đ¨ Important Alert for Crypto Users in Pakistan đ¨
â ď¸ Stay Cautious! Your bank account could get frozen because of crypto activity â hereâs how and why.
đĽ âChain Disputeâ Scam on the Rise
In this scam, a fraudster sends stolen money to a crypto trader, then reports it as stolen to the bank. The bank doesnât just freeze the scammerâs account â it also blocks the traderâs account and any related accounts. This âchain disputeâ causes multiple accounts to be frozen without warning.
đď¸ Regulatory Uncertainty
Since 2018, the State Bank of Pakistan has discouraged crypto use, but there are no clear laws. Banks treat crypto transactions as suspicious and may freeze accounts suddenly.
đŹ Real Stories From Users:
âI sold crypto and got a call saying my bank account was frozen due to a flagged transaction.â
âAfter a small P2P trade, my account was locked because of a âdisputed payment.ââ
đ§ What You Must Know:
You can get your account frozen even if youâre not involved in scamsâjust receiving money linked to one is risky.
Lack of legal protection means banks act fast and cautiously.
â How to Protect Yourself:
⢠Use a separate bank account for crypto trades (try SadaPay for safer P2P).
⢠Always save transaction proofs like screenshots and chat logs.
⢠Only trade with trusted buyers/sellers and reputable platforms.
