💔 Lost $5,000 in a P2P Scam 🚨
I thought I was being careful — verified buyer, great ratings, even a “real” payment receipt… but it was all fake. After I confirmed the trade, the buyer vanished. No money ever came.
💥 My mistakes :
❌ Trusted screenshots
❌ Confirmed too fast
❌ Ignored red flags
⚠️ Lessons learned (so you don’t repeat them):
1️⃣ Confirm only after funds hit your bank.
2️⃣ Screenshots mean nothing — trust your account, not the chat.
3️⃣ Don’t let anyone pressure or rush you.
🙏 Please be smarter than I was — in P2P trading, patience = protection!
