I Lost $4,000 in a P2P Crypto Scam

PLEASE Don’t Make the Same Mistake 😞💸

I never thought I’d fall for it.

I’ve been in crypto for years.

I was careful.

But one click… and $4,000 vanished.

This post hurts. But if it saves even one of you — it’s worth it. 🙏

🔁 The Setup Looked Perfect…

A few months ago, I listed USDT for sale on a P2P platform.

Then came a buyer — everything looked flawless:

✅ Verified ID

✅ 97%+ completion rate

✅ Glowing reviews

He sent a payment screenshot with:

📎 Transaction ID

⏰ Timestamp

🔒 Matching details

It looked legit.

So I did what many would do...

👉 I clicked “Confirm Receipt.”

That click cost me $4,000.

⏳ Minutes passed…

Nothing.

⏳ Hours passed…

Still nothing.

💥 I called my bank — no transaction.

🛑 Binance couldn’t help — I had confirmed.

👻 Tried to reach the buyer?

Blocked. Gone.

---

💔 Where I Messed Up:

❌ Trusted a screenshot — instead of checking my actual bank account

❌ Rushed to “close the deal”

❌ Ignored my gut instinct

---

⚠️ What YOU Should Do:

1️⃣ NEVER confirm release until you see the money in your account

2️⃣ NEVER trust screenshots — they’re faked in seconds

3️⃣ NEVER let anyone rush you — legit buyers don’t pressure

---

🧠 I lost $4,000...

To maybe save 5 minutes.

I won’t get that money back.

But I hope you keep yours.

This mistake taught me more than any bull run ever did.
