Scams in the cryptocurrency space are all too common—especially when trading directly with strangers on the internet. So, how to avoid crypto scams effectively? The key lies in trading on platforms that prioritize security and transparency.
At Remitano, we protect every trade through our escrow system, ensuring both buyers and sellers are safeguarded during the transaction process.
The Remitano escrow service acts as a secure middleman during your trade. When a buyer starts a trade to purchase Bitcoin:
The seller’s Bitcoins are automatically locked in escrow.
The buyer makes the payment and marks the trade as paid.
If the seller refuses to release the coins without a valid reason, Remitano support can release them after verifying proof of payment.
This ensures that the Bitcoin buyer will receive their crypto once they’ve paid—even if the seller is uncooperative.
If you're selling Bitcoin:
Never release the escrowed coins until you have confirmed receipt of funds in your bank account.
Don’t rely on screenshots or promises—always verify the money has arrived.
By waiting for the actual confirmation, you're ensuring that you won't lose your crypto to a scammer.
In case something goes wrong:
You can open a dispute directly from the trade screen
Provide screenshots or evidence of payment (e.g., receipts, bank confirmation)
Our Remitano support team will evaluate both sides and take action based on solid evidence
This dispute resolution system is a critical part of why Remitano is considered one of the most secure P2P platforms available.
Many people still attempt to trade cryptocurrencies peer-to-peer via social media, forums, or chats—but these methods carry huge risks:
No escrow = No protection
No verified identities = Easier for scammers to disappear
No support team = No one to resolve disputes
In contrast, Remitano provides a safe environment, real-time support, and a reliable dispute mechanism.
If you’re wondering how to avoid crypto scams, the answer is simple: only trade on platforms with built-in escrow protection.
On Remitano:
Your Bitcoin is never released unless both sides fulfill their obligations
You can open a dispute and get support anytime
You're protected—whether you’re the buyer or the seller
Trade smart. Stay safe. Use escrow.
