P2P SCAM š±šø ā READ THIS BEFORE YOUR NEXT TRADE
Iām sharing this with a heavy heart š ā but if it saves even ONE of you from falling into the same trap, itās worth it. š
šļø Hereās How It Happened:
I was selling USDT on a popular P2P platform.
A buyer reached out ā looked totally legit:
ā
97% completion rate
ā
Dozens of 5ā reviews
ā
Verified ID
He sent a perfect-looking payment receipt ā full details, transaction ID, timestamp.
Without double-checking⦠I hit āConfirm Receiptā š„
Biggest mistake of my life.
ⳠHours passed⦠NO money ever arrived.
Bank said: āNo transfer initiated.ā
Binance support? Couldnāt help ā because I already clicked confirm.
Tried messaging the buyer?
Blocked. Ghosted. Gone. š»
š„ What I Did WRONG:
ā Trusted screenshots instead of my bank
ā Clicked confirm before verifying
ā Ignored my gut ā just wanted to close the deal
šØ Protect Yourself in P2P Trades:
1ļøā£ NEVER confirm until you see money in your bank account
2ļøā£ Ignore screenshots ā they can be faked in seconds
3ļøā£ Rushing is a red flag ā legit buyers will wait
š” Lesson learned: I lost $4,000 trying to save 5 minutes.
Be patient. Be paranoid. Be protected. š”ļø
