There was a time when I was both in a meeting and trying to handle an ETH order on my phone—and I almost paid for that because I was rushing.
While I was in the meeting, my phone buzzed with a message: "Done already, boss please check for me—I'm still in a meeting and need to keep going." Seeing the familiar sense of time pressure, I decided to release it right away just to get it over with, without interrupting the meeting. Luckily, I remembered the old rule: no matter how busy you are, you must go into the banking app yourself to confirm the funds have actually been received—don't rely on words or screenshots.
I asked permission to step out for 2 minutes, opened the banking app to check—there were no transactions in my account at all. Then I went back to the chat (still on the Binance platform; I didn’t switch to Zalo even though the buyer suggested, "Message on Zalo for faster"). I told them directly that I hadn’t received the money.
The buyer kept urging me, changing the excuse again and again—from "the bank is lagging" to "it was sent to the wrong account first." Those are the classic red flags piled up one after another. I refused to release, saved the entire chat log, and filed a complaint. Binance support stepped in and handled it quickly.
The lesson I learned: it wasn't only the other party's rush—my own impatience was exactly what the scammer tried to take advantage of. No matter how busy you are, it’s always worth stopping for 2 minutes to confirm that the funds have truly been received.
