The only once I do know is this
.1) be very careful when you are  sending crypto because after sending the buyer could just reverse the payment.,

.2)never release your coin until you have confirmed payment in you bank account and make sure you check because alert it ould be tricky most times

.3) always check the other users profile to know if their account name matches their verification name

.4)Take your time in verifying everything because scammers often like to hurry when it comes to make decisions

.5)Never click on a link sent to you because it could be a way of stealing you information

.6)Always enables two factor authentication

You shared some really practical tips. I especially like the point about not rushing, because scammers usually create urgency so you won’t double check details. The advice on matching account names is also very important, a lot of people ignore that step and end up regretting it later.

I’d also add that enabling 2FA is not just for P2P but for all exchange accounts. It reduces the risk of losing funds even if someone gets hold of your login details. Staying cautious at every step is what really keeps you safe in this space.
