Are these P2P crypto platforms SCAM?

[romero121]

KYC mandatory platforms should not be seen as P2P platforms, because they have your data already, and you can't use their P2P service without passing their KYC verification requirement first.

This makes the whole P2P a lie to me, something that has been going on in crypto space for so long now, when the centralized entities comes, they will change every thing from privacy and decentralization into centralized way and stupid people will always welcome them.



Any centralized exchanges offering P2P services are third parties themselves, because they have secure all P2P users data by asking for KYC.

Other than the name, everything taking place in the exchange is done in a centralized manner. The primary purpose was to eliminate the third party, but here the exchange serves as the third party between the users. Data is money, and the exchanges also find it good business and do it in an organized manner.

They are centralised p2p exchanges. I haven't used them, but I am familiar with most of them. I found some new names, like Phemex, and I have no idea about them. Rests aren't direct scams unless third parties scam you with fake payment screenshots. They all need KYC, of course, to use their P2P service. I use Binance for p2p exchanges for my local currency. I never faced any issues there, and I don't feel Binance is a scam. But you must verify your KYC. If you care about your privacy, then you have to avoid centralised exchanges.

I can't tell if they are scams or not because I have no experience with them. Some of these platforms have gained popularity already but Binance is leading because this exchange has a reputation that makes users think they are safe. People had after the safety transaction and they will choose the platform where they feel confident which is why new P2P platforms gain less interest. Just maybe they are scams for now OP but can't guarantee that they will be performing the same in the coming days. Still, we need to act cautiously and care about our privacy.

In the main time While you are still a newbie as said, in other to stand safeguided in your Bitcoin or crypto journeys just as concious you are of bringing these above P2P platforms for the confirmations from those whom you counts on to be more knowledgeable than you in this crytop space, I would urge you to ask for recommendable platforms that would beat fit in and reliable for you as a beginner.
Hopefully you would be recommended with the legit platforms. But however, you can check on popular crypto wallets and checkout for verified P2P transaction sites.

P2P Bitcoin trading is not a scam.
It’s all depends on where you are do it,  for me I have not really use most of those exchange before, I only use Binance for me I would prefer to use Binance.

I cannot really advice you to use any of those platform you listed above because I don’t know much about them but I understand that people usually use them for buy and sell what I can only recommend you  to use is binance.

Maybe these sound familiar to you but this is my first month into this game and I want to pick the right ones.

Thanks

P2P is not scam but i didn’t use p2p service from any exchange you mentioned. i always use Binance and Ku-coin and always feel comfortable. but in crypto industry we should always keep ourself as anonymous that's why decentralised exchange is very safe for us. but if you want to use p2p then you must have to complete KYC verification. but it will not any problem if you use any reputable platform like Binance or Ku-coin. but there are some issue here that is when you will buy/sell crypto by your bank account then it will make huge transcation so you can face many problem with this. so you should be careful by using p2p

Only large transactions aren't a problem when using a P2P platform, there are a lot of scams and issues that one can face when using a P2P platform to exchange their cryptocurrencies to their local currency. One of the most famous issues these days is transaction disputes, some merchants would send you the money, and then open a dispute against your bank account saying that they have either sent the money by mistake or they have been scammed, and then your bank will be asked to return the money or you will need to submit proof for that.
Sometimes, some P2P buyers will send fraudulent payments to your bank accounts, and that then becomes a very big problem for you when people that they have scammed will open complaints against you with authorities.

They are all centralized exchanges but I haven’t used any one of them before; but from what I heard from people with experience, OKX, Bitget, and Bybit are good because people are using them and they are not complaining about them.
I am familiar with the Binance and KuCoin, and these two exchanges have been excellent since I started using them, they have similar methods of p2p which is very good as scams are not rampant.

you are telling the truth. p2p is not a big issue who use this for small transcation but if someone transcation is very big the it can make some problem for them. because every countrys central bank keep TOS for all the banks so if you broke that condition then they can take legal action against you. so you should always very careful. anyway p2p platform is very popular now for instant crypto buy-sell. so anyone can use this for his personal use only
