🛑 Important Information 💎
🏦 Common crypto P2P (peer-to-peer) scams include:
1. Fake Escrow Services: Scammers create fake escrow websites or impersonate legitimate services to steal funds during transactions.
2. Chargeback Fraud: A buyer uses a reversible payment method (like PayPal) to pay, receives the cryptocurrency, and then reverses the payment, leaving the seller without funds or crypto.
3. Phishing and Social Engineering: Scammers impersonate trusted entities to trick individuals into revealing private keys or sending crypto to fraudulent addresses.
4. Fake Buyers/Sellers: Scammers pose as buyers or sellers. Buyers might claim non-receipt of goods, and sellers might provide fake or no crypto after payment.
5. Pump-and-Dump Schemes: Scammers artificially inflate the price of a cryptocurrency through false information, then sell off their holdings at the peak, leaving other investors with devalued coins.
To avoid these scams:
1. Use Reputable Platforms: Engage in P2P transactions only on well-known, trusted platforms with robust security measures and escrow services.
2. Verify Identities: Check the reputation and history of the other party through platform ratings and reviews.
3. Secure Payments: Use irreversible payment methods to minimize chargeback fraud.
4. Educate Yourself: Stay informed about common scams and red flags.
5. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Use 2FA on all accounts related to crypto transactions for added security.
