Emergency alert: USDT peer-to-peer trading hides the 'funds evaporation technique'.
Recently, a high-risk scam targeting newcomers to digital currency is spreading in the crypto circle. Scammers exploit loopholes in P2P trading rules, using a 'fake deposit + real withdrawal' series of tricks to trap victims in a situation where they lose both their coins and funds.
▍ Scam breakdown: Complete 'legal robbery' in 3 steps.
Disguised buyers: Using 'urgent purchase of USDT' and 'high price for coins' as bait, actively contact novice sellers.
Fake deposit: Create a false impression of funds being credited through bank transfers (such as fabricating text messages, PS screenshots) to induce sellers to release coins.
Lightning withdrawal: Immediately reclaim funds through the bank's 'cancel transfer' function after the seller releases USDT, even using the 'next day deposit' rule to delay.
▍ High-risk group profile: 3 types of people are most likely to fall for scams.
Newcomers to the digital currency space, unfamiliar with the trading process.
Urgent sellers pursuing 'instant cash' ignore risk checks.
Greedy users who easily trust 'high premium' quotes.
▍ Self-rescue guide: 5 iron rules to seal loopholes.
1️⃣ Recognize 'true certification': Only trade with users officially certified by the exchange; refuse to chat privately for redirection.
2️⃣ Reject the 'screenshot group': All deposit information must be checked in real-time through the bank APP/online banking; beware of delayed deposit traps.
3️⃣ Beware of 'abnormal sweeteners': A quote higher than the market price by 5% triggers a red alert; if the other party frequently urges, there must be a problem.
4️⃣ Account 'zero exposure': Never disclose sensitive information such as wallet addresses, private keys, SMS verification codes, etc. during transactions.
5️⃣ Control the 'release switch': Before receiving 'irrevocable deposit' proof, it's better to pause the transaction than to give in.
⚠️ Key reminder: 1 action can save your life.
If you encounter suspicious transactions, immediately freeze the order through the exchange's 'transaction dispute appeal' channel, and simultaneously contact the bank's customer service to verify the fund status. Do not give up your right to appeal out of 'fear of trouble'; this may be your only chance to recover losses!
In on-chain transactions, your 'confirmation' button is the safety valve for your assets. Remember: all 'get rich quick opportunities' that defy common sense are traps tailored for you by scammers. Slow down, check carefully, and you can protect your wealth in the digital age.
