Binance P2P Scams in Pakistan: A Growing Risk

Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading on Binance has surged in popularity in Pakistan—but so have scams targeting traders on the platform. Users are facing sudden account freezes, bogus payment claims, and other distressing complications.

Common Scam Tactics on Binance P2P

* Cancellation after payment: Sellers cancel the order after receiving payment.
* Blocked accounts: Bank accounts are frozen after scammers report transactions.
* Fake proof of payment: Scammers send doctored screenshots or SMS confirmations.
* Chargeback scams: Buyers pay via EasyPaisa/JazzCash, receive crypto, and then reverse the payment.
* Message manipulation: Scammers alter communication to mislead victims.

Real Stories from Victims

* A trader from Islamabad sold USDT, received funds, but later their bank account was frozen because the buyer filed a false complaint. The victim had no CNIC or contact info of the buyer.
* Another seller lost \$630 worth of USDT. Money was received from multiple suspicious senders, and soon after, FIA froze all their accounts because the payments were linked to fraud.
* Some users report that even with CNIC, bank statements, and mobile numbers, disputes can drag on for months, with funds remaining locked.

Safe Trading Tips

* Always trade within Binance’s official chat and escrow system.
* Verify the counterparty’s ratings and history before trading.
* Avoid sharing personal or banking details outside Binance.
* Trust your instincts—cancel the trade if anything feels suspicious.
