🚨 P2P Scam Alert! 🚨

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! 😱

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. 😔

*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! 🔥

Stay safe, and let's hope we can prevent others from falling victim to these scams. #PowellRemarks #BinanceHODLerENSO #CryptoMarketAnalysis #scamriskwarning #TrumpTariffs
