🔒 P2P Scams in Pakistan: A Rising Threat 🚨

As digital payments become more common in Pakistan, so do peer-to-peer (P2P) scams — and they’re catching people off guard.

📱 How it works:

Scammers send fake payment screenshots to sellers, pretending they’ve paid for an item. Trusting the screenshot, the seller hands over the product — only to discover later that no money ever came through.

🎭 Their tactics:

Fraudsters often act friendly and professional. They pose as legit buyers or sellers and rush the deal, pressuring victims into acting fast — skipping proper checks.

⚠️ Why it's working:

Many users don’t fully understand how digital payments work. Without verification tools or knowledge, they fall prey to deception.

✅ What you can do:

Always confirm payments directly from your bank/app — never trust a screenshot alone.

Stay alert to pressure tactics or overly friendly strangers.

Report suspicious behavior to platforms and authorities.

Share awareness to protect others.

💡 Banks and fintech apps must also step up — with smarter fraud detection tools and more user education.

🛡️ Together, through awareness and caution, we can fight back against these rising digital scams.
