How Scammers Trap You on Deriv DP2P – Stay Safe

🛑 How Scammers Trap You on Deriv Peer-to-Peer (DP2P) – And How to Stay Safe

By TBIG_FX

Deriv's Peer-to-Peer (DP2P) platform is a great tool for buying and selling Deriv credits without needing a third-party exchanger — but it's also being abused by scammers. Many traders, especially beginners, are losing money due to clever tricks used by fraudsters.

This blog will teach you how these scams work, how to protect yourself, and the correct steps to follow when using Deriv’s DP2P platform.

🔍 Common Scams on DP2P You Must Know

1. Fake Proof of Payment

Scammers will send you edited screenshots that look like payment confirmations and press “I have paid.” Their goal is to make you panic and release the Deriv funds before the money actually arrives.

🚫 Don’t fall for it! Only release funds after confirming the payment in your actual bank account.

2. WhatsApp Link Scam – Your Phone Gets Hacked!

This is a new and very dangerous trick: A scammer contacts you via WhatsApp during a DP2P deal and sends a malicious link, saying:

“Click this link to cancel the transaction.”

Once you click the link, it secretly gives the scammer access to your phone. All your passwords, logins, and even banking apps can be exposed and mirrored to their server.

⚠️ Never click suspicious links sent during a transaction. Deriv will never send cancellation links via WhatsApp or outside the platform.

3. Outside Deals Trap

They offer better rates and try to convince you to finish the transaction outside DP2P (via WhatsApp or mobile money). This is 100% unsafe and you will have no protection if something goes wrong.

4. Wrong Bank Details Scam

The scammer intentionally sends payment to a wrong account and demands a refund. In some cases, they hope you’ll mistakenly refund money you never received.

✅ Correct DP2P Procedure to Stay Safe

  • Only Use the Deriv DP2P Platform – Stay inside the platform. No WhatsApp, no outside deals.
  • Confirm Bank Payment First – Only release funds when your money reflects in your bank account.
  • Avoid Links & External Communication – If someone sends a link, report them and do not click.
  • Only Deal With Reputable Traders – Check the number of completed orders and user feedback before dealing.
  • Take Screenshots & Keep Evidence – Document everything to protect yourself in case of a dispute.

🚨 If You’ve Been Scammed

  • Click “Dispute” immediately on the DP2P page.
  • Contact Deriv Support with all evidence (screenshots, messages, etc.).
  • Change your passwords if you clicked any suspicious links.

  Be Careful When Filling Financial Assessment on Broker Accounts - TBIG_FX Be Careful When Filling Financial Assessment on Broker Accounts When registering a forex trading account, many beginners overlook the importance of the financial assessment form. This step may seem routine, but it can have serious consequences later if not handled properly. Most brokers ask for your employment status, estimated income, and net worth during the signup process. While it may be tempting to inflate your financials to appear as a "qualified investor", this can backfire when your account starts growing. Important Advice: Always choose “Self-Employed” or a similar honest option, and keep your net worth and income at a modest level unless you have official documents to back up your claim.
