I never thought that a small P2P transaction would land me in such big trouble.
Everything was going absolutely NORMAL. I had a bit of a knack for crypto trading, and buying USDT through P2P on Binance had become quite common. That day, a trader offered me — 'cheaper than the market'. I got greedy.
I made a P2P deal with him. He asked for a bank transfer, and as soon as I transferred the money, he released the USDT. Everything seemed fine.
But two days later, I received a call from my bank:
"There are suspicious transactions on your account, it has been frozen for investigation."
I was shocked.
The bank informed me that the account I sent money to had a fraud report. Perhaps that account was linked to stolen funds. Now, since I transferred money to that account, I also came under investigation.
Everything from my crypto wallet to my bank account has been frozen.
I emailed Binance support, went to the police station, but the process was lengthy. The P2P transaction hit me so hard that I couldn't trade or withdraw money for weeks.

Lesson:
Always deal with KYC verified traders during P2P transactions. In the pursuit of cheap offers, your account can get frozen — and that becomes a headache.
