Not only the newbies, some of us here can consider to leave such small amount of money for them but it is not proper. It is like begging which is very wrong since the exchange has its agreed price, no one should ask you for any amount of reduction or subtraction.
Some vendors even went further to write in their description that they will deduct #500 naira or even #1000 Naira that due the price volatility that they are at lost which should be none of our business because if they are not making profit from the trade, they will not keep doing it.
Some vendors will even send you incomplete money and pressure you to release their coin so that you will not easily noticed that the money is incomplete; please let’s always be careful and stand firm to get our complete payment you can even threatened to report the vendor so as to cleanse the whole system because scammers are trying their luck there.
Why did you give out your number? You can easily avoid any scam attempts but it can lead to people you do not know to be spamming you. Try to avoid it next time. Do not give out your phone number.
This is also no more new on this board. I think we should have a single thread for it. Or what do you think?
Given out the number is the mistake, but if the user is using OPay account number to receive payment, the vendor can actually assume that it is his WhatsApp number and chatted him/her up on WhatsApp or any other social media.
Yes, similar thread of p2p already exist, but maybe since it is from different exchange as the OP has specified that was why he decided to open another thread.
