P2P is fascinating, and when you have a secure, reliable environment and some basic knowledge to do it, there's no better way to stack SATS.

Here I'll just write down a few ideas that are flying around in my head and mention some anecdotes I've experienced in P2P trading. Exchanging trash 💵 for real value ⚡

On this side of the world (SOUTH AMERICA), nothing works better than Telegram's Lnp2pbot 🤖. It works perfectly, is easy to use, fast, and above all, keeps you safe, because there are many foxes (scammers) chasing chickens (newbies with zero experience) and even trying to hunt other foxes (savvy users who are not looking to deceive others, like the first type of fox).

I've been using this tool for over a year, and I've seen several things, some that happened to me or to another user (who commented on it in the help group, and I read about it and know what happened).

Example:

• A scammer takes an order from me and immediately says, "Release, I've already paid!" I immediately reply that I need to verify the payment and ask him to please send his proof of payment. He responds, "I'm not sending proof of payment, release me, I've already paid!" 😅 I immediately recognized the scammer on the other end of the line, reported him, opened a dispute, and recovered my collateral.
• Another scammer takes an order from me, with a history of 0 orders and 0 days using the bot—that's the first red flag. "Although it's worth mentioning that I've seen many new users who are simply using the bot for the first time, they ask for help, and everything flows smoothly, albeit more slowly." So I ask him to pay a QR code that I provide to receive the Fiat, and he asks for his phone number. I tell him NO! that he can scan the QR code and pay in his payment app without needing my phone number. And then he disappears and doesn't respond again. 😅 Haha, another bullet dodged, reported, disputed, and the collateral damage is back in my ZUES.
• This time I read it in the help group. To summarize, I'll get straight to the point and tell you. While reading the group messages, I came across something like this: "The admin wrote to me and helped me confirm a Relámpago address (@LNaddress). After that, I haven't received my SATS. Who can help me?" - another user chatted with him until they concluded that a scammer asked him to confirm a static address so that the SATS would go directly to his wallet and not the buyer's. And then the person who lost the funds added, "I trusted him; he had the admin's profile picture and was always very friendly." 🤦
• In a recent SATS purchase, a user (not a scammer) told me that to verify, he would send me a message to the number to confirm. In that message, they asked me to enter the order ID number, the amount to pay, and the payment description in the payment app, which had to be (irreversible payment). I found it quite interesting how they protect against potentially malicious users. In the end, everything went smoothly, and I was able to stack a few more SATS 💪🤠
• Another user commented that they bought SATS, fulfilled their order, and then received a message requesting the Fiat (apparently, they had been the victim of a triangulation scam). Someone wrote to them saying they had paid for something that hadn't arrived and that they wanted a refund. The guy eventually gave in to avoid further complications and returned the Fiat, assuming he had been scammed through a triangulation scheme.

These are just a few anecdotes.

Maybe I'll share more someday.
