Binance is one of the most trusted and popular cryptocurrency exchanges in the world โ but that doesnโt mean Binance P2P is 100% scam-proof. Scammers are now more advanced than ever, using clever tricks to fool innocent users.
If youโre using Binance P2P to buy or sell USDT or other crypto, this guide is for you. Here's how scams happen and how to protect yourself.

โ ๏ธ Common P2P Scam Techniques:
---
1. ๐ฐ Fake Payment Screenshot Scam
Scammers send you a fake screenshot showing theyโve transferred the money to your bank account.
Then they say something like:
> โIโm in a hurry, please release the USDT.โ
If you release the crypto without checking your bank account properly, youโll soon realize โ it was a scam.
---
2. ๐ฆ Delayed or No Bank Transfer
They pretend to make a transfer but the money never actually arrives.
Some even show a โscheduledโ transfer screenshot. Again, no money comes in โ but your crypto is gone.
---
3. ๐ค Hacked or Fake Accounts
Scammers may use hacked Binance accounts or stolen identities.
Even if you receive a payment, the real account owner may dispute the transaction โ and your crypto can get locked or reversed.
---
4. ๐ Off-Platform Communication
If someone says:
> โLetโs talk on WhatsApp or Telegram. Itโll be easier.โ
Big red flag! ๐ฉ
Always communicate only within the Binance platform.
---
5. ๐ Reversible Payment Methods (e.g., JazzCash / Easypaisa Frauds)
Some local payment apps allow reversals.
A scammer can pay via JazzCash or Easypaisa, take the USDT, and then complain to reverse the payment, leaving you with nothing.

โ How to Stay Safe:
๐ Never release crypto without confirming the payment in your bank account or mobile banking app.
๐งพ Always check your transaction history, not just SMS or screenshots.
โ Donโt give in to pressure. Scammers often say โIโm in a hurryโ to rush you.
๐ก Stay within Binance chat. Donโt move to external platforms.
โ๏ธ If something feels wrong, open an Appeal immediately on Binance.
