I never thought it could happen to me.
But it did. I got scammed.
Selling USDT via P2P — the buyer sent me a “proof of payment” — looked legit, bank slip and all.
Out of trust or maybe rush, I released the crypto.
Minutes later, reality hit like a truck: NO money. NO trace. Just silence.
I reported it instantly. But it was already too late.
Lesson burned into my mind forever: ✅ NEVER release crypto until the money shows in your bank app.
✅ Screenshots mean NOTHING — verify the sender, the amount, the time.
✅ Stay sharp — scammers are everywhere, even in your DMs.
Even if you’re experienced… one second of trust can cost you everything.
If my mistake saves even one of you… it was worth sharing. Stay safe out here. ⚠️
