đš P2P Scam Warning in Pakistan â My First-Hand Experience
I recently went through a serious issue while trading on Binance P2P and want to share it so others can stay safe.
I sold 700 USDT (ââš205,000) to a verified merchant. The deal was completed without problems, and the amount was credited to my bank account. But shockingly, after 10 days things went wrong:
đ My bank account was blocked, and the transferred amount was frozen.
đ The buyer stopped responding to calls. On WhatsApp, he replied once, calling it a âchain dispute.â
đ At my bank (OPM), I was informed that a âš205,000 dispute had been filed against me, but they refused to provide full details.
â ïž Later, I discovered the payment had come from a third-party accountâa major red flag in P2P trading.
Luckily, I had kept solid proof:
â CNIC copy of the payer
â Transaction screenshots
â Phone number & WhatsApp chat
â Written complaint submitted to the bank
Iâve also reported the case to Binance Support and am waiting for their response.
â Whatâs Next?
Iâm now considering legal action. Whatâs the fastest and most effective way to deal with such disputes in Pakistan? Should I immediately register a case, or wait until Binance gives a final update?
đ Key Takeaways for All P2P Traders
* Never accept third-party paymentsâalways ensure the senderâs name matches their Binance KYC.
* Save all possible evidence: screenshots, CNIC, chats, slips.
* Fraud may surface days later, so remain cautious even after receiving funds.
* Report any suspicious activity to Binance and your bank right away.
đ Sharing my experience so others donât fall into the same trap. If anyone has faced something similar or knows the legal way forward, your advice would mean a lot.
