This is not the first time a bitcoin fraud case has been recorded in peer to peer marketplaces like Remitano, Bitcoin ,Paxful and a few others, scammers are usually after Newbies who are still noobs in the crypto space.
Scammers who are always trying to rip people of their hard earned money are mostly in peer to peer market places, that is why newbies to the bitcoin field should only transact with buyers/sellers with at least a 90% good positive score.
The police are doing a good job and newbies should be extra careful in their daily businesses in the crypto space as scammers are always insight to catch their preys, i believe with time we will be able eradicate at least 90% of scammers off from the crypto space.
