🚨 P2P ALERT! 🚨 The 3 MOST COMMON SCAMS that will leave you without crypto (And how NOT to fall for them!)
P2P is a powerful tool, but danger lurks. Millions of dollars are lost every year by not knowing the tactics of scammers. Don't be the next one!
Here are the most recurring scams and HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF:
- Fake payment receipts:
Scam: They send you an edited screenshot or a fake "receipt." They insist you release the funds.
Avoid: ALWAYS check YOUR BANK ACCOUNT or payment wallet (e.g., PayPal, Zelle). If the money is NOT there, DO NOT RELEASE. Screenshots are easy to fake!
- Sellers/Buyers that pressure:
Scam: They rush you, send you threatening messages, or make up excuses for you to release quickly without verifying.
Avoid: DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED! The Binance P2P platform has a time limit. Take your time to verify. If something feels off, cancel the transaction or file an appeal!
Your safety is your responsibility. Don't trust, VERIFY!
