Everyone thinks that as long as they put their own name on a P2P bank transfer, their money is completely safe, but actually, scammers are using this exact belief to lock you out of your funds.
Imagine trying to buy some $USDT to catch a market dip, only to find your bank account frozen and your cash gone forever. It is a nightmare that is becoming all too common for peer-to-peer traders who overlook one tiny detail during payment.
Here is how this new trap works. The seller asks you to complete KYC and claims they will set up a virtual IBAN under your name. They then instruct you to send your fiat payment to this account, making sure you write your own name as the receiver. It sounds legitimate because your name is on both sides of the transaction, but the account is actually controlled by the scammer.
There are three major red flags to watch out for here. First, a legitimate seller will never need to create a bank account for you. Second, if you do not own the destination account, you have zero control over where the money goes once it lands. Finally, if the trade goes wrong, you cannot get a refund because the bank sees you sending money to an account you claimed was yours, leaving you with no recourse to recover your
