I read the same story before 2 days. I hope the same mistake was not repeated and didn’t involve 2nd victims.

😞 I Lost $4,000 in a P2P Scam — Don’t Make the Same Mistake 💔🚨 What I thought was a safe USDT trade turned into a nightmare — I’m sharing this so others don’t fall into the same trap.
🗓️ Here’s What Happened: I listed USDT for sale on a P2P platform. The buyer looked legit: ✅ 97% completion rate ✅ Positive feedback ✅ Verified ID
They sent a highly detailed payment receipt — even had a transaction ID. Feeling secure, I hit “Confirm Receipt.” Biggest mistake of my life.
⏳ Hours passed — no payment. 📞 My bank confirmed: no incoming funds. 💬 Reached out to Binance — they couldn’t reverse it. 👻 Tried contacting the buyer — blocked. Gone.
💥 Where I Went Wrong (So You Don’t): ❌ I trusted a screenshot — not my actual bank balance. ❌ I confirmed before checking for real funds. ❌ I ignored small red flags for the sake of speed.
🛡️ How to Stay Safe in P2P Trades: 1️⃣ Only confirm after you see money in your bank — for real. 2️⃣ Don’t rely on screenshots — they’re easily faked.
