P2P trading looks easy, but scammers are literally everywhere. I learned this the hard way myself.
Save this post:
1. Fake Payment Proof
Some guy sends you a bank screenshot and pressures you: “Release the coins fast bro.”
Rule: If you can’t see the money in your own bank app, don’t release anything. A screenshot means nothing.
2. "I Paid Extra, Send Refund"
They send $1100 for a $1000 deal, then ask you to send $100 back to another account.
Rule: Only refund to the exact same account that paid you. Otherwise, your money is gone.
3. "Let’s Move to WhatsApp"
The moment someone says “Binance is slow, message me on WhatsApp”, it’s a red flag.
Rule: Never leave the Binance chat. No escrow = no protection.
Golden Rule for P2P:
Always check your bank app first. Only then click “Release”. That’s it.
Take your time, don’t rush. Stay safe out there.
