⚠️ P2P SCAM WARNING – BE CAREFUL WITH "IBAN UNDER YOUR NAME" ⚠️

I almost became a victim of a new P2P method that everyone should watch out for.
The seller told me that after KYC they would create an IBAN "under my name", but the IBAN was NOT my personal bank account. They instructed me to:

✅ Send money to that IBAN
✅ Put MY OWN NAME as the receiver/account name
This immediately raised a red flag.
Here's why I refused:
If the transaction goes wrong, I could end up with bank proof showing I transferred money using my own name, but the IBAN isn't actually my bank account. If the seller later claims they never received the funds or disputes the transaction, you may have a very difficult time proving what happened.

I cancelled the trade immediately because I only send money to:
My own verified bank account, or
The verified bank account of the P2P merchant exactly as shown on the platform.

⚠️ Always verify before sending money.
Don't let anyone pressure you.

If something feels unusual, cancel the order.
Contact the exchange support if you're unsure.
I'm sharing this so other traders stay alert. Even if someone says, "It's normal, don't worry," always verify everything yourself before sending your money.
Stay safe, and remember: if something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts.
