Why P2P traders need AML checks
When you buy BTC/USDT/ETH from a counterparty in a P2P trade, you are receiving funds that could originate from: OFAC-sanctioned entities (Lazarus Group, ransomware operators), darknet markets, mixer/tumbler services flagged by FATF, or scam and fraud operations. If the funds are flagged and reach your exchange account, the exchange may freeze your entire account — including funds unrelated to the suspicious transaction. AML pre-check is the standard practice among professional P2P traders.
How to run an AML check before a P2P trade
1. Get the counterparty's sending wallet address before confirming the trade.
2. Send the address to @scorechain_amlbot in Telegram.
3. Run 3 free checks. If the address is risky, decline the trade.
4. For documentation purposes, purchase the $0.97 PDF report and save it.
At $0.97 per check, the cost of AML due diligence is less than 0.1% of a $1,000 P2P trade — and can prevent account freezes worth far more.
What does the check cover?
OFAC/EU/UN/UK sanctions, darknet market exposure, mixer and CoinJoin activity, ransomware payments, overall risk score. Supported chains: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), TRON/USDT (TRX).
