How to Verify P2P Traders & Avoid Getting Scammed

 

With the rise of P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading scams on platforms like Binance, Paxful, WazirX, and LocalBitcoins, many users lose money due to fake sellers, chargeback frauds, and money mule schemes. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely verify P2P traders and avoid scams.


⚠️ Common P2P Trading Scams to Watch For

  1. Fake Payment Screenshots – Trader sends a fake UPI/IMPS receipt but no real money comes.

  2. Chargeback Fraud – Buyer pays via PayPal/Paytm, then reverses the transaction after getting crypto.

  3. Money Mule Accounts – Scammers use stolen/hacked bank accounts to pay you (leading to your account freeze).

  4. Fake Escrow Manipulation – Trader tricks you into releasing crypto before payment clears.

  5. Phishing Links – Scammers send fake "KYC verification" or "customer support" links to steal login details.
