## **P2P Alert: FIA Crackdown on Pakistani Crypto Traders**
A wave of bank account freezes is hitting the Pakistani crypto community. The **Federal Investigative Agency (FIA)** is aggressively targeting P2P transactions linked to "triangular fraud" and hacked funds. If you use **Binance P2P**, EasyPaisa, or JazzCash, your lifestyle and liquidity are at risk.
### **The Anatomy of the Trap**
Fraudsters use stolen or "grey" funds to purchase crypto. When a legitimate seller receives this money, their account becomes a node in a criminal financial chain. Once the original victim reports the theft, the FIA freezes every connected account—including yours.
### **Survival Checklist for Traders:**
* **Zero Tolerance for Third-Party Payments:** Never accept funds from an account name that doesn't match the buyer’s verified Binance ID.
* **Verify Source of Funds:** Ask for a screenshot of the banking app interface before releasing assets.
* **Report Suspicious Behavior:** If a buyer insists on using a "cousin’s account," cancel the trade immediately.
Stay vigilant. In 2026, compliance is your only protection against a permanent bank ban.
