What to do if you are scammed in P2P?

Trading via P2P allows you to buy and sell cryptocurrencies easily, but sometimes you may be exposed to fraud if you're not careful. Here are the main steps you should follow:

1️⃣ Never cancel the order 🚫

If you have transferred money to the seller, do not cancel the deal even if the other party pressures you. Canceling the deal means you will lose your right to file a complaint.

2️⃣ Use the appeal option (Appeal) 🛡️

After payment, if you do not receive your coins, click the 'Appeal' button.

The support team on the platform will intervene and review the proof of payment.

Don't worry: the funds are in escrow and will not be released to the other party until confirmed.

3️⃣ Prepare proof of payment 📑

A picture of the bank transfer receipt or remittance.

A statement showing the transfer process.

Any conversation or evidence supporting your position.

4️⃣ Do not deal outside the platform ❌

Many scams happen when the other party suggests transferring outside Binance under the pretext that the commission is lower or the transfer is faster.

> Remember: If you deal outside the system, the platform cannot protect you.

5️⃣ Report suspicious accounts 🚔

Report the scam account within Binance.

Don't forget to share your experience with the community to warn others.

6️⃣ How to protect yourself from the start? ✅

Always choose trusted traders (Golden badges ✅ + a large number of transactions + high completion rate).

Read the comments about the seller before dealing.

Don't rush to click 'Paid' before you actually make the transfer.

🔥 Summary:

If you are scammed in P2P, don't worry, the platform provides you protection through escrow and appeal, just stay calm and provide the evidence. The best prevention is to choose trusted traders and never deal outside the platform.
