â ïž Case Reported by a Friend:
One of my close friends recently faced a serious issue while selling USDT worth Rs. 200,000 through P2P. Despite checking the merchantâs profile before confirming the trade, things went wrong afterward.
đ What Happened?
After receiving the bank payment, his account was suddenly blocked within an hour.
The buyer didnât respond to calls, and later replied on WhatsApp claiming it was a âchain dispute.â
Upon visiting the bank, my friend was informed that a dispute of Rs. 200k was registered against the payment.
đ Steps Taken So Far:
Application submitted at the bank.
Reported to Binance, but Binance requested official bank proof.
Issue: Banks in Pakistan usually donât provide printouts or detailed dispute documents from helpline reps.
đ€ The Dilemma:
Now the question arises: should he proceed legally by filing an FIR with FIA / law enforcement or wait for further cooperation between the bank & Binance?
đ Evidence Available:
Buyerâs CNIC copy
Payment screenshot
Contact number & WhatsApp chat
Written application & Binance order proof
đ Community Awareness:
This case highlights the risks of accepting third-party payments in P2P trades. Always verify payment sources and avoid deals that look suspicious, no matter how genuine a profile may appear.
