Lost $4,000 in a P2P Crypto Scam — Here’s How It Happened (And What You MUST Avoid) 💸😞
This isn’t easy to share, but if it helps even one person avoid the mistake I made, it’s worth it.
🗓️ A Few Months Ago... I posted USDT for sale on a P2P platform. A buyer contacted me — everything looked solid: ✅ 97% trade completion rate ✅ Verified ID ✅ Tons of positive feedback
It felt safe. Then came the payment receipt — a perfect-looking bank transfer screenshot, complete with transaction ID and timestamp. Without double-checking, I hit "Confirm Receipt" on Binance.
And then I waited...
⏳ Minutes turned into hours. But no funds arrived in my bank account. I contacted my bank — they said no transaction was ever initiated. I reached out to Binance, but since I had already confirmed the payment, there was nothing they could do. Tried to contact the buyer?
Blocked. Gone. Vanished. 👻

💔 What I Did Wrong (So You Don’t Have To):
🚫 Trusted screenshots instead of verifying actual bank transfers 🚫 Clicked "Confirm" without checking my account 🚫 Ignored my gut instinct just to close the trade quickly

🚨 Stay Safe: P2P Rules You Should NEVER Break:
1️⃣ NEVER confirm a payment unless you see it in your bank account — no matter how legit the proof looks 2️⃣ Ignore payment screenshots — they’re easily faked. Only trust your bank’s confirmation 3️⃣ Rushing = red flag 🚩 A real buyer will give you time, not pressure

I lost $4,000 because I didn’t take a few extra minutes to verify. Please, don’t repeat my mistake.
