What Happens If Signs of Fraud Are Detected in a P2P Order

If signs of fraud or suspicious activity are detected in a P2P order, a dispute may be initiated. During the review process, support reviews the order details, examines the circumstances of the transaction, and reviews all submitted evidence.

1. A Dispute Is Opened

After a dispute is opened:

  • The cryptocurrency remains locked in escrow

  • The order cannot be completed until the review is complete

  • Additional evidence and explanations may be submitted through the order chat

This helps protect both parties until a final decision is made.

2. The Support Team Conducts a Review

During the review, the following information is examined:

  • Order history and activity related to the transaction

  • Communication in the order chat

  • Payment confirmations and transaction details

  • Evidence submitted by both parties

  • Suspicious activity or potential violations of platform rules

Only information directly related to the order is considered.

3. Additional Evidence May Be Requested

Depending on the situation, the platform may request:

  • Payment confirmation

  • Bank statement

  • Screen recording or video confirming the transfer

  • Documents confirming account ownership

  • Additional information about the order

If requested information is not provided, the decision may be based on the available evidence.

4. Decision Is Made After the Review

After the review, the platform may:

  • Transfer the cryptocurrency to the buyer if payment is confirmed

  • Return the cryptocurrency to the seller if payment is not confirmed

  • Apply account restrictions if violations of platform rules are identified

The final decision is based on transaction details, chat history, and submitted evidence.

5. What Happens If Violations Are Confirmed

If the review identifies violations of platform rules or suspicious activity, account restrictions may be applied, including:

  • Temporary or permanent account suspension

  • Restrictions on creating new orders

  • Restricted access to certain account features

  • Additional user verification

Common Signs of Suspicious Activity

Suspicious behavior may include:

  • Submitting fake payment confirmations

  • Attempting to receive cryptocurrency without actually sending funds

  • Using third-party payment details without prior agreement

  • Aggressive pressure, threats, or attempts to force confirmation of the transaction in the order chat

  • Attempts to continue communication or complete payment outside the platform

How to Reduce Fraud Risk

To reduce the risk of disputes and fraud:

  • Always verify incoming payments through a bank or payment app, not through screenshots alone

  • Use only the order chat for communication

  • Do not accept payments from third parties without prior agreement

  • Do not release crypto until funds are fully received

  • Open a dispute immediately if suspicious activity occurs
