The rise in P2P (peer-to-peer) trading scams is becoming a serious threat for crypto users. Scammers are getting more advanced and manipulative — and even experienced traders are falling into their traps.
If you’re using Binance P2P or any platform that involves direct crypto-to-fiat trades, it’s extremely important to stay alert.
⚠️ Here’s How the Scam Works:
Step 1: You place a P2P order and complete the fiat payment to the seller.
Step 2: The scam begins — you might get a phone call or a message (often on Telegram or WhatsApp) from someone claiming there was a payment issue. They’ll try to convince you to cancel the order so they can “refund” you.
Step 3: For cautious users, scammers take it further — they impersonate Binance customer support and send a fake Web Login QR code. If you scan it, they gain access to your account and steal your crypto.
These scams are fast, manipulative, and well-organized.
🛡 How to Protect Yourself:
✅ Never cancel a P2P order after making payment
✅ Do not trust messages or calls from Telegram, WhatsApp, or random numbers
✅ Binance will never ask you to scan a QR code for login or verification outside their platform.
✅ Always verify support requests through the official Binance app or website.
✅ Enable 2FA and withdrawal whitelist for extra account protection
🚨 Final Reminder
Scammers rely on pressure and confusion. Don’t give them the chance
Stay calm. Stay informed. Your security is your responsibility.
