⚠️ P2P Scams Are Rising — Here’s How to Stay Safe Before It’s Too Late

If you’ve ever traded crypto via P2P (peer-to-peer), you know it feels fast and easy.

But scammers love it even more than we do.

Lately, P2P scams are evolving: – 🧾 Fake payment screenshots

– ⏳ Delayed bank settlement traps

– 📞 Deepfake phone calls pretending to be “customer support”

– 🧍Fake buyer IDs and reversed UPI payments

All it takes is one mistake — and your crypto is gone forever.

🔐 How to Protect Yourself in P2P:

1. Never release crypto before money actually hits your bank.

Screenshot ≠ confirmation. UPI pending ≠ settled.

2. Use only verified names and UPI IDs.

Always cross-check the buyer’s name with the payment received.

3. Never deal outside the platform or via WhatsApp/Telegram.

If someone asks to “complete the deal outside Binance” — 🚩 it’s a trap.

4. Turn on “Payment Alerts” from your bank.

Real-time SMS or app notifications > relying on screenshots.

5. Don’t fall for urgency or emotional stories.

“I’m in a hurry” or “My brother’s in the hospital” — classic scammer scripts.

6. Record everything.

Chat logs, payment details, user IDs — if you need to raise a dispute, this helps Binance protect you.

🧠 Pro tip: Even seasoned traders get scammed when they rush.
