At 8 AM, I received a call from an unknown number telling me that I had an online order that needed to be paid for. The amount was 2.5 million VND.
As usual, I asked for the bank account number to make the payment. But this time, I stopped.
The account number looked different from the ones I had used before. I went downstairs to check, but there was no package there either. I started to feel uneasy, so I opened the app and checked the order history.
The status was clear: the package had not even been delivered.
I called the number back, but no one answered.
I had experienced similar situations a few times before. Because I was too casual, I sometimes paid before checking whether the goods had actually arrived. Those experiences taught me one simple lesson: even familiar situations need to be verified.
I apply exactly the same principle when trading P2P on Binance.
There are a few red flags I never ignore. If someone pressures me to complete a trade quickly, asks me to move the conversation outside Binance, changes payment details during the transaction, asks me to use a third-party account, or gives payment instructions that do not match the order, I simply stop and check again.
When selling crypto, I never release it based on a screenshot, SMS or a message saying “paid.” I open my actual banking app and verify that the exact amount has arrived before releasing the crypto.
Before accepting an order, I also check the counterparty’s profile, completion rate and trading history. I compare the payment details carefully and make sure everything matches the order.
If something doesn’t match, I don’t try to complete the transaction quickly just because everything looked fine at first. I pause, verify the information and keep the communication inside Binance.
If an issue occurs, I keep the order information and chat records so they are available if I need to use Binance’s appeal or support process.
When something doesn’t match, stop. Verify. Then continue.
