🚨 MUST READ IF YOU USE BINANCE P2P
Sharing a P2P scam attempt I recently encountered because the red flags are worth knowing.
I was selling USDT through Binance P2P when the buyer contacted me on WhatsApp and asked me to “verify my USDT.”
I told him I didn’t know how to do it and asked him to cancel the order.
Instead, he said it would only take a few minutes and told me to download Trust Wallet. He even offered to guide me through it on a call.
That felt suspicious, so I refused.
Then he tried to convince me by saying, “Everyone asks for it now because there are lots of scams happening. If you sell to someone else, they will also ask for it. The rules have changed.”
Rather than following his instructions, I contacted Binance Customer Support and explained everything. They told me not to do it.
After that, the buyer sent a payment screenshot in the Binance chat and marked the payment as completed.
But the screenshot itself had mismatched details:
• Different date
• Different name
• Different amount
I knew it was fake and did not release my USDT.
The order timer eventually ran out. Since this was the first time I had faced something like this, I contacted Binance Support again, explained the situation, and they helped me resolve it.
Sharing this because the red flags came one after another:
WhatsApp → “USDT verification” → Download another wallet → Pressure → Fake payment screenshot
My takeaway: don’t follow a buyer’s instructions just because they sound confident or claim that “the rules have changed.”
Verify the actual payment yourself. If something feels suspicious, stop and contact support.
A few minutes of caution can protect your crypto. 🛡️
