A trader recently sold 700 USDT (~PKR 205,000) via Binance P2P—payment seemed successful and even landed in their bank account. But within 10 days, the bank froze the account, locking the funds. The buyer went silent, only responding with “chain dispute” on WhatsApp when contacted.
Despite having solid evidence—CNIC copy, transaction screenshots, chat logs, and a formal application with the bank—the trader is now stuck in limbo.
Common P2P Scam Tactics in Pakistan:
Fake Payment Proofs: Edited screenshots or SMS-style alerts that look real, but aren’t. Sellers release crypto without confirming the actual bank deposit.
Third-Party or Unauthorized Payments: Even when funds appear received, they’re from someone else’s account—and can be disputed or reversed.
Reversal Scams: After crypto is released, the buyer reports mistaken or fraudulent transfer, triggering a bank freeze—even for innocent sellers.
Pressure Tactics: Scammers push for immediate release of crypto—playing on fear and urgency to trick you into moving too fast.
How to Protect Yourself:
1. Always verify funds in your own bank account or wallet before releasing crypto—not just a screenshot or message.
2. Avoid third-party payments completely—funds must come directly from the buyer's verified account.
3. Use only Binance’s escrow and official chat system—never move the conversation off-platform (e.g., WhatsApp or Telegram).
4. Trade only with high-rated, verified traders—prioritize profiles with strong trade history and positive feedback.
5. Keep all evidence: Save chat logs, screenshots, transaction IDs, and bank messages. You're building your defense if something goes wrong.
6. Never let anyone rush you—scammers thrive on creating panic to make you release crypto before you're sure.
7. Stay updated with scam alerts and security advice on Binance.
Final Reminder:
In 2024, over 11,000 bank accounts in Pakistan were frozen due to P2P fraud—innocent users caught in the fallout.
In 2025, it’s more crucial than ever to trust less, verify more, and always stay extra cautious on Binance P2P.

Overview: P2P Trading & Account Blocked
Easypaisa accounts in #Pakistan are being blocked due to unverified or suspicious P2P (Peer-to-Peer) transactions involving Binance. But there's good news: this can be resolved with the right steps.
Users are advised to contact the Easypaisa helpline, provide transaction details (date, sender, amount), and verify whether the payment came from a trusted Binance P2P trader.
Steps to Reopen a Blocked Easypaisa Account
1. Call Easypaisa support, gather transaction details (date, sender name, transaction ID).
2. Verify with the P2P trader—ask for their CNIC. If they refuse, report to Binance, which can conduct a review and provide verified details.
3. Create a proof of sale using Canva or similar—receipt should reflect matching date, amount, and product/service description.
4. Draft a justification letter, handwritten and signed, explaining the sale (keeping details consistent with the receipt).
5. Compile all documents (CNIC front/back, receipt, justification letter, payment screenshot, sender’s CNIC) into one PDF file, with each image under 100 KB.
6. Email the compiled PDF to Easypaisa support with your personal details (name, CNIC, phone). Expect an auto-reply, followed by a complaint ID and account reopening timeline.
