A few days ago, I made the mistake that many make out of trust or carelessness: I sold USDT to a buyer who seemed 100% reliable.
✅ Verified, over 2000 transactions, good reviews… Everything looked good.
He sent me a "transfer confirmation" with his name, the exact amount, even the bank logo. Everything seemed real.
Under time pressure and not wanting to affect my completion rate, I confirmed without verifying in my bank account.
📉 Minutes passed and the money never arrived. I checked with the bank: not a cent.
I tried to contact the buyer… he disappeared.
I wrote to support, but since I had already confirmed, there was no turning back.
💔 I lost $850 in seconds.

Learn from my mistake. Here are 3 golden rules to avoid falling like I did:
1️⃣ Never confirm until you see the money reflected in your bank account.
2️⃣ Don't be fooled by screenshots or supposed transfers.
3️⃣ If something feels off, trust your intuition and cancel.
🧠 The experience was painful, but if this post helps even one person avoid falling for it, it will have been worth it.
