One of the First to things I learnt in Crypto was Trading on P2P platform. So I make transactions cross boarders and within my country via p2p platforms.
On a faithful day I sold BTC worth 400$ to a guy from Europe, this guy was supposed to make instant payment to my Euro account but he decided to carry out bank transfer so he can call it back.
When I checked my wallet I saw that the money was showing "incoming" but it was not in the account yet. So I suspected a red flag. I couldn't send it out so I hesitated to release the funds. This was my first time experiencing this as a newbie then and he was mounting pressure for me to release.
I reported to moderator and sent Proofs such as screenshots of my account and videos. We were on that case for up to 3 days, I didn't release the coin and the CS service was poor as moderator took time to show up.
Finally the thief cancel the trade and my BTC was returned to my wallet. I was pissed because I don't think there was a penalty given to the guy for wanting to scam me.
There and then I develop interest in hunting scammers and showing others how to deal with scammers on exchanges and P2P platforms.
Newbies must be careful of these things as many falls victms on these P2P platforms. Relax make sure you transfer your money out to be sure, don't go for a high price because of greed and learn how to do trade be trading.
