A highly sophisticated scam is targeting Binance P2P users, especially newcomers. Victims lose both their crypto AND fiat in one swoop. Here’s how it works:
### 🔍 The Scam Breakdown
1️⃣ Scammer places a P2P buy order (usually USDT)
2️⃣ You receive "payment" – A real-looking bank transfer hits your account
3️⃣ You release crypto – Seeing the funds, you send USDT
4️⃣ They reverse the payment – Scammer disputes the transaction with their bank
5️⃣ You get wrecked – Bank claws back the money, scammer keeps your crypto
### 🎯 Who’s at Risk?
- New P2P traders
- Anyone who trusts payment alerts without 100% verification
- Users who rush trades
### 🛡️ HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
✔ ONLY trade with high-verification merchants (check reviews + trade count)
✔ NEVER release crypto based on SMS/screenshots – Open your bank app to confirm funds are irreversible
✔ RED FLAGS: Buyers rushing you, "too good to be true" offers, requests to chat off-platform
✔ STAY ON BINANCE – No WhatsApp/Telegram! No sharing personal info!
✔ HIT "APPEAL" if anything feels off – Let Binance support investigate
### ⚠️ ONE MISTAKE = TOTAL LOSS
P2P is safe if you follow the rules. Verify twice, trade once.
