When you trade crypto directly with someone else, it's called P2P trading. You can do P2P trading on various platforms like forums, exchanges, payment gateways, trading platforms. If the platform where you are trading offers Escrow service for P2P traders, it's safe. However, if the platform does not offer escrow service, you can get scammed. Even when you are offered escrow service by the platform, you might also get scammed. The most important thing to consider is you need to confirm payment before you release assets. For instance, if you're using a bank to pay, sign up for mobile alerts. That way, you'll know right away when money comes in, and no one can trick you.
