LET'S NOT BE PART OF THE STATISTICS
Unfortunately, there are no specific statistics available for P2P scams in 2025 yet, but here are some trends and relevant data that could be useful:
In 2023, victims of fraud from cryptocurrency scams reported losing nearly $3.94 billion, according to the FBI. This figure is up from $2.57 billion the previous year.
It is for this situation that we should be alert to some RED FLAGS in P2P trading:
- Promises of quick or guaranteed profits:
This is a warning sign, do not fall into the hands of those individuals who promise you amazing and risk-free profits; it is likely to be a scam.
- Requests for personal or financial information:
If someone asks you for personal or financial information, such as bank account numbers or passwords, STOP!! We should not provide this information.
- Unsecure payment methods:
Personally, I try to use payment methods verified by Binance.
- Lack of transparency:
Not providing clear information about the transaction or product should concern us.
- Pressure to make quick decisions:
Everything has its order; haste only leaves exhaustion; let's take our time and avoid bad experiences.
- Fake or incomplete profiles
Unverified (friends, let’s take a few minutes to look at this information; it could be the difference between a successful transaction or not; someone who wants to do good business cares about meeting all requirements.
Taking Precautions will help us not to be part of the statistics and achieve the goals we have set.
