🚨 I Lost $4,000 to a “Trusted Buyer” — and It Was All My Fault 💔💸
This is a tough one to admit, but if it helps even ONE person avoid the same trap, it’s worth it.
🧾 A few months ago, I listed $USDT for sale via P2P.
Got a request from a guy with a 97% completion rate and dozens of positive reviews.
Seemed legit. ✅
He sent me a receipt that looked perfect — even included the transaction ID.
Bank transfer incoming, right?
So I clicked “Confirm.”
Minutes passed… then hours.
No money.
Bank said no transfer was ever initiated.
And Binance? Couldn’t help — I had already marked the trade as complete. 😞
I tried reaching the buyer again.
Blocked. Vanished.

⚠️ What I Did Wrong: • Didn’t wait for the funds to actually arrive
• Trusted screenshots — they can be faked in 2 mins
• Ignored my gut — it felt rushed, but I wanted to close the deal fast

💡 Real Tips to Avoid This Trap: 1️⃣ NEVER confirm payment until you see the money in your account
2️⃣ Don’t trust screenshots — trust your bank notifications
3️⃣ If they’re rushing you, that’s a red flag 🚩
I lost $4,000 trying to save 4 minutes.

💬 Be patient. Be paranoid.
Because in P2P, one mistake can cost everything.
