Earlier this year my SBI bank account was frozen because I did 3 P2P transactions of 2 lakhs each. The guy asked me if he can do third-party transfer and I didn't know about any of these scams back in Jan and said fine. He sent those funds from some Hotel/Restaurant account. Which I can see on bank statement. Never thought of it.

buy BTC p2p through bank transfer and then yell fraud and file a complaint and get ur fiat back too, profit!

maybe it was a hotel employee or maybe even the hotel was in on the scam

jamtara happening all over india, smh!! Angry

Nah I read the original victim court doc and compliant letter/fir which I got from bank manager. They said they were scammed via investment route. Invest 50 lakhs you will get 1 crore such types. Scammers have an app (like zerodha) or something to take money and show fake profits and let them withdraw some/all profits. Get them to invest more and more and after sometime scam them. Something like that.

Then they use tons of bank accounts to route these funds finally crypto p2p so it's not traceable.

Thing is, the p2p seller on Binance has 1000 reviews all good. And in the week of trade I did, they started getting 10s of bank account freeze reviews. Which started after my trade. So, they are maintaining good Binance accounts for months and then using them to do this scam. Or buying Binance accounts.

yeah, i understand

there was a company in our town and they were advertising a shitcoin as the next bitcoin

and they had proper office and staff and everything, i went with my uncle's friend there long time back before corona

after visiting it and hearing their scheme we came out and i told my uncle's friend that this is a scam

and he agreed with me but without even telling me went behind my back and invested more than 2 lakhs in it

a year or so later, they vanished, took all the money and everything and that is when he told us that he had invested

but because they were advertising it as cryptocurrency and not ponzi, all the idiots who put in money think that it was fault of bitcoin

and this is why bitcoin and crypto is frowned upon and looked as it it is something bad

but the sad part is the govt. institutions instead of catching these fraudsters harass the genuine traders such as yourself
