๐จ P2P Scam Alert! ๐จ
On October 15, 2025, I fell victim to a massive scam. I had listed my $30,000 worth of $BTC for sale on a P2P platform, and a buyer contacted me claiming to be a trusted merchant. He transferred the payment to my bank account, and I received the SMS confirmation.
But just as I thought everything was fine, the buyer cancelled the order and reported fake payment! ๐ฑ The platform froze my account, and the buyer disappeared with my crypto. The transaction was reversed, leaving me financially and emotionally devastated.
*Lesson Learned:*
1. *Be cautious with verified badges*: Even verified accounts can be compromised.
2. *Wait for payment settlement*: Don't release crypto until the payment is fully settled in your account.
*Advice:*
Prioritize security over convenience. Double-check the buyer's identity and wait for the payment to clear before releasing the crypto. Don't let greed cloud your judgment.
*Bonus Tip:*
Keep an eye on $ETH , it's looking promising! ๐ฅ
Stay safe, and I hope this serves as a warning to others. ๐
