Is this P2P merchant safe?

Copy the numbers from the merchant's profile. The checklist says which look normal and which are a warning sign — and what no number can prove.

  • Completion rate 98.5% of orders completedlooks normal
  • Order history 1200 orderslooks normal
  • Release time 3 min averagelooks normal

These are rules of thumb that many P2P guides repeat (for example 95–98 % completion with hundreds of orders). High numbers can still belong to a rented or hijacked account. Always use the exchange’s escrow, never release before the money is in your account, and never move the chat outside the platform.

Common scams on P2P

A buyer sends a fake payment screenshot and asks you to release. A seller asks you to pay a third party’s account. Someone moves the chat to Telegram or WhatsApp. A “support agent” contacts you first. In each case the answer is the same: release only when the money is in your own account, and keep everything inside the exchange’s order chat.

What the exchange protects

The USDT sits in escrow while an order is open. If something goes wrong, open an appeal inside the order before it expires. Payments made outside the order, or to an account in another name, are usually not covered.
