💸 P2P Fraud: The Dark Side of Direct Trading
In the world of cryptocurrencies, everyone is looking for speed, ease, and direct profit. But behind the façade of "peer-to-peer" (P2P) trading, there are those who master the art of deception and turn trust into a trap.
🚨 Do you think proof of payment means the money has arrived?
Fraudsters know how to create fake images, convincing messages, and even calls that seem official. All of this is to convince you that "the transfer has been made"... while your account is still empty.
👤 Do you know who you are dealing with?
In some cases, payments are made from accounts unrelated to the actual buyer. After a few minutes, banks start reversing the payments, leaving you facing the loss alone.
📩 Do you trust every message that comes to you?
Fake platforms, deceptive links, and even fake customer support... they all master the game of persuasion and target you in a moment of haste or excessive trust.
🛡️ How do you protect yourself?
- Do not release coins until you are sure the money has actually arrived.
- Do not deal with third-party accounts.
- Do not trust images or messages as proof of payment.
- Use trusted platforms and enable two-factor authentication.
- Take your time... fraudsters are always in a hurry.
🔍 In the P2P world, intelligence does not just mean knowing the market, but also knowing who you are dealing with.
Be vigilant, be aware, and always stay one step ahead of fraudsters.
