🚨 Warning for Crypto Users in Pakistan
⚠️ Be Alert ⚠️
Why your bank account might be frozen because of crypto trading
"Chain Dispute" Scam
A scammer sends bad money to a trader. Then, the scammer tells the bank the money was stolen. The bank freezes not just the scammer's account, but also the trader's account, and everyone else who got that money. This is called a "chain dispute" and it can freeze many accounts at once.
Government Rules
Since 2018, Pakistan's central bank has warned against crypto. The government has said that there are no clear laws for crypto trading, so it is not officially supported. Banks are cautious and often flag crypto-related transactions.
What People Are Saying?
Users on Reddit and other sites have shared their stories:
"I sold some crypto, and my bank called to say my account was frozen because of a 'suspicious' transaction."
"My account got locked after a small P2P trade. They said it was a 'disputed' transaction."
What You Should Know?
Scam Risk: Your account can be frozen if you get money from a scammer, even if you didn't know.
No Clear Laws: Because there are no clear laws for crypto, banks are very careful and may freeze your account.
How to Stay Safe
Use a separate account: Don't use your main bank account for crypto. Use a separate account or a service like SadaPay for all P2P trades. Only move money to your main account after the trade is fully finished.
Keep records: Save screenshots and receipts for all your trades.
Be smart: Only trade with people you trust on safe platforms.
