šØ SCAM ALERT: Beware of SMS Spoofing Impersonation šØ
š± A highly deceptive scam has emerged in early 2025 where fraudsters are spoofing Binanceās official SMS threadsāusing the same number you trust to send verification codesāto appear authentic .
Hereās how it plays out:
1. You receive what looks like a verified Binance SMS claiming your account is āhigh-riskā or under unauthorized access.
2. The message includes a phone number prompting you to call "Binance support."
3. On the call, a scammerāsometimes with a convincing accentāurges you to create a SafePal wallet, claiming it's a Binance partner.
4. They pressure you to transfer all your assets for "security verification", often providing false reassurance via fake "articles."
5. Victims realize too late it's a scam when they lose funds and struggle to reverse transactions .
How to Stay Safe:
ā Never trust SMS messages or caller IDsāeven if they come from Binance's usual number.
ā Hang up and verify by contacting Binance directly through the official app or website.
š Enable 2āFA, never share private keys/seed phrases, and maintain browser/app hygiene.
ā ļø Watch out for urgency: scammers create panic to bypass caution. Slow down and verify first
