🚨 🚨 🚨 Scam Alert: Fake “Genuine USDT” Claims on Binance P2P
Recently, I encountered a serious scam attempt on Binance P2P that traders should be aware of. The scammer tried to convince me that the USDT I received was “genuine” by showing it in a Trust Wallet screenshot — but in reality, it was part of a fraudulent scheme.
📌 How the Scam Works
1. You post or accept a P2P trade on Binance.
The scammer approaches you to buy or sell USDT.
2. The scammer sends a fake payment or tricks you into sending crypto first.
Instead of completing the payment properly, they show you a Trust Wallet screenshot or link claiming the USDT is “genuine.”
3. They rely on your lack of verification.
Many new traders think that if crypto appears in Trust Wallet or a blockchain explorer, it’s safe — but in reality, scammers use:
• Fake tokens with the USDT name
• Custom contracts to mimic real USDT
• Screenshots from previous genuine transactions
4. Once you release your USDT on Binance, you can’t reverse it.
After you release, the scammer disappears, and you’re left with nothing.

📢 Final Warning
P2P trading is safe on Binance only if you follow the rules and verify every step. Scammers are becoming more creative, but you can stop them by never releasing crypto based on screenshots or unverified claims.
Stay safe, double-check everything, and always trade within Binance’s protection system.
