There are a lot of scammers in the P2P market, and that's why, whether you're the buyer or the seller, you have to confirm that everything goes well for the other party first.

But the burden is with the seller when most of the buyers are scammers, and they'll fake it that they've paid them already.

Yeah, I have friend being scam in the P2P market, so we really need to be very careful on who we dealing with. I mean we just need our common sense not to blindly trust anyone even if they say that they have send the money already we need to check our wallet first if indeed there is the transaction.

The atmosphere changes when someone inexperienced or quite nervous is on the actuality of the trade. And that's why they panic and they become a victim of these scammers in the P2P market.

So, always verify when someone is very active in the P2P market because the scammers aren't choosing their victims. As long as there is a potential victim to them, they'd scam them.

I think though that the exchanges should also scan everyone before making them a buyer in the market. Because there are really too good to be true offers and it really sounds like a scam so the exchange should flag that.

Well, there are some disclosures and also the self awareness that we should have that they're telling us. And as for experience, we already are aware of them and so, it's just about us and how we're going to deal with these scammers.

That's why we shouldn't rely on SMS alerts to assume money has been sent. Opening one's banking app and verifying from there is the best way to go. One won't ever go wrong going that way. That's how I go about mine. However, most sellers are often in a hurry to conclude transactions and won't even verify all that. I've read here where a member said he was tricked by a buyer who didn't send complete cash. If one is careful to run through transactions, one should be able to identify any discrepancies in every transactions. Scammers don't have the luxury of patience and that's why they will always rush their victims through any transaction. To disarm them, slow down their rush/hastiness.

That's right. It won't cost a lot of time to verify it on the actual banking or wallet apps that we have. The time that we're going to spend on that is going to be better than having a potential scam because of our negligence and laziness.

I think that victims who have been scammed was due to the hurry that the scammer does to them. They have to remember that if they've been rushed to do the transaction and checking, they have to look at it as a sign that there could be some red flags already.
