Binance P2P Scam Alert for Pakistani Users 🇵🇰⚠️

Dear Pakistani Binance Community,

Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading offers great opportunities, but it also attracts scammers targeting unsuspecting users. Recent reports highlight risks like fake payments, account blocks, and chargeback frauds, especially for Pakistani traders. Here’s how to stay safe:

🔍 Key Safety Tips

1. Trade Only with Verified Users

- Prioritize sellers/buyers with yellow verification badges and high trust scores on Binance P2P .

- Avoid new accounts with few transactions or low completion rates (<80%) .

2. Check Profiles Thoroughly

- Review trade history, feedback, and ratings before transacting. Scammers often impersonate trusted traders .

- Be wary of offers that seem **"too good to be true"** (e.g., rates far above market prices) .

3. Never Leave Binance P2P

- Do NOT communicate or share payments via WhatsApp, SMS, or social media. Scammers lure users off-platform to bypass Binance’s escrow protection .

- Binance will **never ask for your password/2FA** via chat. Only use official support channels .

4. Confirm Payments Directly

- Check your bank account/wallet for received funds—never rely on screenshots or SMS proofs, which can be faked .

- For large amounts, double-check transaction details with your bank .

5. Report Suspicious Activity

- If a buyer/seller pressures you to release crypto early or cancel orders, report them immediately via Binance’s dispute system .

🚨 Red Flags

- Requests to pay via third-party accounts or reversible methods (e.g., PayPal, credit cards) .

- Buyers sending partial/extra payments or sellers asking for "additional fees" .

- Threats or scare tactics (e.g., "Selling crypto is illegal") .
