Recently, a trader sold 700 USDT (~$205,000 ARS) through Binance P2P. The payment appeared in their bank account and everything seemed correct.
👉 But 10 days later, the bank froze the account and blocked the funds.
The buyer never responded again, except with an excuse via WhatsApp.
This type of fraud is growing in Argentina, and innocent users end up caught in the middle.
🔴 Common P2P scam tactics in Argentina
📲 Fake payment receipts: edited screenshots or fake SMS that look real. If you release the crypto without seeing the actual deposit in your account, you lose everything.
🏦 Third-party payments: the money comes from an account that does not match the one verified on Binance. Later it may be unknown or reversed.
⏪ Reversal scams: after releasing, the buyer reports the transfer as 'fraudulent' and the bank freezes your account.
⚡ Pressure tactics: messages urging you to release, generating fear and urgency to trap you.
🛡️ How to protect yourself on Binance P2P (Argentina version)
✅ Confirm in your online banking the actual entry of money before releasing crypto.
🚫 Never accept payments from third parties. The account holder must be the same as on Binance.
💬 Use only the official Binance chat. No WhatsApp, Telegram, or external networks.
⭐ Operate with verified users and with a good reputation. Check history and comments.
📂 Keep everything: chats, receipts, transaction IDs, and bank messages.
🕒 Don't let yourself be rushed. If they pressure you, it's already a sign of a scam.
🔔 Follow Binance security alerts and stay informed.
📌 Alarming fact: in 2024, thousands of bank accounts in Argentina were blocked due to suspicious P2P operations, leaving innocent traders without access to their money.
👉 In 2025, the rule is clear:
Trust less, verify more, and never release crypto until you are 100% sure.
