🚨 P2P Scam Alert in Pakistan – Stay Safe!

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) trading has become a popular way for people in Pakistan to buy and sell cryptocurrency directly. While it offers convenience and flexibility, it has also opened the door for scams that target unsuspecting traders.

How the Scam Works

Scammers typically create fake accounts or use stolen IDs to appear trustworthy on P2P platforms. They may:

Send fake payment proofs (screenshots of bank transfers that never happened).

Use third-party accounts to trick traders into confirming before receiving funds.

Pressure victims into rushing transactions by creating urgency.

Once the crypto is released, the scammer disappears, leaving the victim with no way to recover funds.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

Deals that seem “too good to be true.”

Buyers/sellers insisting you confirm before funds are received.

Transactions routed through suspicious or mismatched bank accounts.

How to Stay Protected

✅ Always trade with verified users only.

✅ Never release crypto until the payment is confirmed in your bank account.

✅ Use official P2P platforms and avoid off-platform deals.

✅ Report suspicious activity immediately to the platform and, if needed, local authorities.

⚠️ Remember: In P2P trading, your safety depends on your vigilance. Scammers are getting smarter every day, but staying alert can save you from big losses.
