How To Get Scammed on P2P – A Shocking Trick!
A close friend of mine, an experienced trader, recently fell for a surprisingly smart P2P scam and lost $1000. Here’s what happened so you don’t make the same mistake.
He was selling USDT on a popular P2P platform when a buyer approached him. The buyer seemed legit—verified account, good trading history, and polite messages.
The buyer sent the payment via bank transfer, and the amount appeared in my friend’s bank account. Everything looked fine, so he released the crypto without hesitation.
Within an hour, his bank froze his account, and he got a call from the fraud department. Turns out, the buyer had used a stolen bank account to send the money! The real account owner reported unauthorized transactions, and the bank reversed the payment.
End result?
1. Crypto gone
2. Money gone
3. Bank account under investigation
Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
1.Never trust fast payments blindly—stolen accounts are a common trick.
2.Verify the buyer carefully—check their transaction history, reviews, and payment method.
3.Avoid direct bank transfers—especially from unknown buyers. Stick to escrow-protected methods.
4.Wait for full transaction clearance—some payments can be reversed even after showing in your account.
