The "Dirty Money" P2P Trap
This is the most dangerous one right now. A scammer buys crypto from you on Binance P2P. Everything looks normal. They send the payment, and you release the crypto. You think the trade is complete. But here's the catch: they used stolen or "dirty" money from a compromised bank account.
* The Shocking Outcome: Hours or days later, the real owner of the bank account files a police report. The police track the funds, and your bank account gets flagged. The worst part? Law enforcement issues a formal request to Binance. The result? Your Binance account and assets can be temporarily frozen for a police investigation. You're left with a locked wallet and a massive legal headache.
* 🧠 Pro Tip: Only deal with P2P merchants with a high number of completed trades and a near-perfect rating. Don't be tempted by slightly better rates from new, unverified accounts. Cross-reference their profile and check for any negative feedback.
