Dear BitMart Users,
To ensure the safety of all users, we would like to remind you that recently, some users and merchants have suffered financial losses due to engaging in off-platform trades, which are not protected by BitMart’s security measures. We strongly advise all users to conduct P2P transactions strictly on the BitMart platform and follow the safety tips below to safeguard your assets.
Why Should You Avoid Off-Platform Trading?
Off-platform trading refers to transactions conducted outside of the platform, typically without the platform's oversight. This puts you at high risk of fraud. Once a trade is completed off-platform, BitMart cannot provide any protection or assistance, leaving your funds vulnerable.
Please Follow These Important Safety Tips:
-
Complete Transactions Only on the BitMart Platform:
Ensure that all your transactions are conducted on the BitMart P2P platform. We provide strict trading rules, identity verification, and dispute resolution mechanisms—all of which you will not receive when trading off-platform.
-
Avoid Trading via Social Media or Other Unofficial Channels:
Do not trade with strangers through social media platforms like Telegram, Instagram, Facebook or other unofficial channels. Fraudsters often use these platforms to lure users into off-platform trades. Once something goes wrong, you cannot pursue the matter further, and you may suffer financial loss.
- Only Communicate on the Platform
Avoid interacting with potential trading partners on suspicious websites and be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true. Additionally, communicating through external channels makes it easier for fraudsters to make false claims against you and deny the occurrence of the transaction.
-
Protect Your Personal Information:
Safeguard your personal information and avoid sharing sensitive details such as your bank account number, identity information, or other private data. Fraudsters may exploit this information to scam you.
-
Be Cautious of Suspicious Behavior:
If the other party suggests or insists on conducting the trade outside of the platform or behaves in any way that doesn't comply with the platform’s rules, immediately stop the transaction and contact BitMart’s customer service team. BitMart has a comprehensive risk management system and manual review mechanism to ensure that every transaction is secure.
-
Ensure Payment Security:
When making payments, verify the payment details provided by the other party to ensure accuracy. Be especially cautious when transferring funds to third-party accounts or private accounts.
-
Use the Platform’s Escrow Service:
BitMart offers an escrow service for P2P transactions, ensuring that your funds are protected during the transaction process. We recommend using this feature to prevent the release of funds until the transaction is completed and confirmed.
-
Contact Customer Support if You Encounter Any Issues:
If you encounter any suspicious activities or have doubts during a transaction, please contact BitMart’s customer support immediately. Our team is available 24/7 and will assist you promptly.
Security Protections Provided by BitMart:
- Real-name Authentication and KYC Verification: All merchants and users are required to complete real-name authentication to ensure the traceability of both parties involved in a transaction.
- 24/7 Customer Support: Should you have any concerns or questions, our customer support team is available around the clock to assist you.
- Risk Monitoring and Security Mechanisms: BitMart employs advanced risk management systems to monitor transactions in real time, ensuring the safety of all trades.
We understand your need for efficient and convenient trading, but security should always be the top priority. Please remember that off-platform trading carries significant risks, and we urge you to be cautious with every transaction to protect your assets.
Your security is our priority. Together, we will safeguard your assets.
