P2P is easy, but scammers are everywhere. I learned it the hard way. Save this post:
1. Fake Payment Proof
Guy sends a fake bank screenshot and says "release coins fast bro".
Rule: No money in YOUR bank app = No crypto release. Screenshot = 0 value.
2. "I Paid Extra, Send Refund"
They send $1100 for a $1000 order, then ask for $100 back to another account.
Rule: Refund only to the SAME account that paid you. Else it’s gone.
3. "Let’s Trade on WhatsApp"
Soon as someone says "Binance is slow, DM me", it’s a scam.
Rule: Never leave Binance chat. No escrow = No protection.
Golden Rule for P2P:
Check your bank app first. Then click "Release".
That’s it.
Stay safe. Don’t be in a hurry.
