Safeguard Yourself from P2P Fraudulent Schemes.
I have experienced the unfortunate consequences of P2P scams as a cryptocurrency user. In December 2023, I encountered a distressing incident where I lost $500 worth of crypto. It is crucial for me to share my encounter and caution others about the prevalent strategies employed by scammers, particularly in Pakistan.
Scam Alert:
1.Exercise caution when encountering advertisements offering significantly high prices, for example, 1 USD = 500 PKR. This tactic is frequently used to entice inexperienced individuals into purchasing cryptocurrency at inflated prices.
2. When selling crypto for fiat, be wary of scammers who send fake payment notifications. Verify the payment and check your bank account to ensure the funds are legitimate.
3. Be cautious of payments sent from third-party sources, as they may be fraudulent or lead to account freezing.
To avoid falling prey to these scams:
1. Ensure the seller or buyer is verified and has approved KYC.
2. Check the completion rate (CR); if it's below 98%, don't place the order.
3. Verify the total number of orders the seller has placed; prioritize older accounts with a higher order count.
4. Check when the seller placed their first order; prioritize accounts with a longer history in P2P.
Let's advocate for a direct fiat buy option to reduce the risk of P2P scams. Stay vigilant and informed to protect yourself from potential risks.
