Scammers are out there, exploiting Peer-to-Peer (P2P) trading systems to steal your crypto. Here’s how they operate and how to protect yourself:
1. **Fake Payment Proof**: Scammers send fake proof of payment to make it look like they’ve paid. Once you release the crypto, the payment was never made.
2. **Payment Reversal**: They might use stolen bank details for the payment. When the real owner reverses the transaction, you lose both your crypto and the payment.
3. **Impersonation**: Scammers impersonate Binance support or trusted figures to trick you into giving up your funds or sensitive info.
4. **Overpayment Scam**: Scammers overpay and ask for the excess back. Once you return the extra amount, they reverse the original payment, leaving you empty-handed.
5. **Fake Disputes**: They file fake disputes, claiming issues with the transaction, leading to a lengthy dispute process where you might lose out.
🔒 **Protect Yourself:**
- **Confirm Payments**: Verify that payment is in your account before releasing crypto.
- **Check User History**: Review trading history and reputation.
- **Use Escrow Services**: Binance’s escrow ensures the crypto is secure until both parties confirm completion.
- **Communicate Through the Platform**: Keep all communications within Binance for record-keeping.
Stay vigilant and safeguard your trades! 🚀
