I got scammed on Binance P2P — please learn from my mistake.
As a newcomer to Binance, I sold $630 worth of USDT to a user named "24tranders". He transferred around 2.65 lakh PKR to my two Pakistani bank accounts using three different names.
Later I found out that the money came from hacked bank accounts. The real account holders filed a complaint with FIA, and as a result, my accounts were frozen — along with some others. The investigation is still ongoing, and there's no clear end in sight.
I have around 8 lakh PKR stuck in those accounts, and I’m trying everything to get them released. I even asked the bank about the investigating officer, but they haven’t received any updates from FIA yet.
My advice:
Always trade with users who have a Verified Badge
Make sure the “Security Amount Deposited” tag is visible
And most importantly, confirm that the Binance username matches the sender’s bank account name
I have the phone numbers of the three individuals who sent the funds, but they assume I hacked them — they believe I stole their OTPs and passwords.
Please be cautious. And if anyone knows how to help in such a case — please reach out.
