P2P scammer
---
1. Fake Payment Scams
How does it work?
The scammer sends a fake screenshot confirming the payment, but they never actually made the transaction.
How to protect yourself?
Do not release the cryptocurrency (complete the deal) until you verify that the money has been received in your bank account, not just based on a screenshot.

2. Payment Reversal After Transfer
How does it work?
The scammer uses payment methods that allow them to cancel or reverse the transfer (like checks or certain bank transfers).
How to protect yourself?
Only accept guaranteed, non-reversible payment methods, such as direct bank transfers. Avoid accepting checks or unsecured payment methods.

3. Purchases Using Stolen Accounts
How does it work?
The scammer makes the payment using a stolen bank account or e-wallet, which can later result in the funds being frozen or investigated.
How to protect yourself?
Only deal with users who have a good reputation on the platform, and ensure that the sender's name matches the name registered on their account.

4. Rushing and Psychological Pressure
How does it work?
The scammer pressures you to release the cryptocurrency quickly using excuses like "I’m in a hurry" or "the deal will be canceled."
How to protect yourself?
Never rush to make a decision. Take your time to review everything and confirm receipt of the funds before completing the transaction.

5. Dealing Outside the Platform
How does it work?
The scammer asks you to complete the transaction outside the platform, claiming it will avoid fees or make the process easier.
How to protect yourself?
Always complete transactions within the platform, as it provides an escrow system to protect you from scams.
