Scammers may trick you by sending modified or fake receipts to make it seem like they’ve paid you.
Scammers may delay sharing their payment details and trick you into paying after the order is canceled. They might promise to release the crypto later through an appeal or off-platform transfer.
Two or more scammers may place orders with you for the same amount at the same time. They may try to trick you by providing the same payment proof for multiple orders, even though they may have only paid once.
Scammers may use stolen bank accounts to make payments. After you release the crypto, they may file a chargeback, claiming they never authorized the transaction. This can result in you losing your crypto.
Scammers may falsely claim their crypto or cash is held “in escrow” by OKX or another platform. For example, a seller might refuse to release crypto after you’ve paid, claiming it’s “in escrow.” Or a buyer might claim payment will be credited only after you release the crypto.
Scammers may impersonate OKX employees to trick you into releasing crypto prematurely. They might falsely claim the buyer has paid or threaten to block your account.
