Is buying Kaspa through Discord OTC channels safe?

Buying Kaspa through Discord OTC trading channels is officially not recommended because of a high risk of being scammed. OTC (over-the-counter) means trading directly with another person instead of through an exchange — you post your offer in a Discord channel, then wait for a seller to contact you. There is no escrow, no identity verification, and no platform standing between you and a bad actor; if the seller disappears with your money, there is no recourse. If you proceed anyway, the community advice is to send only small amounts at a time rather than a single large payment, and only with sellers you have built some trust with over time.
