Don't Get Scammed by Fake Binance Balances
As cryptocurrency becomes more mainstream, so do scams targeting unsuspecting users. One common trick is the fake Binance balance scam. Here’s how it works and how you can protect yourself.
Scammers often send screenshots or fake web interfaces showing inflated Binance wallet balances. These are designed to trick people into trusting them — especially in peer-to-peer (P2P) trades or investment schemes. In some cases, they’ll offer to "send" crypto after you send yours first, using the fake balance as false proof of funds.
How to Stay Safe:
Never trust screenshots: Always verify balances within the actual Binance app or website.
Use Binance P2P or escrow services: They offer protection during trades.
Enable 2FA and withdrawal whitelist: Secure your account to prevent unauthorized access.
Double-check URLs: Make sure you’re on the official Binance website.
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Stay alert and protect your assets.
