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.
