If you've ever been scammed in a P2P transaction, you know the gut-wrenching feeling of losing your funds 😓. That’s what happened to me when I thought my USDT was gone forever. But after five months of persistence, Binance came through and helped me get it back! 🎉
Here’s my story—so you can learn from it, protect yourself, and recover your funds if you ever face the same situation.
🚨 The Refund Scam – How I Lost My USDT
It all started as a normal trade:
✅ Sold USDT to a buyer.
✅ They placed the order, sent the payment.
✅ I received the payment and released the crypto.
But then—disaster struck. 😨
A few hours later, the buyer filed a dispute with their bank, claiming the payment was a mistake.
➡️ The bank reversed the transaction.
➡️ The buyer kept my USDT.
➡️ I was left with nothing. 😔
💪 How I Fought Back
I refused to give up. Here’s what I did to get my funds back:
🔹 Gathered Evidence 📸 – Screenshots of transactions, chat records, and the bank’s reversal notice.
🔹 Filed a Binance Dispute 📝 – I reported the scam through Binance P2P with all the details.
🔹 Stayed Persistent 📞 – I followed up constantly with Binance for months.
At first, progress was slow 🐢, but I kept pushing.
🎉 The Big Surprise – Five Months Later!
After endless follow-ups, I finally received an email from Binance 📧…
➡️ My USDT was refunded! 💸🔥
I couldn’t believe it! The hard work paid off, and Binance stood by me. 🙏
🔒 Lessons Learned – Protect Yourself!
1️⃣ Use Secure Payment Methods 💳 – Some payment options can be riskier than others.
2️⃣ Confirm Before Releasing Crypto ✔️ – Make sure the funds are cleared (not just “sent”).
3️⃣ Leverage Binance Security Features 🔒 – Escrow services and platform protections are there for a reason.
