🛑 Beware of Scammers in P2P Crypto Trading! 🛑
P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading allows users to buy or sell crypto directly with each other. But where there’s money — scammers often follow!
⚠️ Common P2P Scams:
1. Fake Payment Proofs:
Scammers send edited screenshots showing “payment sent” — but no money is actually transferred.
2. Payment Reversals:
After receiving crypto, the scammer reverses the bank transfer or files a fraud claim.
3. Third-Party Payments:
Payment is made from someone else’s account, which can lead to account freezes or legal issues.
4. Pressure to Release Early:
Scammers often rush you with messages like “I sent the payment, release now!” before money is received.

✅ How to Stay Safe in P2P Trading:
• Only communicate through the platform’s chat system.
• Never release crypto before confirming the payment is received in your bank.
• Accept payments only from accounts with the same name as the buyer.
• Trade with verified users and check their ratings and reviews.
• Report suspicious behavior immediately to the platform (like Binance, OKX, etc.).

🔒 Remember: P2P is safe if you follow the rules. One careless step can lead to a big loss.
🧠 Trade smart. Protect your crypto.
