P2P (peer-to-peer) transactions have become extremely popular over the past few years – especially in Vietnam – because of their fast speed, no middleman, and convenience. Whether you’re buying crypto on Binance P2P, selling products on OLX, or receiving payments as a freelancer, the idea of direct transfer looks very attractive 🔥

Lekin yahee cheez scammer ka favourite tool ban chuki hai. Because ⚠️ there is no third party involved, scammers openly use fake screenshots, hacked accounts, and illegal tricks to steal money from honest people.

Let’s break down the common P2P scam methods and exactly how you can protect yourself 👇

🚨 Most Common P2P Scam Techniques in Vietnam

1️⃣ Fake Proof of Payment
Scammer simply sends you a Photoshopped screenshot showing “Payment Successful”.
In reality, no transfer happened or the transaction is “pending”.
This technique is becoming very common on Binance P2P and Facebook/WhatsApp trading groups.

2️⃣ Stolen Bank Account / E-Wallet
Scammer uses a hacked bank account or e-wallet to send money.
Afterwards, the real owner reports unauthorized activity → Bank freezes your account for investigation.
Ultimately, you could lose both your money and access to your account 😔

3️⃣ Reversal Scam
After you receive the payment, scammer immediately files a “fraudulent transaction” complaint with the bank.
Result? 💥 The bank withdrawals the payment from your account and returns it to the scammer.

4️⃣ Underpaid Transfer
Example: You both agree on 100,000,000 VND… but scammer sends only 99,000,000 VND.
He then says “Baki ka cash dedo” (please give the rest in cash).
According to all official P2P platform rules, never release your crypto/product until full amount is received.

5️⃣ Third-Party Payment Fraud
Scammer convinces somebody else to send money to your account 💳
That person later complains → your account becomes a target of money laundering investigation.
This can even lead to legal problems ❌

🎯 Who Are the Main Targets?

✅ Binance P2P traders (crypto buyers & sellers)

✅ People in Facebook / WhatsApp trading groups

✅ OLX / Marketplace sellers

✅ Freelancers receiving payments through EasyPaisa / JazzCash

✅ Anyone using direct bank transfers (without escrow or 3rd party)

---

✅ How To Protect Yourself (and Sleep Peacefully 😌)

✔ Deal Only with Verified Users Check reviews, transaction volume & user feedback before accepting any P2P trade.

✔ Wait 1–2 Hours Before Releasing Assets Even after receiving the payment, wait at least 60-120 minutes.
This reduces the chances of reversal/fraud complaints.

✔ Never Share Sensitive Info ❌ CNIC
❌ OTP
❌ Passwords
❌ Account login
These should never be shared – even with “trusted” traders.

✔ Check Who Sent The Payment If the name on the statement is different or “unknown”, immediately cancel the transaction.

✔ Always Use Official Chat & Dispute System If you are trading on Binance P2P, use their in-platform chat + dispute system.
It acts as a legal shield and can help you recover funds.

🔔 Final Reminder:
Yes, P2P is fast and convenient 🔥 – but it’s also a playground for scammers.
Thoda sa caution + patience can save you from serious headaches and massive losses.
Verify first, trade later → and you’ll stay safe ✨

Global investment firm BlackRock has suffered substantial losses after falling victim to a massive fraud operation allegedly masterminded by Indian national Bankim Brahmbhat.


Reports indicate that Brahmbhat forged contracts and invoices, presenting them as legitimate business documents. BlackRock subsequently released payments totaling $500 million (≈1.87 billion riyals).


Based in New York, Brahmbhat allegedly transferred the funds to India and Mauritius, later filing for bankruptcy in the U.S. before shutting down his office and disappearing.


This case is now under investigation as one of the largest corporate frauds in recent history.
