That's a really low-key impersionation practice. 

@untraceabIe (with capital I) can be subject to it too... have you registered your altnyms yet?

Not in a P2P trade, thankfully. The closest thing is when I was scammed doing a twitter giveaway. The scammer changed their account name to look like the winner and DMd me for the prize. I didn't check before sending it. Thankfully, it wasn't a large amount, lesson learned.

I probably have not fallen for a p2p scam yet because I have only taken relatively small p2p trades which had some sort of insurance/collateral or escrow.

Have you ever been scammed in a P2P trade?
