🚨 I LOST $4,000 to a “Trusted Buyer” — and It Was ALL My Fault 💸💔

This one hurts to share… but if it saves even ONE person, it’s worth it.


📅 A few months ago, I listed $USDT for sale via P2P.

Got an offer from a guy with:

✅ 97% completion rate

✅ Dozens of positive reviews

✅ Friendly & responsive


📨 He sent me a perfect-looking bank receipt — with a transaction ID, even!


So I thought:

💭 “Looks good. Let’s confirm.”


👉 I clicked “Confirm Receipt”



⏳ A few minutes passed…

Then hours…


😰 Still no money.


📞 Called my bank:

“No transfer was ever initiated.”


Tried to reach the buyer again?

🚫 Blocked. Gone. Ghosted.


📉 Binance couldn’t help — I had already marked the trade as complete.



⚠️ MY MISTAKES:

• ✅ Trusted ratings + screenshots — HUGE error

• 🕐 Didn’t wait for funds to actually arrive

• 🚩 Ignored my gut feeling — the trade felt rushed



💡 LESSONS LEARNED:

1️⃣ NEVER confirm until the money hits your bank 🏦

2️⃣ Screenshots can be faked in 2 minutes — trust notifications, not images

3️⃣ If they’re rushing you — 🚨 RED FLAG


I lost $4,000 trying to save 4 minutes. 🤦‍♂️



🛡️ Be Patient. Be Paranoid.

In P2P, 1 click can cost everything.
