🚨 WARNING: New P2P Bitcoin Scam Involving Revolut and Online Marketplaces 🚨 There’s a growing scam that combines RoboSats, Revolut, and platforms like Facebook Marketplace or eBay. It’s a classic man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack — and both Bitcoin users and online sellers can become victims. 🧠 Here’s how it works: A scammer opens a BTC sell offer on RoboSats, requesting payment via Revolut. At the same time, they contact someone selling an item (e.g., a MacBook) on Facebook Marketplace. The scammer gives the seller’s Revolut account details to the Bitcoin buyer on RoboSats. The buyer sends money (thinking it’s for Bitcoin), but it actually goes to the unsuspecting seller of the MacBook. The seller, seeing the payment, ships the item — to the scammer. The scammer gets a free MacBook, the buyer gets BTC, and the seller loses their item. 📌 Everyone loses — except the scammer. 🔐 How to protect yourself: For Bitcoin buyers/sellers: ⚠️ NEVER send money to an account that doesn’t match your trade partner’s name. Ask for a screenshot of the Revolut profile before sending payment. Be skeptical of anyone who says “use my friend’s account” or “this is my assistant’s Revolut.” If anything feels off — cancel the trade. For marketplace sellers (Facebook/eBay, etc.): Be cautious if someone pays via Revolut but the account name doesn't match your buyer’s. Don’t ship products unless you’re sure the payment is legit and not part of a crypto scam. If someone says “my friend will pay you” — it’s likely a scam. Stay sharp. Scammers are evolving — so must our awareness. Don't trust. Verify. ⚡ #Bitcoin #P2P #RoboSats #ScamAlert #CryptoSecurity #Revolut

Please upgrade ASAP to benefit from enhanced resilience and stability. ✨ New features - A splitpane to calibrate sizes between offerbook chat and offer list has been added. - Official Bisq mediators and moderators can now be identified by the badge next to their nickname. 🔧 Improvements - The Bisq Easy protocol has been enhanced to protect against triangular scams. Now, when the buyer does the Fiat transfer, trade ID must be set as "Reason for payment". - Splash screen now shows the loading progress for each required step: Starting Tor, publishing onion service, connection to P2P network and, finally, data inventory request. 📬 Message delivery improvements - Send message as mailbox message in case no connection to the peer is yet established, which speeds up message delivery and provides better resilience. - Send mailbox message in case the node associated with the user profile has not yet published it's onion service. This case could happen specially with multiple user profiles and if Tor is slow/unstable. 🔄 Trade process improvements - Allow multiple takers to take the same offer of a maker who is offline. Before only the first take offer message was successfully processed and the remaining led to a failure when the maker went online. - Add new version for trade ID creation, including the take offer date. This allows that an offer can be taken by the same taker multiple times. This will get activated with June 1st. ⚖️ Mediation improvements - Add support for message delivery status with multiple peers in case of mediation. - Add new version for mediator selection which includes the offer ID.
