Topic: Are these P2P crypto platforms SCAM? - page 5. (Read 856 times)
The platform itself won't scam you but when you are doing p2p trades there is some risk that that you might get scammed if you are receiving a payment which can be charged back. If you don't use escrow you can be scammed also. This happened to me once when I was using a new p2p exchange where I wasn't familiar how it worked and mistakenly sent a payment before the other user's funds were in escrow. I got scammed but it wasn't a major loss. You should start out with smaller trades when you are just beginning.
It depend on how you define scams in the first place.
If you're looking a real P2P platform, it's correct they're scams because they're nothing different with centralized exchanges.
But if you're just looking an exchange that won't steal your coins/funds, they're not scams.

They can't be categorized with genuinely legitimate P2P platforms such as Bisq, Hodlhodl, AgoraDesk, and others.
Bisq is more like a decentralized exchange rather than P2P platform because you don't have to depend on centralized server.For me I use binance and mexc exchange and haven't use this ones listed or even know how they are secure .
Both of them are centralized exchanges. 
Surely, you can't just label them outright as scam. Except perhaps for Phemex, all those centralized exchanges mentioned I have already encountered a number of times. And while I'm not a user of all of them, more or less they have already established a known and reliable brand. So while you may encounter an accusation or two against them, they probably can't be categorized as scam alongside the likes of YoBit and other notorious brands.
However, I also won't call them a legitimate P2P platform. They're like hybrids. They can't be categorized with genuinely legitimate P2P platforms such as Bisq, Hodlhodl, AgoraDesk, and others.

A fair answer for all. Apart from Phemex, the rest are all reputable exchanges and OP can use one of them to start his crypto journey. The only downside is that they are all centralized exchanges and most people here don't like them so there will be accusations about them. But basically, they are safe to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
OP, my advice, you are newbies and there are many things you need to learn before investing. Therefore, I recommend that you have the most basic knowledge about the market before thinking about investing. Investing in haste also won't help you make a profit.
It will be better if you just go for the one that is known to forum members here.
I have an account in both Bybit and OKX but I’ve never made any deposit there since they are requesting that I complete kyc before I can perform what initially made me create the account.
You have already been showed Agoradesk but incase you want to use a popular exchange and you’re not the type that’s privacy conscious then you can also use binance [if you are ready to complete kyc verification] if you’re not willing to submit your documents then go for Agoradesk.

I am kind of new to the crypto era, and I am wondering if any of these P2P platforms scammed or legit?
- Paxful
- Bybit
- OKX
- Phemex
- Bitget
Maybe these sound familiar to you but this is my first month into this game and I want to pick the right ones.
Use two big websites to check them, Coinmarkecap and Coingecko. Those market websites have Trust and Reputation score for exchange and you can use those score as kind of reviews.- Paxful
- Bybit
- OKX
- Phemex
- Bitget

Want to know they are legit or scam, you can search with Google.
Paxful + scam
Bybit + scam
You will have results from Google and do your assessment on those results, to judge those exchanges.
Five exchanges you list, four are centralized exchanges and only Paxful is a Peer-to-Peer exchange.
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

I never used any of them sorry, so I won't vouch for them.
If you are looking for nice P2P solutions, I can tell that Agoradesk and LocalMonero are legit and efficient to buy/sell BTC/XMR. I used Agoradesk a lot for buying and selling cryptos, it is very nice. Once you found some nice users, it is just perfect imo. You just need to be carreful and check the rates.
Peachbitcoin is a good P2P non-KYC option too, based in Switzerland. Very smooth process, just a little bit boring if you are an Iphone user but still doable. (their app is still in Beta with iOS)
If you want to find legit P2P services, kycnot.me could be a great place to find links.
They may appear to be very legit but the most important thing to do when dealing with crypto especially is to be anonymous so try as much as you can to avoid KYC .
Keep your data and keys private and safe.
