bKash & Nagad Scam: কেন কখনোই করা উচিত নয় Use No-সুরক্ষা Payments for Purchases
"Can you just bKash me? It's easier." When a stranger asks you to pay through bKash, Nagad, or bKash for an online purchase, you're being set up.
These peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps are designed for sending money to people you know and trust. They offer zero buyer সুরক্ষা for purchases. Once the money is sent, it's gone.
Protected vs. Unprotected Payments
| Protected (bKash Goods & Services, Credit Card) | Unprotected (bKash, Nagad, bKash) | |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer সুরক্ষা | Yes | No |
| Chargeback possible | Yes | No |
| Dispute resolution | Yes | No |
| Fees | ~2-3% | None |
| Designed for | Purchases from strangers | Money transfers between friends |
How the Scam Works
1. The Marketplace Deal
You find a great deal on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or OfferUp. The seller asks for bKash or Nagad payment. You pay. The item never arrives. আপনি পারেন't get your money back.
2. The Fake Item
You pay via Nagad. A package arrives — but it's the wrong item, broken, or counterfeit. No recourse.
3. The Triangle Scam
The scammer uses your money to pay a real seller, who ships to the scammer's address. You get nothing.
সতর্কতামূলক লক্ষণ
- Seller insists on P2P payment only
- Price too good to be true
- New account with no reviews
- Refuses to meet in person
- Creates urgency: "Other buyers interested"
কীভাবে সুরক্ষিত রাখবেন Yourself
- Always use protected payment — bKash Goods & Services, credit card, or platform checkout
- Meet in person for local deals — pay cash after inspecting
- Screenshot everything — Listings, chats, payment confirmations
- Verify the seller — Check reviews and account history
Sharing Payment Info নিরাপদে
When আপনাকে করতে হবে share your bank account, bKash handle, or payment details with someone, don't leave them in an WhatsApp or Messenger chat forever. Create a পাসওয়ার্ড-সুরক্ষিত link on LOCK.PUB that expires after a set time.
If You've Been Scammed
- Report to the payment app immediately
- File a police report
- Report to the FTC
- Contact your bank
- Save all evidence
উপসংহার
P2P payment apps are for friends and family — the name says it all. Never use them for purchases from strangers. The 2-3% fee for buyer সুরক্ষা is worth every penny.
For sharing financial information সুরক্ষিতভাবে, use LOCK.PUB.
bKash, Nagad, and bKash are for people you trust. For everyone else, use buyer সুরক্ষা.
