🚨 The P2P Scam You’ve Probably NEVER Heard Of!
Most traders know about payment reversals.
But there’s a new trick scammers are using — and it’s catching even experienced users off guard.
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ The scammer starts a legit trade and sends you the payment.
2️⃣ But — they overpay by a small amount (e.g., $3–$5 extra).
3️⃣ They message you: “Oops, I overpaid, can you please send it back?”
4️⃣ The moment you send the “extra” back, they report YOU for off-platform transactions — getting your account flagged, while they still keep the crypto.
💡 Why it works:
Most sellers think they’re just being polite returning the extra. But in P2P, any transfer outside the system can be used against you.
✅ How to protect yourself:
Never send or receive money outside the platform flow.
If someone overpays, tell them to cancel and start again.
Always keep all messages inside the platform chat for proof.
Stay sharp. Scams evolve. So should your awareness. 🛡️
