⚠️ I Lost $4,000 in a P2P Scam — Learn From My Painful Lesson 💸😞
I’m sharing this tough experience in hopes that it helps someone else avoid the same mistake.
🗓️ Here’s What Happened…
A few months back, I listed some USDT for sale on a P2P platform. A buyer contacted me — everything looked solid:
✅ 97% trade completion
✅ Tons of positive feedback
✅ Verified identity
He sent over a perfect-looking payment receipt, complete with transaction ID and timestamp. Thinking all was good, I hit “Confirm Receipt.”
But the payment never arrived.
⏳ I waited… then waited some more.
Called the bank — they had no record of any incoming transfer.
Messaged Binance — but since I already clicked confirm, there was nothing they could do.
Tried reaching the buyer?
Blocked. Gone. Disappeared without a trace. 👻
💔 Here’s Where I Went Wrong (So You Don’t Have To):
❌ I trusted a screenshot instead of checking my actual bank balance.
❌ I rushed to confirm before verifying funds.
❌ I ignored the small red flags in favor of speed.
🚨 How to Stay Safe in P2P Trades:
1️⃣ Only confirm after you physically see the money in your bank.
2️⃣ Never trust screenshots — they’re easily faked.
3️⃣ Don’t let anyone rush you. If they pressure you, walk away — it’s a red flag.
I lost $4,000 trying to save time.
💬 Be patient. Double-check everything. In P2P, one wrong move can cost you everything.
