šØ P2P Scam Alert! šØ
I'm still shaken by what happened on October 14, 2025. I had listed my $USDT for sale on a P2P platform, and a buyer contacted me, claiming to be a verified merchant. He transferred the payment to my bank account, and I received the SMS confirmation. Feeling relieved, I was about to release the crypto when suddenly, the buyer cancelled the order and reported me for fake payment! š±
The platform froze my account, and the buyer disappeared with my crypto. The transaction was reversed, leaving me financially drained and emotionally devastated. I had trusted the platform's verification process, but it turned out to be a clever scam. š
*Lesson Learned:*
1. *Be cautious with verified badges*: Even verified accounts can be compromised.
2. *Wait for payment settlement*: Don't release crypto until the payment is fully settled in your account.
*Advice:*
Always prioritize security over convenience. Double-check the buyer's identity and wait for the payment to clear before releasing the crypto. Don't let greed cloud your judgment.
*Bonus Tip:*
Keep an eye on $BTC , it's heating up! š„
Stay safe, and let's hope we can prevent others from falling victim to these scams. #PowellRemarks #BinanceHODLerENSO #CryptoMarketAnalysis #scamriskwarning #TrumpTariffs
