A merchant sent exactly 10 million VND, then messaged: “I sent it by mistake, please refund it to me.”
I was selling 400 USDT on P2P. Once the order was created, I was waiting for the buyer to make the payment.
Then my Vietcombank account suddenly showed a 10 million VND incoming transfer. Before I could even check everything, the buyer messaged:
“Bro, I accidentally transferred 10 million VND to your account. Please send it back to this bank account.”
They provided a different bank account — NOT the account shown on the P2P order.
I stopped for 5 seconds and thought:
Wait. My 400 USDT order was 10.08 million VND. The buyer sent exactly 10 million, short by 80K, and now claims it was a mistake?
This is the classic “accidental transfer” scam.
If I had refunded the 10 million VND to that unrelated account:
I could lose 10 million VND for real
My USDT would still be locked in escrow
The buyer could cancel the order or file an Appeal
I could end up losing everything
So I did NOT send anything back.
I screenshotted the entire chat, saved the bank receipt, and immediately opened an Appeal.
Binance Support handled it within 3 hours. The buyer’s case was rejected.
🔴 Someone says “I sent it by mistake, please refund me” → RED FLAG
🔴 NEVER send money outside the P2P order/payment flow
🟢 Save all evidence → Appeal → Let Binance handle it
🟢 Keep all payment activity inside Binance P2P
Looking back, if I had rushed and refunded that money, I’d probably be crying right now 😂
Has anyone here ever encountered this “accidental transfer” scam?
