So, you didn't read the "Terms of Service" properly... and are effectively breaking the ToS by accessing the service from a "banned" county, but somehow Paxful enforcing their ToS (which were published and to which you no doubt agreed to when signing up) makes them a scam?

I know people like to simply tick boxes when signing up to accounts because they just want to trade/gamble/play etc, but I hope anyone reading this starts taking the time to actually
read the Terms of Service (ToS) and/or "Rules"
properly on sites they are signing up for, lest you find yourself in a similar predicament!
