šØP2P Scam AlertšØ
ā Your account can be frozen even if youāre not the scammer!
Sharing my personal experience to warn others:
In Nov 2024, I did some P2P trades via Binance, when it was legal.
Now in April 2025, ā¹13K from Bank of India and ā¹34K from Axis Bank are frozen.
I called 1930 ā they confirmed 2 cyber complaints: one from Punjab, one from Chhattisgarh.
They say some scammerās money was passed through multiple accounts, and mine was one.
Even if youāre not involved, all accounts in the chain can get frozen!
I even called the person named in the complaint ā he said he doesn't know anything!
Police said:
> "If scam money enters your account by mistake, we still freeze it. You may never get it back."
So now my hard-earned ā¹47,000 is stuck. No fault of mine. Just because I used P2P.
Be careful. P2P is risky in India right now. Avoid unless you're ready to lose access to your funds.
Have you faced this before? Any advice?
