I am trying to sell my USD via Deriv P2P, after place the order. the Buyer is sending a message like this  
"_ **You know I linked my account with the deriv support,the moment a customer placed an order, they deduct the payment in my bank account, They said for the customer to receive the payment, they should complete the order, and the dollars will be send first to deriv team and automatically send you payment to your account** _ "

Is this scam or real?

It’s a scam. Never ever sell dollars to traders with enticing rates on the platform. I had a similar experience. Also deriv should do a better job of blocking such traders from the dp2p
