URGENT: Stay Safe from Binance P2P Scams!
Dear Binance Community,
P2P trading is a convenient way to buy and sell crypto—but it's also a hotspot for scams. Protect yourself by staying informed and cautious.
🔥 Top P2P Scams to Watch Out For
1️⃣ "I Sent the Money, But No Crypto Received" (Buyer Scam)
What happens: You transfer payment, but the seller vanishes.
How to protect yourself:
Only trade with verified users (check ratings and completion rate).
Never mark a trade as complete until the crypto lands in your wallet.
Got scammed? Appeal immediately—Binance can freeze the seller’s funds.
2️⃣ "Fake Payment Proof" (Seller Scam)
What happens: The buyer sends a fake receipt or screenshot.
How to protect yourself:
Always confirm actual payment in your bank account before releasing crypto.
Watch for pressure tactics—don’t rush.
3️⃣ "Let’s Take This to WhatsApp/Telegram" (Off-platform Scam)
What happens: Scammers ask to move the trade off Binance to avoid platform protections.
How to protect yourself:
Never communicate or trade outside Binance P2P.
Report anyone suggesting off-platform contact immediately.
