Binance P2P has become one of the most widely used crypto trading platforms in Pakistan. However, with its growing popularity comes an increasing wave of scams targeting inexperienced traders. Every week, users report losing funds, facing frozen bank accounts, or getting tricked by fake payments.


Let’s explore how these scams operate — and how you can protect yourself. 🚨





🔍 Understanding the Problem


P2P (peer-to-peer) trading allows users to buy and sell crypto directly using local bank transfers. While Binance offers an escrow system for protection, scammers continue to find loopholes — particularly when traders communicate or transact outside the platform.



⚠️ Top P2P Scams in Pakistan


1️⃣ Fake Payment Proof Scam

Fraudsters send fake bank transfer screenshots to pressure sellers into releasing crypto. Always confirm funds directly in your bank account — never trust screenshots.


2️⃣ Third-Party Bank Scam

Scammers pay using someone else’s account. When the actual account holder reports it, your bank account may get frozen during the investigation.


3️⃣ Overpayment Trap

They "accidentally" send extra funds and ask for a refund. Later, the original payment is reversed — resulting in a double loss for you.


4️⃣ Off-Platform Deals

Some scammers invite you to trade on WhatsApp or Telegram, offering better rates. Once you send crypto, they vanish — leaving you with no recourse.


5️⃣ Account Freeze Fraud

Scammers may use stolen bank accounts to make payments. When reported, your account gets frozen, even if you did nothing wrong.





🚫 Real Cases from Pakistan


Dozens of users have shared real experiences of frozen bank accounts and financial losses due to these scams. Many were deceived by fake “verified” traders using stolen IDs or convincing payment screenshots.




✅ How to Protect Yourself


✔️ Verify payments inside your bank account before releasing crypto.

✔️ Accept payments only from accounts matching the buyer’s Binance name.

✔️ Avoid off-platform communication; stay within Binance chat.

✔️ Report any suspicious activity immediately.

✔️ Trade only with verified merchants who have high completion rates.

✔️ Keep records of every trade — chats, receipts, and screenshots.

✔️ Never refund overpayments without Binance support’s approval.



🧠 Final Thoughts


Binance P2P is a powerful and secure tool — but only when used correctly.

Scammers thrive on urgency and trust. Stay calm, verify every detail, and never release your crypto until the payment is fully cleared.


💬 Stay alert. Stay smart. Trade safe.
