I was scammed, but Not in Binance... from a paxful account

⚠️ **P2P Scam Alert** 🚫
Hello Binance users,

If you trade on Binance using P2P, this is extremely important for you. Many traders buy or sell $USDT /$USDC and receive payments directly in their bank accounts — but how safe is it really? Let’s break it down so you understand the risks clearly.

### **Buy-side Scam:**

When you purchase USDT/USDC, you transfer money from your bank to the seller. But what if the seller receives your payment and **doesn’t release the crypto**?
Don’t panic — you can **open an appeal**, and if your proof is valid, Binance will return your money.
Some sellers intentionally trap buyers like this, so stay alert.

### **Sell-side Scam:**

When selling USDT, you expect the buyer to send money to your bank. But many scammers try a different trick:
They **don’t pay you**, but send a **fake payment notification** to make you believe the money arrived.
Never fall for this — always check your bank account **yourself** before releasing the crypto.

### **Final Advice:**

Stay calm, stay cautious, and double-check everything. Being careful is the only way to avoid P2P scams.

**Important:**
If I’ve said anything incorrect, please forgive me.
