A growing wave of EasyPaisa P2P scams is shaking Pakistan’s trading scene — especially among crypto users relying on quick, mobile transfers. What began as random cases has now become a pattern. And for Binance traders, it’s a wake-up call.
How the Scam Works
Fraudsters are exploiting trust, speed, and human error. Some send fake payment screenshots to trick sellers into releasing assets. Others reverse legitimate transfers after crypto is released. In many cases, scammers use stolen or third-party EasyPaisa accounts, making recovery nearly impossible. The latest trick? Asking users to “approve” fake pending payments — which secretly lets the scammer drain their balance.
Why Accounts Get Blocked
Multiple traders report frozen EasyPaisa wallets after crypto-related activity. This often happens when the system flags high-volume or suspicious transfers. Under local compliance, accounts tied to potential crypto trades can be temporarily locked — even if the user is legitimate.
The Bigger Picture
Pakistan’s digital finance market is booming, but so is fraud. Each case doesn’t just cost money — it chips away at trust in local payment networks. With millions relying on EasyPaisa daily, unchecked scams could stall mainstream crypto adoption.
Protect Yourself — Stay Smart
✔ Verify funds directly inside your EasyPaisa app — never trust screenshots.
✔ Trade only with KYC-verified users and avoid unknown numbers.
✔ Use Binance P2P escrow only — never settle trades off-platform.
✔ Double-check names and transaction IDs before releasing crypto.
✔ Report suspicious activity instantly to EasyPaisa Support and the FIA Cyber Crime Wing.
P2P convenience comes with responsibility. In today’s environment, one rushed approval can cost everything. Stay patient, verify every step, and always trade inside official Binance channels.
