Enhanced Anti-Phishing Code Feature: Safeguard Against SMS Phishing
Dear Binancian, This post is intended for those who have not set up a Binance Anti-Phishing Code. If you haven't set up your own Anti-Phishing Code in the Security Center, we will use your Binance User ID (UID) number by default and attach it to the SMS messages that Binance sends to you. This helps differentiate legitimate messages from phishing SMS messages sent by scammers. Your UID can be found at the top left hand icon in your app.
We highly recommend setting up your own Anti-Phishing Code, as it is easier for you to memorize and recognize, providing you better protection. Always check the Anti-Phishing Code or UID number in SMS messages to avoid falling victim to phishing attacks. Please be aware that this feature is being rolled out gradually. It will be available in more countries soon. The Binance Risk Team

â ď¸ Risks of Accepting Payments from Third-Party Accounts in P2P Transactions
Accepting payments from accounts that do not belong to your direct counterparty in P2P transactions can expose you to significant risks, including but not limited to:
1. Fraud Risk Payments made from someone elseâs account may be unauthorized and linked to fraudulent activity. If the account owner identifies the transaction as unauthorized, they may request a chargeback or initiate a dispute with the bank or payment provider.
2. Money Laundering Risk Funds transferred from third-party accounts may be part of a money laundering scheme. Criminals may use P2P platforms to move illicit funds across various accounts to disguise their origins.
3. Legal Liability Receiving funds from stolen or unauthorized accounts could implicate you in illegal activity. You may be considered an accomplice or facilitator of financial crime, leading to legal consequences.
4. Account Freezing Banks or payment providers may flag such transactions as suspicious, resulting in temporary or permanent freezing of your account during an investigation. This can limit your access to funds and harm your financial standing.
â Best Practices to Minimize Risk
1. Verify Payment Source: Ensure that all payments come directly from the counterpartyâs own account, not from any third party.
2. Use In-Platform Payment Tools: When possible, use the platformâs built-in payment system to add an extra layer of security and traceability.
3. Keep Detailed Records: Save all transaction details and communication logs in case of disputes or investigations.
4. Follow Platform Guidelines: Adhere strictly to the platformâs rules and safety recommendations to protect yourself.
By following these precautions, you can significantly reduce your exposure to financial and legal risks in P2P transactions.
â ď¸ Job Scam Alert If someone asks you to click a strange link, place a âquick orderâ or send a screenshot â itâs likely a scam. Never follow job opportunity from unknown contacts. Stay safe. Ignore, block, and report.
You were added to a WhatsApp or TG group for no apparent reason and asked to invest? This is a scam, please contact Binance official customer service to report it.
â ď¸ Beware of P2P Escrow Scams In a P2P escrow scam, the scammer may pose as a buyer interested in purchasing cryptocurrency from a seller. The scammer will attempt to obtain the sellerâs contact information through the chat to facilitate off-site communication. Subsequently, the scammer may compromise the victim's email account linked to Binance to send a fake Binance email. This fraudulent email claims that the buyer has deposited funds into the Binance escrow account and instructs the victim to withdraw the funds to a "safe" address. If the victim believes this and follows the instructions, they will likely lose their funds permanently. Do the following: 1. Do not disclose any private contact information in P2P chat. 2. Use Binance Verify to help you identify Binance officials. 3. If you encounter suspicious transactions, contact customer service in time for help.
SCAM ALERT: Phishing SMS urges you to call a number Users in Sri Lanka, Slovakia, Great Britain, and all Binancians receiving SMS about fake account updates with a call-back number should ignore it.

Remember: Everything Stays on the Platform All account-related issues are handled on the Binance App or official website. If you receive an SMS asking you to call a phone number or click into a suspicious link, itâs a scam. Always cross-check any link or phone number using Binance Verify to ensure its authenticity.
