P2P scams in crypto usually happen when fraudsters exploit peer-to-peer trading platforms like Binance P2P.
Common tricks include:
Fake payment proof – Scammer sends a fake screenshot showing payment made.
Chargeback fraud – Payment is reversed after you release crypto.
Overpayment scam – Sending extra funds and asking for a refund (the original payment later bounces).
Social engineering – Pretending to be a trusted buyer/seller or rushing you to release.
The golden rule: Never release crypto until payment is confirmed in your own bank account and always trade with verified users.
