#P2P Scam Alert in Pakistan – My Experience & Warning for Traders
Let me share a troubling experience that happened to me recently while trading cryptocurrency through peer-to-peer transactions. I hope my story will help other traders avoid falling into similar traps.
A few weeks ago, I decided to sell 700 USDT, which was worth approximately PKR 205,000 at the time. I found a buyer through Binance's P2P platform, and initially, everything seemed perfectly legitimate. The buyer transferred the money as agreed, the transaction went through smoothly, and I released the cryptocurrency. At that moment, I thought I had completed another successful trade.
Unfortunately, my relief was short-lived. Ten days later, I received news that completely turned my world upside down - my bank had frozen my account and blocked the funds I had received. I was shocked and immediately tried reaching out to the buyer who had purchased my USDT. When I called him, he wouldn't answer my calls. Eventually, he responded through WhatsApp, claiming there was some kind of "chain dispute" involved.
Confused and concerned, I rushed to my bank to understand what was happening. The Operations Manager explained that someone had filed a dispute worth PKR 205,000 against the exact transaction I had completed. I submitted all the necessary paperwork and applications, but the bank staff were reluctant to share specific details about the case, leaving me frustrated and uncertain about my next steps.
## Documentation I Had Ready
Fortunately, I'm someone who believes in keeping thorough records of all my transactions. When this problem arose, I had everything I needed to prove my case:
- A copy of the buyer's national identity card (CNIC)
