Hey everyone,
This isn’t just a cautionary tale — it’s a real experience that could happen to anyone trading crypto through P2P platforms. Please take a moment to read this and protect yourself before it’s too late.
📍 A Normal Day Turned Into a Nightmare
Back in February, I stepped out for a quick snack. Tried to pay via UPI — failed.
Tried again — still failed.
Confused, I called my bank thinking it was just a tech issue.
But what I heard next completely shocked me:
“Your account has been frozen due to suspected links with illegal activity.”
Just like that — no warning, no explanation. My bank account was locked.
🔎 What Actually Happened?
Turns out, someone I traded with on a P2P crypto platform was later flagged for fraud.
Because their payment went through my account, I got caught in the crossfire — despite having zero knowledge or intent.
This is the dark side of P2P trading no one warns you about.
⌛ Months Later… I’m Still Locked Out
No access to my funds.
No clear answers from the bank.
Just endless stress, paperwork, and waiting.
🚨 Protect Yourself: Don’t Repeat My Mistakes
Here are 3 key rules every P2P trader should follow:
✅ 1. Only Trade With Verified, High-Rated Users
Choose users with 50+ completed trades
Look for a 95%+ success rate
Avoid accounts with low ratings or little history
🧾 2. Match the Name Exactly
Make sure the sender’s bank account name matches their crypto profile
Even small mismatches can trigger fraud alerts
⚡ 3. Don’t Rush. Double-Check Everything
Confirm wallet addresses, amounts, and account names
One wrong click can cost you weeks — or even months — of financial access
✋ Let My Experience Be Your Wake-Up Call
This situation has cost me time, mental peace, and control over my own money.
But if sharing it saves even one person from going through the same — it’s worth it.
Stay alert. Stay smart. And never take P2P trading lightly.
