I LOST $4,000 IN A P2P CRYPTO SCAM — DON’T MAKE MY MISTAKE 💔💸

I never thought it would happen to me.

But it did.

And if you trade P2P, it could happen to you too.

Writing this hurts — but if it protects even one of you, it’s worth it. 🙏

🔁 THE SETUP LOOKED PERFECT...

A few months ago, I listed USDT for sale on a P2P platform. A buyer contacted me. Everything looked legit:

✅ Verified profile

✅ 97%+ completion rate

✅ Dozens of positive reviews

Then came a payment screenshot — full transaction ID, bank stamp, timestamp.

It looked real.

It felt safe.

👉 I clicked “Confirm Receipt”.

That one click cost me $4,000.

⏳ TIME PASSED… BUT NO MONEY

Minutes… nothing.

Hours… still nothing.

I called my bank — no transaction.

I contacted Binance — but I had already clicked confirm.

They couldn’t help.

Tried reaching the buyer?

Blocked. Disappeared. Gone.

🚨 WHERE I MESSED UP:

❌ Trusted a screenshot instead of checking my actual bank account

❌ Rushed to confirm just to "close the deal"

❌ Ignored my gut feeling — and paid the price

⚠️ WHAT YOU SHOULD NEVER DO:

1️⃣ NEVER confirm until funds are in your bank — not just a receipt

2️⃣ Don’t trust screenshots — anyone can fake them in seconds

3️⃣ If they rush you — RUN. Real buyers won’t pressure you

I lost $4,000… trying to save 5 minutes.

That’s a hard lesson I’ll never forget.

Please — slow down, double-check, and trust your instincts.

In P2P trading, one click can cost your whole wallet. 🛡️
