🚨 WARNING: New P2P Bitcoin Scam Involving Revolut and Online Marketplaces 🚨

There’s a growing scam that combines RoboSats, Revolut, and platforms like Facebook Marketplace or eBay.

It’s a classic man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack — and both Bitcoin users and online sellers can become victims.

🧠 Here’s how it works:

A scammer opens a BTC sell offer on RoboSats, requesting payment via Revolut.

At the same time, they contact someone selling an item (e.g., a MacBook) on Facebook Marketplace.

The scammer gives the seller’s Revolut account details to the Bitcoin buyer on RoboSats.

The buyer sends money (thinking it’s for Bitcoin), but it actually goes to the unsuspecting seller of the MacBook.

The seller, seeing the payment, ships the item — to the scammer.

The scammer gets a free MacBook, the buyer gets BTC, and the seller loses their item.

📌 Everyone loses — except the scammer.

🔐 How to protect yourself:

For Bitcoin buyers/sellers:

⚠️ NEVER send money to an account that doesn’t match your trade partner’s name.

Ask for a screenshot of the Revolut profile before sending payment.

Be skeptical of anyone who says “use my friend’s account” or “this is my assistant’s Revolut.”

If anything feels off — cancel the trade.

For marketplace sellers (Facebook/eBay, etc.):

Be cautious if someone pays via Revolut but the account name doesn't match your buyer’s.

Don’t ship products unless you’re sure the payment is legit and not part of a crypto scam.

If someone says “my friend will pay you” — it’s likely a scam.

Stay sharp. Scammers are evolving — so must our awareness.

Don't trust. Verify. ⚡

Yes, it's real. Usually if you are not the scammer you can endup getting your money back, but certainly it's a headache.
