â Scammers are targeting P2P transactions in new and deceptive ways. Hereâs how the scam works:
1. You complete a P2P trade without issues and think everything went smoothly.
2. After receiving payment in your bank account, the scammer files a complaint with the bank, falsely claiming the payment was unauthorized.
3. Exploiting a loophole in the banking system, the bank may block your account without hearing your side.
4. The scammer then contacts you, demanding repayment of the amount they sent, threatening that itâs the only way to unblock your account.
Many people have fallen victim to this, losing their crypto or money. Donât let it happen to you!
How to Stay Safe:
1. Choose reliable buyers: Look for buyers with at least 1,000 completed orders and a 95%+ completion rate.
2. Check reviews: Avoid anyone flagged as a scammer in their reviews.
3. Read terms and conditions: Always understand the buyerâs terms before proceeding.
