🚨 P2P Scam Alert: The Overpayment Trap 🚨

Most crypto P2P traders know about common scams — fake receipts, payment reversals, stolen accounts. But there’s a new trick making the rounds, and it’s catching even experienced sellers off guard.

🕵️‍♂️ How It Works

1️⃣ Normal Start – The buyer sends payment for your crypto as agreed.

2️⃣ Small Overpayment – They send $3–$5 extra “by mistake.”

3️⃣ Polite Request – They ask you to refund the difference.

4️⃣ The Catch – If you send it outside the platform, they report you for off-platform transactions. Your account can get flagged, suspended, or banned… and they still keep your crypto.

⚠️ Why It Works

It feels harmless — you think you’re just being polite.

Platforms have zero tolerance for off-platform payments.

Scammers know how to twist the story in their favor.

✅ How to Protect Yourself

Never send or receive money outside the platform.

If overpaid, ask them to cancel and restart with the correct amount.

Keep all chats inside the platform for proof.

Stay alert — scams evolve just like the market.

💡 Bottom line: In P2P trading, good intentions can cost you your crypto. Play by the rules, protect your account, and trade safely.
