Three images, exposing the three classic scams of OTC, OTC pit avoidance: If you see these three phrases, cancel your order immediately!
Want to buy coins in C2C? The merchant's language is more complex than the market. Today, I encountered three classic tricks that can actually be seen through at a glance. Remember, safe trading language is always simple and consistent, while scammers have their own “excitement” in their language.
1. “Scan the code to join and transfer in” - Ultimate inducement
When the other party does not answer any security questions and just repeats this sentence like a parrot, it means they have only one purpose: to get you to leave the platform's financial protection. Once the money is scanned into the “purse” they control, it disappears instantly.

2. “Little purse operation process: ...” - Language hypnosis
They send a long string of complex “tutorials,” using terms like “risk control” and “automatic accumulation,” but the core is still to get you to scan the code into the little purse. The longer the language, the more detailed the rules, the more real the scam. There is only one goal: to make you comply in a daze.

3. “The platform allows non-real-name payments” - Concept substitution
This is the most despicable sophistry. The core of platform rules is “transaction information must be absolutely consistent.” The order shows payment to A, but makes you transfer to B, while falsely claiming “allowed.” Once you comply, the platform determines that you have “not paid,” leaving you with no money or goods, and no place to complain.

Remember this iron rule: Any behavior that guides you to scan codes, use little purses, or transfer to non-order real-name accounts is 100% a scam. Safe trading only has three steps: verify real name → transfer within the platform → confirm release of currency.
Your eyes and common sense are the best risk control.
