a year ago


P2P (peer-to-peer) in crypto is seen as a freedom for users but carries significant risks if due diligence is not practiced.

What are P2P Exchanges

P2P exchanges are platforms where users can trade cryptocurrencies directly with one another. They offer freedom from central intermediaries but can increase fraud risk if users are not careful.

Common P2P Crypto Scam Schemes

Common scams include fake offers, phishing, payment fraud, and escrow service scams.

Xiaoming Zhao, a blockchain expert, noted that such scams thrive due to the anonymity of crypto transactions.CITE_W_A

Identifying and Preventing Scams

Recognizing scam tactics and practicing safety is key to successful transactions. Key signs include fake profiles, suspicious payment methods, and unnecessary personal information requests.

The safety of P2P transactions depends on users' awareness of potential threats and precautionary measures. Using verified platforms, practicing secure communication, and employing escrow services will help minimize risk.
