Here is another P2P scam tactic to watch out for: incorrect transfer details provided by a fraudulent seller.
Before hitting "transfer," you must verify that the account number on the order screen matches the details the seller registered with the exchange. Never transfer funds to an account number sent via private chat; the registered number and the one they send you will differ.
This scam is dangerous because the account holder's name remains correct, while only the bank or a few digits of the account number are changed. A quick glance at the matching name often gives people a false sense of security, leading them to proceed with the transfer immediately.
Once the money is sent to an account other than the registered one, it is effectively lost. Since the exchange's reconciliation process won't detect a deposit into the specific account linked to the order, you will have no grounds for a successful dispute.
Here is a simple rule of thumb:
- Only transfer funds to the account number displayed on the exchange's order screen; do not use numbers provided in chat.
- Verify all three details: account number, account holder's name, and bank name.
- If they message you asking to "transfer to this number instead," cancel the transaction and file a dispute immediately.
- Ensure the transfer memo/reference includes the exact order code required by the exchange.
