Recognizing risk alerts is essential for creating a safe and secure trading experience on P2P platforms. Here you can view the most common types of risk alerts and what they relate to:

Early release: Anyone who asks you to release coins in advance is most likely a scammer.

Fake customer service: Anyone claiming to be a P2P customer service or team member is almost certainly a scammer.

Offline payments: Legitimate sellers will provide payment details in the Binance P2P ad’s description. Scammers will send details outside of the chat.

Third-party payments: Don’t accept third-party payments. These may lead to chargebacks, frozen bank accounts, or other risks.

Fake authorities: Beware of fake authorities that ask you to release your funds early. Do not succumb to fake penalty threats and release coins prematurely. Report any suspicious activities to the Binance customer support team immediately.

Phone number: Beware of phishing scams. Do not share your phone number with your counterparty through Binance chat, as it's highly possible you’ll be targeted for a phishing scam. Don’t trade with each other offline.

Fake payment proof: Do not release the crypto if you cannot check your bank account and confirm you’ve received the payment.

Fake email: Beware of fake Binance emails. Anyone who asks for your email in the chat box is most likely a scammer. There is no Binance Escrow service for your fiat payments.

Opt-in issue: Anyone who asks you to cancel the order after you’ve made payment is a potential scammer. Do not accept calls nor believe any explanations.
