🛡️ Stay Safe on P2P: Simple Tips for Seller 🛡️
In Pakistan, two main types of P2P scams are currently prevalent. Here’s how they work and how you can stay safe:
1. Third-Party Payment Scam:
Scammers advertise discounted items like mobile phones or watches on Facebook and Instagram. When someone shows interest, the scammer provides attractive pictures and reviews to lure them in. After the victim agrees to the deal, the scammer posts an ad on Binance, gets the payment information, and sends it to the victim. The victim then sends money to the Binance merchant. The scammer provides a fake CNIC to the merchant, who verifies the payment and releases the USDT. The scammer then blocks the victim, who is left waiting for their purchase. When the victim complains to their bank, it results in a dispute against the merchant's account.
Precaution:
Never accept third-party payments, even if a CNIC is provided.
2. Same Person Scam:
Some users who don't have 5000 USDT for the security fee for Binance merchantship join groups on Facebook or other platforms. Scammers offer to buy USDT at a high price and send payment immediately to the user, who then trusts them and agrees to sell USDT without asking for any documents. The user buys USDT on Binance and transfers it to the scammer. Later, the scammer files a complaint with the bank, leading to the buyer's account being blocked and the merchant's account facing a dispute.
Precaution:
Always request a video statement and transaction history of the last three days from the buyer. If they have received money from unknown sources, ask about it, get a CNIC, or cancel the trade.
By staying vigilant and following these precautions, sellers can protect themselves from P2P bank disputes and ensure safe trading. Happy trading! 🚀✨
