๐จ #scamriskwarning | Protect Yourself During P2P Transactions ๐
Peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto trading offers flexibility โ but it also comes with risk. Here's how to protect yourself and stay ahead of scams. ๐
โ Top 7 Safety Steps for P2P Transactions
1. โ๏ธ Use Trusted Platforms Only
Always trade on verified exchanges like Binance, OKX, or Bybit with P2P protections and escrow systems.
2. ๐ Enable Escrow
NEVER release crypto before payment is confirmed. Platforms like Binance hold funds in escrow until both parties confirm.
3. ๐งพ Check Payment Proof Carefully
Donโt rely on screenshots. Always check your bank account directly for actual credit.
4. ๐ Avoid Off-Platform Communication
Scammers often lure victims to WhatsApp or Telegram. Keep communication within the trading platform.
5. ๐งโโ๏ธ Trade with Verified Users
Check the trader's rating, completed orders, and reviews before engaging.
6. ๐ธ Record Everything
Keep screenshots and chat logs. If a dispute arises, they can help support resolve the issue.
7. ๐ธ Watch for Payment Reversal Tricks
Be cautious of bank transfer fraud or fake payment alerts (especially from PayPal or Revolut).
