35 sats \ 1 reply \ @purpurato 6 Apr \ on: Having multiple bank accounts - a good idea to avoid problems? bitcoin
I got involved in a scam while buying BTC non-KYC on a P2P platform, it's called triangulation. Some fucker says he sent money to my account and didn't receive his product, police freezes account while they "investigate" . Gladly I had a little amount there, but now I need other accounts.
Morale:
  1. Keep low amounts on banks
  2. Be very careful on P2P, check reputation
  3. Never forget money in the bank is not yours, it's the bank's

Thanks for this. I'm trying to understand it a little better, cause I want to avoid exactly these types of situations.
This guy who says he sent money to your account...was this related to a non-KYC BTC purchase? How did it benefit him?
I would love to hear more, please share more details if you feel comfortable. Or maybe there's some info online, on triangulation as it applies to individuals (the info I found online relates to merchant level credit card fraud).
