These scams are real, it happened to a colleague… and it can happen to you.
Juan is an average user. He is 38 years old, works all day, and is just entering the crypto world.
He wanted to buy 100 USDT to save. He opened Binance P2P, found an offer at a good price and 97% positive ratings.
Everything seemed safe… until everything went wrong.
😨 The story of Juan (and what you should know):
💳 He made the transfer and pressed "Payment made" as the seller asked.
But the money never arrived. The seller disappeared.
He opened a dispute. Binance said he had to wait. And wait.
When they finally responded… the case was rejected.
📱 The seller had contacted him via WhatsApp before:
He asked for "a selfie with the ID" for security reasons.
Then he used that information to open fake accounts in his name.
Juan not only lost his money… but also his identity.
❌ And the worst?
All this is happening within Binance, and yet…
🚫 No one stops them.
⚠️ There is no punishment for the cheaters.
😡 You could be next.
⚠️ These are some traps that scammers use every day on Binance P2P:
1. "The price is good, but they transfer you less"
If you don't check the exact amount, you lose money and can't claim.
2. "They take you off Binance to talk on WhatsApp"
Once you're out, they pressure you, manipulate you… and you are left unprotected.
3. "They block you for being a foreigner or asking too many questions"
There is silent discrimination that no one regulates.
4. "They post fake accounts with good ratings"
They use bots or inflated volume to seem trustworthy… and you fall.
5. "They rush you to confirm before receiving"
Haste is their best weapon. If you confirm before having the money, you can't go back.
🤬 Until when?
Should Binance intervene more forcefully?
Or is it no longer safe to use P2P for average users?
