⚠️ P2P Scams in Pakistan — A Growing Danger ⚠️
Peer-to-peer scams are on the rise in Pakistan, targeting people who send or receive money directly via mobile apps or online platforms.
📌 Common Scam Tactics:
🔹 Sending fake payment screenshots to trick sellers into handing over goods.
🔹 Using friendly chats to build trust, then rushing deals to stop you from verifying payments.
🚨 Why They Succeed:
Lack of awareness about how digital payments work makes it easier for scammers to deceive people.
✅ How to Stay Safe:
🔹 Always verify payments in your account before delivering goods.
🔹 Avoid rushing into deals — scammers often create urgency.
🔹 Use trusted platforms with buyer/seller protection.
Banks, apps, and marketplaces should step up by detecting fake users, but awareness is our first defense. Together, we can protect ourselves and others from this growing threat.
