🚀Binance P2P traders, listen up—there’s a rising wave of scams making rounds, especially here in Pakistan. Scammers are getting craftier, and one misstep could cost you your crypto and bank funds. Here's the latest breakdown, how it works, and how to stay safe.
🔥The Scam Unveiled: How They’re Doing It.
1. The "Mistaken Transfer" Freeze Trap
A buyer sends money from a bank account—your bank app shows the funds in your account. You release your USDT. But later, the buyer reports the transfer as “mistaken,” and your account gets frozen. You lose both your crypto and the money.
This scheme is hitting sellers hard across Pakistan.
2. Fake Payment Screenshots & Reversed Transfers
Scammers share doctored screenshots or app notifications. You release your crypto based on the fake proof, only to find no actual funds. By then, the scammer is gone.
3. Third‑Party Account Payments & Chargebacks
A buyer sends payment from someone else’s account—either stolen or rented. Later, the real account owner claims fraud. The banks reverse the payment or freeze your account, and you’re left empty-handed.
4. Phishing, Escrow Tricks & Fake Support.
Scammers impersonate Binance support or send phishing links to “verify” your USDT or account. These lead to wallet drains or stolen login info. Remember: Binance never asks for your private keys, passwords, or OTPs via chat.
5. Fake Listings & Bait‑and‑Switch Tactics.
Some scammers copy legitimate listings, tweak a few details, and lure you in. By the time you notice, they’ve vanished.

👍Top Tips:🔥🔥
Use Binance’s escrow—crypto releases only after both parties confirm payment.
Match the payment account name to the buyer’s verified KYC name. No match? Walk away.
Avoid clicking on “verification” links—especially on external DApps or sites. They’re often scams.
