Welcome to the Binance community,

Many of you buy cryptocurrencies through peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, but not everyone knows how scammers can deceive you. Before it's too late, I would like to share some important tips about **who to buy from and why**.

As you know, Binance has long classified trustworthy traders with a **"Diamond"** badge on their accounts. While these sellers often offer cryptocurrencies at slightly higher prices, I strongly advise buying **only from accounts with the diamond badge**.

Why? Because it's better to pay a little extra and **receive your cryptocurrencies safely** rather than risk losing everything to a scammer.

Stay safe and trade smart.
