Binance P2P Scam – Most Dangerous Tricks and How to Avoid Them (2025)
🚨The Latest and Most Dangerous P2P Scams – What You MUST Know
Millions of traders on Binance P2P are falling for new scam waves. Scammers are increasingly clever, targeting users with tactics like these:
1️⃣ Fake Payment Proof Scam
Scammer sends realistic but fake payment screenshots.
You release crypto before money actually arrives in your account.
Real 2025 example: Trader released USDT after seeing a PKR50,000 payment screenshot — but their bank balance was still zero!.
2️⃣ Chargeback Scam
Payment made using PayPal or bank card.
After you release crypto, scammer reverses the payment.
You lose crypto, and the money is gone!
3️⃣ Off-Platform Trap
Scammer tries to lure you onto WhatsApp/Telegram for “no fee” deals.
You send crypto without Binance escrow; buyer disappears instantly.
4️⃣ Overpayment Trick (2025’s Famous Trap!)
Scammer “accidentally” sends extra funds.
Requests a refund for the overpaid amount.
Later, bank reverses the original payment — you lose what you refunded!
Real case: Seller received PKR70,000 on a PKR50,000 deal, sent back PKR20,000, then lost all PKR70,000 when the bank reversed it.
5️⃣ Phishing & Account Takeover (Trending in 2025)
Scammer sends fake Binance emails or suspicious links.
Clicking the link compromises your account; crypto drained instantly.
Never click unknown links. Only log in through the official Binance website. Enable strong 2FA security!
6️⃣ Pump & Dump Groups
Groups promise high returns and “secret signals.”
Price pumps briefly, insiders dump, price crashes. Don’t trust hype!
