🛡️ How to Protect Yourself from P2P Crypto Scams in Pakistan
Use Trusted Platforms
✍️Stick to well-known exchanges (e.g., Binance P2P) with escrow protection.
🫵Avoid private deals outside official platforms.
🫱Verify the Seller/Buyer
➡️Check their trade history, completion rate, and user feedback.
➡️Prefer verified merchants with long trading records.
↔️Confirm Payment Safety
⚠️Never release crypto before confirming funds in your bank account.
Watch out for fake transfer receipts or SMS alerts.
📵Avoid Third Parties
Only trade with the account holder.
🚫Refuse requests to send/receive payments from different accounts.
Stay Alert for Red Flags
Unrealistic prices, rush tactics, or insistence on off-platform chats = warning signs.
Scammers often pressure you into quick action.
Keep Records
➡️Save screenshots, chat logs, and receipts for proof in case of disputes.
Legal & Safety Awareness
Crypto is not yet fully regulated in Pakistan—trade cautiously.
Use small amounts in initial trades to test reliability.
⚠️ Tip: If something feels suspicious, cancel the trade immediately and report the user to the platform.
