#ScamAwareness #binancescam #BinanceScamAlert #SMS #scamriskwarning Few days ago my friend almost became victim of a scam where somebody attempted to steal her coins by impersonating Binance staff. Long story short they managed to send her fake Binance sms which showed up right under her Binance sms notifications. I have no idea how they did that BUT right under those old verification codes she recieved sms saying that her API key has been paired with a Trezor wallet & if that's not her she should 'call this number' which she did. (screenshot below) In the next part of the scam this fake Binance customer support will inform you that somebody did this from Italy (or other country) & your account has been compromised. In order to save your crypto you must transfer everything to this "safe" TrustWallet (which they have access to) Of course, they'll be kind & guide you thru the whole thing while talking to you. Fortunately, she trusted her intuition and despite not being too familiar with crypto basics & how this platform works, she did not follow their instructions and ended up laughing together with these scammers. I googled this number and found a facebook post from 2017 where it was connected to another (different) scam. They kept sending her messages with the same scam pattern - compromised account - contact us here. (more screenshots) As pathetic as this scam might seem to some of you I believe that we all know individuals who could easily fall for it - which is why we should spread this information & hopefully save somebody from being robbed. Also, I hope this post will be seen by someone who can actually do something about it. This is a theft like any other and they should be located & face legal consequences. I'm not sure how common this whole thing is but they probably did enough harm already since they prey upon naive & uninformed users who believe that they are actually talking to Binance. Best of luck to you all & BE SAFE!!!!!
I just got liquidated on futures account trading #APT/USDT few hours after the crash has happened. Trade was running despite the fact that my liquidation levels were reached(?) because price drop was so fast that period below them was probably miliseconds. I assume this happened by looking at the charts later because it continued running and I could have even closed it with a loss for hours after this moment. So as my loss was getting smaller & I was expecting back in the green it just disaapeared. We've all seen flash crash market manipulation before, but I've never seen things play out like this on any exchange. Anyone else?
