New fraudulent scheme!

⚠️ Attention! We are being informed of a new fraudulent scheme that has already affected several people. We will tell you the essence of this scheme and a way to avoid deception.

⁉️ The essence of the fraud:
➤ A fraudster creates a deal to sell coins, specifies Qiwi or another system as a payment method in which it is impossible to track the user
➤ A minimum time period is set for a deal.
➤ When a buyer enters a transaction, they communicate nicely and politely with him, but give the wrong details for payment.
➤ It is not possible to pay, the seller pretends to understand, it is difficult for him to understand where the requisites are, promises to figure it out as soon as possible and give the necessary data.
➤ When there are literally a few seconds left until the end of the transaction timer, the fraudster “finds” the correct details and gives them to the buyer.
➤ The buyer makes the payment, the fraudster sees the funds and immediately clicks the "Cancel deal" button that appears after the timer expires.
➤ The fraudster immediately withdraws the coins from his account to external wallets, exchanges them for Bitcoin.
➤ As a result, the buyer is left without money and without coins. And arbitration can do nothing to help him, as the fraudster emptied his wallets.

🤔 How to fight?
It's simple - don't pay for a trade if the timer runs out. Politely ask the seller to cancel the deal and make a new one with a new timer. If the seller is honest, he will agree without any problems. And if a scammer, you will avoid losing money 👍

Be careful and do not leave a chance to scammers! 😎
