Recently, a new wave of fraud has emerged, which has already taken money from dozens of users. People are lured into fake "clone groups" designed to look like official Binance channels and are offered to fund a "promotional bot" starting from $100, supposedly to receive double the amount.
It sounds too good to be true — and it is.
The scheme is simple:
a fake bot or 'admin' messages the user, shows fake screenshots of winnings, and asks for money to participate. After depositing — zero support, zero payouts, complete block.
It's important to remember:
Binance does not conduct promotions that require transferring funds to unknown wallets or third-party 'bots'. All official activities and bonuses are available only through the app, website, or posts in Binance Square with a verified badge.
How to protect yourself from fraudulent clones:
do not click on suspicious links;
do not interact with 'bots' that ask for deposits;
check the authenticity of pages and groups;
report fakes to warn others.
Currently, scammers are making their copies as realistic as possible — even the style and logos match. Therefore, caution is the best protection.
Protect your funds. There are no 'easy doubles'.
