Safety and common P2P scams

The escrow stops anyone from stealing the XMR, but the money payment happens off-platform. These rules prevent almost every scam.

If you sell

• Release only when you see the money in YOUR banking app. Screenshots can be faked in seconds.
• Check that the payer's name matches the buyer. A third-party payment may come from a stolen account.
• Beware of reversible methods (⚠): PayPal, Mercado Pago, Revolut, cards. Require an order history.
• Do not release on a “pending”, “scheduled” or “under review” payment.

If you buy

• Do not pay until the order says the XMR is locked in the escrow.
• Pay from an account in your own name and keep the receipt.
• Don't write “Monero”, “crypto” or “XMR” in the payment reference.

For everyone

• Never close a deal off-platform: outside the escrow there is no appeal.
• The only address is fiat.monerop2p.app. Distrust lookalike links.
• Nobody from support will ask for your password or your backup file.
• Cash: public place, with cameras, in daylight.
• Download your account backup after each order: it includes the keys of your open escrows.
