Why so many of You use bybit is what I don't understand for real, there's Roqqu, and there's Luno, but you guys choose ByBit because of name.

I been trading coins for a very long time, never used ByBit or Binance even though I have fully verified accounts with both of them.
Roqqu and Luna charge fee. Bybit doesn't. And it's much easier for traders like me. No need withdrawing usdt; You just transfer from your unified account to your Funding account and trade P2P instantly.

I've never had any issue with their P2P platform and I use almost weekly. Same with Binance P2P when they were active.

I have heard that bybit p2p is not too safe i wonder what this evil guy even stands to gain by reporting the transaction as fraud will the bank now immediately refund his money after reporting? I don't understand.

Who still uses P2P. What I do is to send the usdt to my Busha or luno wallet and withdraw directly to my bank.
Luno transaction fees is quite high.

This is what they are now turning bybit into

Don't tell Bybit they will flag your account for accepting third party payments... to them you were supposed to refund payments from third party.

Thank you for creating this awareness..Bc the sc*mmer might use the same name on other exchange platforms.

Alaye forget. The victim should get a lawyer, he already have his bank details, they should get court order to freeze the scammer account and then report should be lodge in nearest police station. He will surely come to bank because PND is on his account, he should be arrested and both the scammer and the victim should tender evidence. The scammer should explain why he reported the victim account as fraud.
That's what he should do shaa

Good Day Nigerians,

I decided to narrate my Ordeal in the hands of a Scammer I recently encountered on ByBit so that others will learn about the new scam tactics and avoid being defrauded. All Screenshots involved in the Deal will be provided on this thread.

On the 16th of December, 2025, I was paid $690 for a Gig in USDT which was sent to my ByBit Account, and I decided to exchange it for Naira on Bybit P2P Platform, only to be linked to an aged Account which has been trading for Years with: Nickname OBA1 and Full names: BLESSING TEMITOPE ADEJIN. who informed me immediately that due to limits on his personal account, that he would be paying from either of the company Accounts he personally owns, operates and opened with his personal details which match his real name on Bybit which he listed to be: 1: OLADEK FARMS, Account 2: AYN MOBILE TECH , Account 3: TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES. He then went ahead to pay me with his TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES Account domiciled with SAFEHAVEN MICROFINANCE BANK. after which I went ahead to release the USDT To him and the trade was completed. The next day being 17th of December, 2025, I received a message from Access Bank that my Account has been restricted and a Post-No-Debit was placed on my Account, I was unable to access my account and Funds for days, I spent my next days in the Access Bank Branch where my account is domiciled, they were just pointing out that transaction to my account telling me it's under investigation. It was only after days of stress and disturbance did Access Bank inform me that The Reason for the Restriction on my account was that the Person who sent that money to my account Reported it as FRAUD and Requested for a REFUND of his money that he doesn't know about that transaction. I informed them that it was a business Transaction and they asked me to provide proof of business so they can review and remove the restrictions in my account, which I immediately sent all screenshots and evidence that I got paid USDT for a Job and I sold it to the person. After a Few Days, the restriction on my Account was Lifted and I regained access to my account.

I checked the user and he is still actively posting Trades even until today, and I strongly believe he is doing that to many other unsuspecting victims and that is why I decided to inform the General Public to save Others from being scammed.

Lessons to be Learnt:
Please, Nigerians, avoid Trading on Bybit with this User: OBA1 and Full names: BLESSING TEMITOPE ADEJIN. who operates the following accounts 1: OLADEK FARMS , Account 2: AYN MOBILE TECH , Account 3: TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES. What he does is that he Buys your Coin, pays you with any of his accounts and reports it as FRAUD to his Bank, leaving your account frozen and then your bank will ask that you should refund the money to him so that your account can be unfrozen.

I have been trading on bybit for the longest of time and never encounter these lowlifes.

I carefully filter people I trade with (Usdt balance, 98+% rating, verified ad,. This also means I might not get the rate, but safety over penny saving

ive been tradding on bybit for a very long time
first dont trade with unverified traders
2 always check reviews and transactions success
only trade with sellers with 97 to 100% success rates
and never release coins if the money dont hit your account
once transaction is successful move the funds immediately to another account...
