I never thought it could happen to me… but it did. I was selling USDT through Binance P2P, and the buyer sent what looked like a legit bank transfer receipt. It seemed real enough, so I went ahead and released the crypto
💔 Within minutes, reality hit — there was no money in my bank account, and the buyer had disappeared.
This wasn’t just a scam — it was a painful but eye-opening experience.
🔒 3 Vital Lessons I Learned (the hard way):
⚠️ Never release crypto until the payment is fully confirmed in your bank account — not just pending, but actually received.
👀 Always verify the sender’s name and transaction time in your official banking app.
🚫 Screenshots ≠ proof. No matter how real they look, only trust what you see directly in your banking app.
If sharing this post saves even one person from falling victim to a similar scam, then it’s worth it. 🙏
Crypto gives us freedom, but with that comes responsibility. Always stay sharp and protect your funds — especially on P2P platforms.
