If you've ever been scammed in a P2P transaction, you know the gut-wrenching feeling of losing your funds ๐. Thatโs what happened to me when I thought my USDT was gone forever. But after five months of persistence, Binance came through and helped me get it back! ๐
Hereโs my storyโso you can learn from it, protect yourself, and recover your funds if you ever face the same situation.
๐จ The Refund Scam โ How I Lost My USDT
It all started as a normal trade:
โ
Sold USDT to a buyer.
โ
They placed the order, sent the payment.
โ
I received the payment and released the crypto.
But thenโdisaster struck. ๐จ
A few hours later, the buyer filed a dispute with their bank, claiming the payment was a mistake.
โก๏ธ The bank reversed the transaction.
โก๏ธ The buyer kept my USDT.
โก๏ธ I was left with nothing. ๐
๐ช How I Fought Back
I refused to give up. Hereโs what I did to get my funds back:
๐น Gathered Evidence ๐ธ โ Screenshots of transactions, chat records, and the bankโs reversal notice.
๐น Filed a Binance Dispute ๐ โ I reported the scam through Binance P2P with all the details.
๐น Stayed Persistent ๐ โ I followed up constantly with Binance for months.
At first, progress was slow ๐ข, but I kept pushing.
๐ The Big Surprise โ Five Months Later!
After endless follow-ups, I finally received an email from Binance ๐งโฆ
โก๏ธ My USDT was refunded! ๐ธ๐ฅ
I couldnโt believe it! The hard work paid off, and Binance stood by me. ๐
๐ Lessons Learned โ Protect Yourself!

2๏ธโฃ Confirm Before Releasing Crypto โ๏ธ โ Make sure the funds are cleared (not just โsentโ).
3๏ธโฃ Leverage Binance Security Features ๐ โ Escrow services and platform protections are there for a reason.
