🚨 Scam Alert: I3q.com Is a Fraudulent Trading Platform

I3q.com claims to use “AI-powered trading” to help users earn profits — but it’s a scam.

💬 Users were lured in through YouTube and other social media ads, promising fake returns like:
“Daily 2% gains” or “Guaranteed 1.5% profits”.
🎯 The reality? Once users deposit funds, they are unable to withdraw, and the platform eventually disappears.

🔒 Protect Yourself:
✅Be wary of “too good to be true” returns
✅Do not trust platforms promoted by unverified YouTube influencers
✅Always verify licenses and withdrawal transparency
✅Use only trusted and regulated trading platforms

🎁 “Scan to Get $10!”
🧠 Translation: “Scan to Give $10…”
🚨 Scam alert!
Scammers are putting fake “Reward QR codes” out there, saying you’ll receive $10… but when you scan it, you’re actually sending $10 instead.
💸 That’s not a reward — that’s a withdrawal from your dignity AND your wallet.
🔍 Remember:
On Binance, scanning a QR code is used to make a payment, not to receive one.
If someone says otherwise — 🚩 it's a scam.
📢 Stay sharp, not sorry.

Crypto holders must adopt proactive security practices, including reducing online exposure, enhancing social media privacy, and practicing situational awareness to protect themselves and their assets.

⚠️ 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 else’s 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.

✅ Best Practices to Minimize Risk

1. Verify Payment Source: Ensure that all payments come directly from the counterparty’s own account, not from any third party.

2. Use In-Platform Payment Tools: When possible, use the platform’s 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 platform’s 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.

🚨 If it promises "get rich quick" and "guaranteed returns," it's a scam. Real investments carry risk. Stay vigilant and protect your money.

⚠️ Job Scam Alert
If someone asks you to click a strange link, place a “quick order” or send a screenshot — it’s likely a scam.

⚠️ 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 seller’s 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. Binance never sends SMS with phone numbers to call. This is a phishing scam to steal your crypto!
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, it’s a scam. Always cross-check any link or phone number using Binance Verify to ensure its authenticity.
