🧨 What’s the “Chain Dispute” Scam?
This scam spreads like a chain reaction:
1️⃣ A scammer uses a P2P deal to send stolen or fake funds to a trader.
2️⃣ They then lodge a complaint with the bank, claiming the transfer was unauthorized.
3️⃣ The bank freezes both the sender’s and recipient’s accounts.
4️⃣ If that money has already moved to other people, their accounts may also get locked.
This ripple effect is called a “Chain Dispute”, and it’s leaving multiple innocent users unable to access their money.

🏛️ Why Banks Freeze Accounts So Quickly
Since 2018, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has warned against crypto transactions.
📌 With no official legal framework for crypto, banks act cautiously — often freezing any account linked to crypto-related disputes.

❗ Why This Is Serious
Your account can be locked even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
Without clear laws, there’s little legal protection for traders.

✅ Protect Yourself
1️⃣ Use a separate bank/fintech account (e.g., SadaPay, Nayapay) for all crypto activity. Keep your main account clean.
2️⃣ Save all trade records — screenshots, receipts, chats.
3️⃣ Trade only with trusted, verified users on reputable platforms.

🔐 Stay Alert. Trade Smart.
Crypto in Pakistan still sits in a legal gray zone. Until proper laws are in place, your safety is in your own hands.
