🚨 New P2P Scam Alert: The Cross-Platform Duplicate Receipt Trick! 🚨
I almost lost 100 USDT today to a highly coordinated P2P scam. Here is the breakdown so you don't fall for it:
Step 1: Buyer A buys $100 of crypto from me on Binance and pays legally. I release the crypto.
Step 2: Buyer B (the scammer) opens a $100 order on a different P2P exchange. They send no money but mark it as paid.
Step 3: In the dispute, Buyer B uses Buyer A’s payment receipt to claim they paid me.
Because I cross-checked the timestamps and order details from my previous Binance trade, the exchange ruled in my favor.
⚠️ How to stay safe:
Always verify the money is inside your bank app, not just in a screenshot.
Say NO to third-party payments.
Use different usernames across different P2P platforms.
Trade smart and stay safe! 🔐
