Many fall into this trap wanting to save a few bucks...
But they end up losing everything: their money or their cryptocurrencies.
🎭 How does the script scam work?
They contact you via Facebook or social media:
"I have cheaper USDT, but you must open the order in another country."
You access, change your market on Binance P2P (for example, you open in COP even though you are in CLP).
You start trading with a legitimate merchant who is in that market.
The scammer now tells you:
"Send this code to my assistant via the chat of the merchant."
But that "code" is actually the scammer's or their accomplice's bank account number.
The merchant, upon seeing that message, believes it is a valid account of the buyer...
🔻 And transfers the money to the scammer.
💥 And what happens next?
The buyer does not receive the money because it was sent to another account.
The merchant believes they have already paid, and pressures you to release.
But if you release the USDT, you lose your cryptos.
And if you don't release, the merchant opens a dispute and shows the proof.
👉 Result:
Both always lose — and the scammer wins without a trace.
🛑 How to avoid this scam?
✅ Operate only in your country and local currency (CLP if you are in Chile, for example).
✅ Do not follow instructions outside of Binance.
✅ Never send "codes" or account numbers via chat.
✅ Be suspicious if they tell you that an "assistant" will talk to you.
✅ If the price is too good to be true, it's fraud.
