Do not change the payment process under pressure

Stop if the payment stage suddenly introduces a process different from the one you agreed.

For example:

• a new recipient;
• a link sent by chat or email;
• a request to split payment without a clear reason;
• an unexpected intermediary;
• sudden urgency;
• requests for codes, passwords or credentials.

This does not automatically prove fraud, but it changes the transaction and calls for independent verification before proceeding.

If anything is unclear, return to official channels and do not send money until you fully understand the process.
