I was a victim of fraud during an in-person sale.
The buyer showed me screenshots of transfers allegedly made through Wise.
After checking with my bank, no transfer had actually been initiated or received.
It appears very easy to present a screenshot of a transaction as proof of payment, which can create a false sense of security during private sales.
I regret that there is no reliable real-time verification system allowing a recipient to confirm whether a transfer has truly been processed before handing over goods.
This experience highlights the importance of never releasing an item without the funds being fully credited to your bank account.
