I was scammed on Binance P2P.
As a newcomer to Binance, I sold $630 worth of USDT to a user named "24tranders". He transferred approximately 2.65 lakh PKR to my two Pakistani bank accounts, but the transfers were made under three different names. Later, I found out that this money was sent from bank accounts hacked by the scammer.
The victims of the hacking filed complaints with the FIA, which led to the freezing of my bank accounts and accounts of others involved. The investigation seems to be dragging on with no clear resolution in sight.
I currently have around 8 lakh PKR stuck in these frozen accounts, and I’m desperate to get it back. I contacted my bank to ask who the investigating officer is, but they said they haven’t received any details from the FIA yet.
My advice to others:
Never trade on Binance P2P with users who don’t have a Verified Badge.
Make sure their account shows the message "Security Amount Deposited".
Always confirm that the name on Binance matches the sender's bank account name.
I also have the phone numbers of the three people whose hacked accounts were used to send me money, but unfortunately, they believe I was the one who hacked them using their OTPs and passwords.
If anyone can help me or has faced something similar, please reach out.#scamriskwarning
