This is an example of what could happen: The scammer will pretend to be a reputable merchant looking to buy or sell crypto on Robosats. They'll contact their victims on Telegram, WhatsApp, or social networking platforms and send the victim their bank account details and a link to a P2P ad to let them know they'll be making a payment via this account. The scammer will then ask the victim to confirm that they've received the account details by having them copy them over to the chat on the order page.

The victim doesn't realize they are sharing the scammer's bank account details in the chat of an unrelated buyer, who is also unaware of the scam. The victim then releases their crypto to the unrelated buyer, who unknowingly sends money to the scammer's bank account.

If the victim tries to reverse the transaction by opening a disoute, there isn't much coordinators can do. Because all communication with the fraudster took place outside the Robosats platform, and the buyer sent their funds to a third-party scammer account
