How can I protect myself from scams on Binance?:
Protecting yourself from scams on Binance —and in the crypto world in general— requires attention, common sense, and some good practices. Here are the most important recommendations:
1. Be wary of unofficial contacts: Binance will never contact you via WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, or other social networks to offer you support, investments, or giveaways. If someone does, it is a scam.
2. Do not share sensitive information: Never send your password, private keys, QR codes, or facial videos to anyone. Scammers often ask for this information to "verify your account" and then steal your funds.
3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): It is an essential extra layer of security. Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy, and avoid SMS 2FA if possible.
4. Always verify links: Make sure you are on the official Binance site (https://www.binance.com). Do not click on links from suspicious emails or messages. Use [Binance Verify](https://www.binance.com/es-LA/blog/all/aprende-sobre-estafas-prot%C3%A9gete-de-las-estafas-de-impostores-8186206274508844717) to check the authenticity of emails and links.
5. Avoid fake apps: Download the Binance app only from official sources like Google Play, App Store, or the Binance website.
6. Consult directly with support: If you have doubts, contact the official support from the app or the website. Do not respond to messages from supposed agents who write to you on social networks.
7. Stay informed and alert: Binance has an [educational page about scams](https://www.binance.com/es-LA/blog/all/aprende-sobre-estafas-prot%C3%A9gete-de-las-estafas-de-impostores-8186206274508844717) with real examples and tips to recognize warning signs.
If you ever suspect that you have been a victim of a scam, act quickly: change your passwords, freeze your account if necessary, and contact official support.
