Recently, I sold $630 worth of $USDT on Binance to a user named "24tranders." In return, around 2.65 lakh PKR was transferred to my two Pakistani bank accounts from three different individuals. It later came to light that the money originated from hacked bank accounts. The real account holders filed complaints with the FIA, which led to the freezing of my accounts along with others who were unknowingly caught up in the scam. The investigation is ongoing and could take a long time to resolve. At the moment, I have about 8 lakh PKR stuck in my frozen accounts, and despite reaching out to my bank for information about the investigating officer, they have yet to receive any details from the FIA.

For anyone involved in P2P trading, I urge you to be extremely cautious. Always ensure that the buyer’s Binance account has a "Verified Badge" and that it shows a "Security Amount Deposited." Also, double-check that the name on the Binance profile exactly matches the name used in the bank transfer. Although I still have the phone numbers of the three individuals who sent the money, they now believe I was the one who hacked their accounts using their. passwords and OTPs, which has added to the complexity of the situation.
