Ugh. Yet another example of fiat / banking payment methods being the weakest link in the Bisq chain, by a huge margin. Seems scammers will always find ways to exploit weaknesses in the traditional P2P banking system. Unless it’s cash exchanged face-to-face (which has its own risks) there’s no good way to mitigate these core weaknesses in systems outside of Bisq’s control.
