P2P Scam Alert: Don’t Lose Your Crypto!
Scammers are getting smarter — and P2P trading is one of their favorite hunting grounds. If you’re not careful, you could lose your funds in a blink.
Here’s how most P2P scams work:
1. Fake Payment Proofs: The scammer uploads a fake screenshot of a "completed" bank transfer and pressures you to release the crypto.
2. Reversed Payments: Some scammers use stolen bank accounts. Once the real owner disputes the transaction, the payment is reversed — and you’re left with nothing.
3. Overpayments & Refund Traps: They “accidentally” send more and then ask for a refund. Once you send it back, they reverse the first payment.
4. Impersonation: Some pretend to be support agents or buyers from a trusted group. Always confirm identities!
5. Third-Party Payments: They make the payment from someone else’s bank account. Binance strictly prohibits this and could flag your account.
How to protect yourself:
• Always wait for actual bank confirmation, not screenshots.
• Trade only with verified users and high ratings.
• Never share personal info or codes with buyers.
• Use Binance’s chat feature only — stay away from WhatsApp or Telegram.
• Follow Binance’s P2P rules and safety tips.
Your safety is in your hands. Stay alert. Stay protected.
