1. *Fake Advertisement Scam*: Scammers post fake ads for selling goods or services at an attractive price and ask for payment via P2P.

2. *Overpayment Scam*: The scammer asks the victim to send the excess amount after receiving payment, but in reality, the initial payment is fake.

3. *Emotional Exploitation Scam*: The scammer builds an emotional relationship with the victim and then asks for money under an emergency pretext.

4. *Pretending to be Customer Service Representative Scam*: The scammer calls the victim pretending to be a customer service representative and requests account or payment information.

Be cautious and ensure the legitimacy of the transaction before sending money.
