🚨 The P2P Scam You’ve Probably NEVER Heard Of! 🚨
Most P2P traders know the usual tricks — fake receipts, payment reversals, stolen accounts. But here’s a new subtle scam catching even pros off guard! ⚠️
💡 The Overpayment Trap
1️⃣ Looks Legit – Buyer starts a normal trade & sends payment.
2️⃣ Overpays on Purpose – $3–$5 extra “by mistake.”
3️⃣ Polite Request – “Oops! Please send back the extra.”
4️⃣ Gotcha! – If you refund off-platform, they report you → account flagged, suspended, banned… and they keep your crypto! 💀
🔥 Why It Works
✅ Feels harmless to “be polite”
✅ Strict platform rules 🚫 off-platform transfers
✅ Scammer twists the story in their favor
🛡 How to Stay Safe
✔ Keep ALL payments & chats on-platform
✔ If overpaid, ask them to cancel & restart trade
✔ Never send money outside the P2P flow
✔ Stay updated — scams evolve fast! ⚡
💬 Bottom Line: In P2P, good intentions without caution can cost you your account AND your crypto.
