Na wa o
This kind thing they fear person o. Abeg which exchange be that? Me never experience this kind before but e be like say plenty people don experience am. Had it been say na that direct payment with the exchange that one sef you nor go too fear about this possiblity of scam because na direct trade with the exchange to your bank and not another trader.
It was actually on bybit, I guess a lot of us here use bybit for our p2p trades. I was also surprised as that had never happened to me before. Nonetheless we just have to be careful while picking a vendor so we dont fall victims by mistakes made by us or the exchange platforms.
Most traders like picking those merchants with high exchange rates which is why they mostly have this experience often; they don't even check the percentage of the trades of that particular p2p merchant and how many people they have traded with. If i want to choose a merchant i normally go for those that have completed more than a thousand trades and have more positive feedback from traders. When i come across people talking about scam in p2p platforms it just sounds somehow to me because i haven't got such experience before.
