I meant to create a topic about my experience 3 days ago while doing p2p. Till now I'm still confused what actually happened and I was going to ask the community if anyone has experienced such before now.
So as usual after the buyer has confirmed their payment, we go to our bank to confirm our receiving it. I went to confirm and then returned to my app to release coins but on getting there the coins were already released to the buyer. I also have my 2fa authentication on but the coins were just sent without any verification nor my approval.

I've not experienced such thing in my years of trading p2p and till now I'm still trying to get my head around what actually happened. But then let's all be careful. Imagine this was a scammer who didn't send the money and the exchange had already released my coins without my approval.
Which exchange you experience such a thing? Is it Bybit cos this your experience really get as em be for somehow to believe. I haven't seen or heard about an exchange releasing someone usdt without them authorizing it.
We learn of different scenarios happening in the crypto space every day, everyone should be more careful in what their deal to avoid stories that touch the heart.
