#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Recently when depositing funds to buy USDT, I found that many merchants require payment first?

I even came across some asking to add their WeChat Work and send a direct red packet. With this pay-first-get-crypto-later method, what if the other party takes the money and doesn't release the coins? Has anyone ever fallen into this trap?

The old trick of paying first—it's impossible to guard against.

Paying in advance is really risky, you need to find a legitimate channel, bro.

Payment first, tokens later? That’s just setting yourself up for trouble. I’m not falling for that.

You really need to be cautious with this pay-first approach; it’s easy to get scammed. I usually look for platforms with escrow or third-party guarantees, which are less risky. But honestly, with so many pitfalls in USDT transactions, it’s not worth the trouble. It’s much better to use a reputable exchange.

I've seen this "pay first" trick too many times. To put it bluntly, it's just a gamble on the other party's credibility. Forget about it.

Pay first? Isn’t that the standard setup for a scam? Seriously, who would dare to play like this?
