On 5th October 2025, I unfortunately became a victim of a P2P scam while selling $USDT on a popular platform. ๐
A buyer contacted me, claiming to be a verified merchant. He sent a payment to my bank, and I even received an SMS confirmation.
But just before I released the crypto, the buyer cancelled the order and reported a fake payment issue to the platform. ๐ณ
Shortly after, the bank reversed the transaction, and the buyer disappeared โ along with my crypto.
Turns out, he was using a third-party bank account.
๐ก Lesson Learned:
1๏ธโฃ Wait for payment settlement โ Donโt release your crypto until funds are fully settled in your bank account.
2๏ธโฃ Verify buyer authenticity โ Even โverifiedโ users can be scammers. Double-check everything.
๐ฅ Pro Tip: Keep an eye on $SOL
โ showing strong potential in the current market. ๐
๐ Stay Safe:
Scammers are getting smarter every day. Always prioritize security and verification before completing any P2P trade.
