Stay Strong, Mehdi. You're Not Alone — Learn & Recover.
First off, I’m really sorry to hear what happened to you. No one deserves to lose their hard-earned money like that. Scams like these are becoming more advanced, and it could happen to anyone.
Here are some important lessons and tips to protect yourself and others:
1. Always double-check email senders. If you get a code or link, make sure it’s from an official address (like @openai.com or @binance.com).
2. Never enter codes unless you initiated the request. Scammers trick users into giving away codes by mimicking trusted services.
3. Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) using an app like Google Authenticator — not SMS — for stronger protection.
4. Report any suspicious activity to Binance Support and your email provider immediately.
5. Change passwords regularly, and never reuse the same one across platforms.
To others reading this: Always pause and verify. If something feels off, trust your gut. Scammers prey on urgency and trust.
To Mehdi: This is a hard lesson, but don’t give up. Many have bounced back stronger — you can too. Learn, recover, and rebuild. You're not finished — you're just getting started again, wiser this time.
Stay safe, everyone.
