I was scammed on Binance P2P. Please read and be cautious.
As a newcomer to Binance, I sold $630 worth of USDT through P2P to a user with the username “24tranders.” He transferred approximately PKR 265,000 to my two Pakistani bank accounts—using three different names.
Later, I discovered that the money came from hacked bank accounts. The real account holders reported the fraud to the FIA, which resulted in my bank accounts—along with others—being frozen as part of the ongoing investigation. There’s no clear timeline for when this will be resolved.
Currently, I have about PKR 800,000 stuck in these frozen accounts, and I’m doing everything I can to recover it. I’ve contacted my bank multiple times to ask who the investigating officer is, but they’ve said they haven’t received any update from the FIA.
Please learn from my experience:
Never trade P2P on Binance with users who don’t have a Verified Badge or Security Deposit.
Always double-check that the sender’s name matches on both Binance and the bank transfer.
I have the phone numbers of the three individuals whose accounts were used to send me money. Sadly, they believe I’m the one who hacked them and accessed their OTPs.
If anyone has any advice or can help me in any way, please reach out.
