How to Avoid Third-Party Scams
🔒 1. Check the sender’s name:
The payment must come from the same name as the buyer’s verified Binance name.
If the bank transfer or mobile money shows a different sender → do NOT release crypto!
🔒 2. Never accept “friend payments”:
If the buyer says “My friend will pay you instead” or “I’m using my wife’s account” — cancel the trade immediately.
Only accept direct payments from the verified buyer.
🔒 3. Keep proof:
Screenshot the payment slip, sender’s name, and transaction ID.
This helps you if there’s a dispute.
🔒 4. Use Binance chat only:
Keep all instructions inside Binance P2P chat — if they try to move you to Telegram/WhatsApp to arrange strange payments, it’s a big red flag.
🔒 5. Appeal if unsure:
If payment looks suspicious (wrong name, overpayment, frozen transfer), don’t release the crypto — click Appeal and let Binance handle it.
⚡ Key takeaway:
✔ Only deal with the verified buyer directly.
✔ Match the payment name 100%.
✔ Don’t let anyone rush or trick you to release before you confirm.
