🔍 1. Understand Common P2P Scams

Here are the most common scams on Binance P2P:

⚠️ Fake Payment Proof

The scammer uploads a fake payment receipt and pressures you to release crypto.

⚠️ Chargeback Scams

They use reversible payment methods (e.g., PayPal, bank transfer) and request a chargeback after receiving your crypto.

⚠️ Social Engineering

Scammer pretends to be customer service or uses emotional pressure to rush the deal.

⚠️ Impersonation

The scammer sends payment from a third-party account, violating Binance rules (payment must come from the buyer's verified account).

✅ 2. Best Practices to Stay Safe

🔒 Only Trade With Verified Users

Look for traders with high completion rates (90%+), high volume, and positive feedback.

Check how long they’ve been active on Binance.

🔍 Always Verify Payment Before Releasing Crypto

Never release crypto until the money is 100% in your bank account and confirmed by your bank, not just based on a screenshot.

🚫 Don’t Accept Third-Party Payments

Binance P2P terms prohibit payments from accounts not matching the buyer’s name.

If you receive funds from a different name, cancel the trade and report it.

🧾 Document Everything

Keep screenshots and records of conversations and payments.

If something goes wrong, this is critical for Binance customer support.

🧠 Use Common Sense

If the deal feels too good to be true, it probably is.

Don't trade outside Binance P2P. Scammers may try to lure you to WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.

🚨 3. If You’ve Been Scammed – What to Do

📣 Contact Binance Support

🛑 Report the User

Go to the user’s profile and click “Report.”

This helps Binance flag their account and prevent future scams.

🏦 Contact Your Bank

If you sent funds, call your bank immediately. You may be able to reverse or trace the transfer, especially if it was recent.
