! Risks

  • Market Volatility
1

The "Gambling Ring" Poison

Gambling syndicates use P2P to wash illicit funds. If you receive 5M VND from a gambler, the police will freeze your WHOLE account.
2

Filter for "Diamond" Merchants

Do not trade with casual users. Use the filter to select "Merchant" (Yellow badge). They deposit security funds to the exchange.
3

The "Price Trap"

Market price is 25,500. A stranger offers 26,000. THIS IS A TRAP. They are desperate to offload dirty money. Do not be greedy.
4

Safe Banking Protocol

Use a secondary bank (Techcombank/TPBank) for P2P. Keep your savings in Big 4 (Vietcombank/BIDV) and NEVER link them directly.
5

The "Reference Code" Rule

If the buyer writes "USDT" or "Binance" in the bank note, REJECT the transaction. Refund 100% immediately. Only accept the Order ID.

Common Questions

Q: My account is frozen, what now?

Go to the bank branch. Ask for the "Cong An" (Police) freeze order number. You will need to explain the clear source of funds.

Q: Is P2P illegal in Vietnam?

No. Crypto is not legal tender, but trading it as a commodity is a civil right (Civil Code 2015).
