Beware of Small Unexpected Transfers on Binance Pay – Protect Your Funds!
Recently, some users have reported receiving small unexpected transfers on Binance Pay with notes recommending unfamiliar websites. This is a common scam tactic designed to lure you into clicking malicious links, potentially compromising your account and funds.
Please stay vigilant and never trust transfer notes or links from unknown senders. Scammers often use small transfers as bait to trick users into visiting phishing sites or downloading harmful software, leading to financial loss.
To safeguard your assets, we recommend the following precautions:
Do not click on any unfamiliar links, especially those included in transfer notes.
Verify the source of any unexpected transfers and remain cautious.
Enable security features such as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and transaction passwords.
Report any suspicious transactions promptly through official Binance channels.
Regularly update your passwords and avoid using simple or repeated passwords.
Binance is committed to providing a secure and trustworthy trading environment. We encourage all users to stay alert, protect their digital assets, and help maintain a safe community. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Binance customer support.
Security is no small matter—protecting your assets starts with vigilance!

Dear Binancian,
This post is intended for those who have not set up a Binance Anti-Phishing Code.
If you haven't set up your own Anti-Phishing Code in the Security Center, we will use your Binance User ID (UID) number by default and attach it to the SMS messages that Binance sends to you. This helps differentiate legitimate messages from phishing SMS messages sent by scammers.
Your UID can be found at the top left hand icon in your app.
We highly recommend setting up your own Anti-Phishing Code, as it is easier for you to memorize and recognize, providing you better protection. Always check the Anti-Phishing Code or UID number in SMS messages to avoid falling victim to phishing attacks.

Please be aware that this feature is being rolled out gradually. It will be available in more countries soon.

Beware of scams using "Binance Market Maker" as bait.

🚨 Scam Alert: I3q.com Is a Fraudulent Trading Platform

I3q.com claims to use “AI-powered trading” to help users earn profits — but it’s a scam.

💬 Users were lured in through YouTube and other social media ads, promising fake returns like:
“Daily 2% gains” or “Guaranteed 1.5% profits”.
🎯 The reality? Once users deposit funds, they are unable to withdraw, and the platform eventually disappears.

🔒 Protect Yourself:
✅Be wary of “too good to be true” returns
✅Do not trust platforms promoted by unverified YouTube influencers
✅Always verify licenses and withdrawal transparency
✅Use only trusted and regulated trading platforms

📢 Share this post to help others avoid falling for fake AI trading schemes.

🎁 “Scan to Get $10!”
🧠 Translation: “Scan to Give $10…”
🚨 Scam alert!
Scammers are putting fake “Reward QR codes” out there, saying you’ll receive $10… but when you scan it, you’re actually sending $10 instead.
💸 That’s not a reward — that’s a withdrawal from your dignity AND your wallet.
🔍 Remember:
On Binance, scanning a QR code is used to make a payment, not to receive one.
If someone says otherwise — 🚩 it's a scam.
📢 Stay sharp, not sorry.

Crypto holders must adopt proactive security practices, including reducing online exposure, enhancing social media privacy, and practicing situational awareness to protect themselves and their assets.

✅ Never share your screen
✅ Never install remote apps like AnyDesk or TeamViewer
✅ Always verify through official Binance channels

If someone asks to remotely access your account — it’s a scam.
Stay alert. Stay secure. 💡

⚠️ Risks of Accepting Payments from Third-Party Accounts in P2P Transactions

Accepting payments from accounts that do not belong to your direct counterparty in P2P transactions can expose you to significant risks, including but not limited to:

1. Fraud Risk
Payments made from someone else’s account may be unauthorized and linked to fraudulent activity. If the account owner identifies the transaction as unauthorized, they may request a chargeback or initiate a dispute with the bank or payment provider.

2. Money Laundering Risk
Funds transferred from third-party accounts may be part of a money laundering scheme. Criminals may use P2P platforms to move illicit funds across various accounts to disguise their origins.

3. Legal Liability
Receiving funds from stolen or unauthorized accounts could implicate you in illegal activity. You may be considered an accomplice or facilitator of financial crime, leading to legal consequences.

4. Account Freezing
Banks or payment providers may flag such transactions as suspicious, resulting in temporary or permanent freezing of your account during an investigation. This can limit your access to funds and harm your financial standing.

✅ Best Practices to Minimize Risk

1. Verify Payment Source: Ensure that all payments come directly from the counterparty’s own account, not from any third party.

2. Use In-Platform Payment Tools: When possible, use the platform’s built-in payment system to add an extra layer of security and traceability.

3. Keep Detailed Records: Save all transaction details and communication logs in case of disputes or investigations.

4. Follow Platform Guidelines: Adhere strictly to the platform’s rules and safety recommendations to protect yourself.

By following these precautions, you can significantly reduce your exposure to financial and legal risks in P2P transactions.

🚨 If it promises "get rich quick" and "guaranteed returns," it's a scam. Real investments carry risk. Stay vigilant and protect your money.

⚠️ Job Scam Alert
If someone asks you to click a strange link, place a “quick order” or send a screenshot — it’s likely a scam.
Never follow job opportunity from unknown contacts.
Stay safe. Ignore, block, and report.
