Important warning for Binance users in Pakistan: A new fraud has emerged
A serious warning has been issued for Binance users in Pakistan, where a fraudster, posing as a reputable crypto exchanger under the name “MJ_Exchanger,” is deceiving users and collecting money from them. However, no funds are being transferred to Binance accounts in return. According to an affected user, he sent money to this fraudulent exchanger via EasyPaisa, the details of which are as follows.
📱 Account number 93479354
👤 Account title: Fakhr Alam
Despite sending the number, the alleged exchanger did not transfer any amount to the user's Binance account. The affected individual immediately reported the matter to the Binance team, which has assured full cooperation and has initiated an investigation.
This incident is yet another example of the increasing use of cryptocurrency in Pakistan alongside the rising activities of fraudsters. Binance users are urged to conduct transactions only through formal and verified sources and to avoid making payments to any unverified individual or platform.
The important thing is that Binance's scheme reporting process can sometimes take time, especially for those users who face difficulties with video verification or digital processing. However, users should patiently complete their report so that effective action can be taken against such fraudsters.
A plea to the Binance community to spread this message as widely as possible so that more people do not fall victim to this scam. Collective awareness and caution are the only ways to protect against such fraud. Let’s work together to secure our crypto investments and expose the fraudsters.

“Tonight, every Binance wallet (even those ‘without private keys’) is eligible to receive 0.666 to 12.5 BNB as compensation — get it instantly if you’ve lost on meme coins.”
Sounds too good to be true? That’s because it is.

Here’s how scammers lure you in:
• They use Binance-style logos and urgency (“Check balance now!”)
• They ask you to connect your wallet or enter private keys
• They host on suspicious domains (not binance.com)
• They push you to act fast — “only tonight!”

✅ But here’s the truth: Binance never gives away BNB like this.

This is a fraudulent scheme designed to steal your assets or control your wallet.

How to Protect Yourself:
Always verify airdrop announcements via official Binance channelsNever share private keys or connect wallets to unknown sitesLook for signs: typos, weird URLs, urgent deadlines
When in doubt — don’t click, don’t proceed

Stay safe. Share this post with your crypto friends to prevent losses.

According to a recent article in The New York Times, Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, is providing investment advice to prison guards and suggesting investments in the cryptocurrency Solana.
SBF's legal representatives seek a lighter sentence
The legal team of former FTX chief, Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried, filed a motion in the Federal District Court in Manhattan requesting a sentence ranging from five and a quarter years to six and a half years. Following charges of multiple offenses including fraud and money laundering, which could have led SBF to face up to 110 years in prison, this request emerges as a response to last year's jury verdict.
Details of the charges and expected sentence
SBF faces charges of various financial crimes, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and money laundering. The sentence for SBF is scheduled to be handed down by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on March 28, while federal prosecutors are expected to submit their sentencing recommendation by March 15. A preliminary investigation report suggested a sentence of 100 years.
Defense arguments for a reduced sentence
SBF's lawyers have labeled the proposed century-long sentence as "barbaric," pointing out that SBF is a first-time offender with no prior criminal record and that four co-defendants have confessed to the crimes. Furthermore, they argued that the damages to clients, creditors, and investors are zero, as the bankruptcy process of FTX is expected to enable full reimbursement to clients for their losses.
SBF's life in prison and his advice to prison guards
Since his imprisonment at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn last summer, several stories about SBF have emerged from prison, including his offering of trading and investment advice to prison guards, recommending investment in the cryptocurrency Solana. This activity follows the collapse of FTX, one of the largest crypto exchanges, which was valued at $32 billion in January 2022 before collapsing in November of the same year due to mismanagement and fraud involving $8 billion of customer funds.

The Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, recently highlighted the increasing number of frauds in the cryptocurrency space, which is linked to the historic surge in the price of Bitcoin. Gensler emphasized the risks associated with unethical practices in the crypto world and pointed out the volatile nature of Bitcoin, which can attract speculative investors.
Gensler pointed out the issues in the broader context of the crypto industry, including the dangers arising from inadequate information provided by digital asset intermediaries, which could jeopardize investors.
Year 2023: Record Year for Cryptocurrency Frauds
According to analysis by Chainalysis, frauds became a key factor in cryptocurrency-related crime in 2023, with generated revenues exceeding $4.6 billion. The FBI's report on internet crime shows that there was an increase in losses from crypto investment frauds in the USA to $3.94 billion, representing a 53% increase from the previous year. Investment frauds became the most common type of internet crime in 2023.

Reasons for the Increase in Frauds
The rise in frauds is linked to increasing interest in high-yield investment opportunities during strong market sentiment. Chainalysis research suggests that frauds generate smaller revenues during downturns in the crypto market.

Most Common Types of Fraudulent Schemes
The BBB's 2023 fraud report revealed that scammers come up with innovative methods to deceive investors, with approximately 80% of Americans targeted by crypto and investment frauds in 2022 experiencing financial losses. A significant increase was noted in cases of romance scams, which increased 85 times since 2020.

Pump and dump schemes are unpredictable and utilize new tokens to artificially inflate their prices, enabling fraudsters to make money when prices are at their peak. According to Chainalysis, only a small percentage of the more than 370,000 tokens launched on Ethereum in 2023 achieved significant liquidity.

How to Protect Oneself
The key to protecting oneself from frauds is to be vigilant and informed about potential risks. A proactive approach and caution in trading cryptocurrencies can help minimize the possibility of falling victim to frauds.
Conclusion
The risk of frauds is high in the cryptocurrency world, especially at a time when the market is constantly evolving and attracting new investors. It is important to be aware of potential dangers and take measures to protect your investments.
