🔴 Case Example:
A seller listed USDT on a P2P platform. The buyer sent a fake bank SMS identical to the real one. Thinking the money had arrived, the seller released the crypto. Later they realized no payment was ever made — the USDT was gone forever.
🔍 How Scammers Trick You
Fake Payment Proof – Forged receipts, screenshots, or spoofed SMS/emails.
Urgency Pressure – “I already paid, release quickly!”
Stolen Accounts – Some use hacked or third-party bank accounts, creating disputes.
✅ Protect Yourself Like a Pro
Confirm funds directly in your bank app — never trust SMS or screenshots.
Don’t release crypto until money is fully settled in your account.
Only accept payments from the verified buyer’s own account.
Enable 2FA & strong passwords on P2P and banking apps.
Keep chats inside Binance only — never move off-platform.
🛡️ Final Warning:
P2P is safe only if you follow the rules strictly. Scammers prey on trust and speed. Stay patient, verify carefully, and never let urgency cost you your crypto.
