Today I almost lost $100 because of a smart P2P scam attempt on two different exchanges.

Here’s what happened 👇

I received a $100 order on Binance P2P.

The buyer marked the payment as completed and asked me to release the crypto. Since I had already received the money in my account and the sender’s name matched, I was about to release it. Before releasing, I asked for payment proof. Instead of a screenshot, he only sent the transfer reference number.

A few minutes later, another user placed a $100 order with me on a different P2P platform where I used the same merchant name. He also marked the order as paid without sending any money. When I asked for proof, he opened an appeal and sent the exact same payment screenshot that belonged to the Binance transaction!

Luckily, I had already saved the transfer reference from the first order, so I was able to prove the scam attempt and win the dispute.

⚠️ Important Tips to Stay Safe: • Don’t use the same merchant name on multiple P2P platforms

• Always request a clear payment screenshot before releasing crypto

• Double-check transfer references carefully

• Avoid third-party payments

• Never rush to release funds under pressure

Stay alert — scammers are getting smarter every day. 🔐
