Safety Tips
1. Always Trade in Public Places
When engaging in a cash P2P trade, choose a safe, well-lit public place such as a bank lobby, mall, or cafe with CCTV coverage. Avoid secluded or private locations.
2. Verify User Ratings and Trade History
Check the reputation, completed trades, and feedback score of the counterparty before confirming a deal. Avoid new or suspicious profiles with no history.
3. Never Release Crypto Before Confirming Payment
In all P2P transactions, never release your cryptocurrency until you've physically received and verified the agreed amount in cash or confirmed a successful online transfer.
4. Carry a Friend or Companion
If meeting for a cash deal, bring a trusted friend with you for added safety. Let someone know your whereabouts and trade schedule.
5. Avoid Sharing Personal Information
Do not share sensitive personal information such as your home address, full bank account details, or government ID outside of platform verification channels.
6. Use CryptoMeet Chat Only
Always use the platforms internal chat to discuss trades. This helps ensure that all agreements are on record and can be used in case of disputes.
7. Double Check Cash Notes
Always count the money and check for counterfeit notes using UV light or mobile scanner apps before releasing your crypto. Report suspicious notes to local authorities immediately.
8. Be Cautious of Urgency or Pressure
Scammers often create pressure or fake urgency to rush you into making a mistake. Take your time to review all details calmly and carefully.
9. Report Suspicious Activity
Use the 'Report User' button or contact our support team if you encounter fraud, threats, or abnormal activity. Your reports help us keep the community safe.
10. Don't Deal Outside the Platform
Avoid taking trades outside of CryptoMeets escrow and chat system. This ensures protection for both buyers and sellers and helps resolve disputes if needed.
11. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off or too good to be true, walk away. Trust your gut instincts and prioritize your safety above the trade.
