🛑 How to Handle a P2P Scam & Secure Your Crypto 🛑
Scammers are everywhere — even in P2P platforms. But don’t panic if you fall victim. Here's a detailed guide on what to do:
1️⃣ Stay Calm & Don’t Release the Crypto
If something feels off, DO NOT click "Release" until you're 100% sure you've received the funds in your account — not just a screenshot.
2️⃣ immediately File an Appeal on Binance
Go back to the specific P2P order > Click *"Appeal"*
Describe the situation clearly and upload all supporting evidence (payment receipts, chat screenshots, account history).
3️⃣ Contact Binance Support
After appealing, reach out to Binance customer support. Give them your order ID and full details of what happened. They're trained to assist in such cases.
4️⃣ Report to Authorities
Scams are serious. Take your evidence and report the fraud to your local cybercrime or police unit. This helps not only you, but protects others in future.

- Double-check the buyer's KYC info
