It's easy to spot scammer on Paxful. They're paying 21000 USD for 11000 USD worth of bitcoin. You'll be tempted to sell BTC to them.
Here are tips:
1. Never give your Paxful email or phone to a buyer for any of their stated reasons! Report scammers on their profile page!
Scammers will pretend to confirm their payment by asking for a code from your phone or email. They want to get access to your account.
Once scammers know your email address they send an email pretending to be from
info@paxful.com about your account problems and steal your password.
Scammers come up with new social engineering hacks if you give them your email address or phone number. They will use them to take control of your email and Paxful account.
2. Don't give out your Google 6 digit code as scammers will try to reset your email account password and will then access your Paxful account.
Be cautious when receiving emails from
info@paxful.com as it can be spoofed.
Never enter your Paxful account details outside paxful.com. Hackers will create whole fake websites that appear the same. Paxful will never ask you for account details.
3. Avoid and report phishing websites, always check that you are on
https://paxful.com in the address bar in your browser.
Always receive payment first and NEVER release bitcoins to buyer until you are certain payment has been made.
