I want to share something real that happened to a close friend — and honestly, it shook me.
Back in February, he was buying USDT on Binance P2P. Everything seemed normal: he sent the payment via UPI, and then… boom. A few hours later, his bank account got frozen.
The bank said, “Your account is under investigation due to suspicious activity.”
Fast forward to June — his account is still locked. No access. No updates. Just stress.
🧠 What Actually Happened?
Turns out, the person he traded with had a history of suspicious transactions. And since my friend transferred money to that account, he got caught in the mess — even though he did absolutely nothing wrong.
If you’re using P2P in India or Pakistan, this could happen to you too.
✅ 3 P2P Rules I Never Break Now
Only trade with verified users
If someone has fewer than 50 trades or a completion rate below 95%, I skip it. Not worth the risk.Always match the name
The bank account name must match the Binance profile exactly. Any mismatch = cancelled trade.Triple-check before sending money
I double- and triple-check the name, amount, and account number before hitting "Send." One mistake could cost everything.
💡 Why This Matters More in Pakistan
Let’s be honest — P2P is the easiest on-ramp into crypto for many of us. But the banks here still don’t get it. Even a small red flag can get your account frozen, and trying to fix it? Pure nightmare.
🛡️ Safety Tips That Actually Help
Stick to trusted traders with 100+ trades
Never send to third-party/shared accounts
Save every transaction record — screenshots, timestamps, everything
Start small with new traders
Enable 2FA and bank alerts
Your friend might not tell you this, but losing access to your bank account is no joke. Be safe, be smart, and don’t rush P2P trades.
🙌 Stay safe out there, crypto fam!
