#binancep2pantoan @Binance Vietnam P2P trading in progress, the counterparty suddenly changes the payment method
Once, I ran into a rather unpleasant situation when buying USDT on Binance P2P.
At first, I chose an ad that clearly stated payment via bank transfer. The price was good and the quantity was suitable, so I placed the order as usual.
After the order was opened, the seller sent a message:
“Please transfer to this account for me—the account above is having an error.”
When I checked, I found the recipient’s name was completely different from the original information.
That’s when I started to feel something wasn’t right.
The seller kept urging me: “Transfer quickly, or we’ll run out of time.”
If I were new, I might have simply assumed their bank was having an issue and just followed the updated information. But if just one payment detail changes compared to the original ad, I think it’s best to stop and verify instead of trying to rush to complete the transaction.
I asked again for the reason and requested they provide the correct payment method as stated in the order. The seller still kept insisting that I transfer to another account.
In the end, I didn’t make the transfer and instead proceeded to handle the order according to Binance’s rules.
From this experience, I drew a fairly simple lesson: don’t let time pressure make you ignore unusual signs.
P2P can be very fast, but if the money has been sent to the wrong place, you can’t be sure you’ll be able to get it back just as quickly.
If the payment information suddenly changes, I’d rather lose a transaction than trade off my own money.
If you’ve already transferred, keep the receipt and the entire chat.
If there’s a problem, don’t handle it on your own outside of Binance—use the appeal/support process.
