Fake Receipt Scam
USDT P2P fake receipt scam
A fake receipt scam happens when a buyer or seller sends a screenshot that looks like payment proof, then pressures you to release crypto or continue the deal.
Golden rule
Never release crypto until the money is visible in your own bank account, wallet, or payment app. Screenshots and chat messages are not payment confirmation.
Warning signs
Pressure, urgent messages, unusual sender names, third-party accounts, and requests to leave the exchange chat all increase risk.
