Attention trader! There is an increasing wave of scams in the Binance P2P market, and scammers have started using more professional tricks to deceive victims. Do not rush into any deal — a small step of caution could save you from a big loss. 🛡️
🔍 Scams we have detected
Fake payment proof
The scammer sends a screenshot of a fake bank transfer or a claimed receipt and asks you to deliver the currency. Do not rely on a picture — check your real bank balance or the receipt notification within the bank platform before any transfer. ✅
Payment from a third-party account
If you received money from a bank account with a name different from the buyer's name shown in the conversation, know that this is a big risk — you may be subjected to bank investigations and your account may be frozen. 🚫
Overpayment Scam
The scammer sends an amount larger than agreed upon and then asks you to return the difference. After that, the original transfer is canceled or found to be fake — and you lose the money you returned. ⚠️
Moving to communicate outside the platform
Any attempt to move the conversation to WhatsApp or Telegram or any means outside Binance often ends in fraud. Keep all transaction steps within the official Binance chat only. 📵
Accepting money from hacked accounts
If you received payments from stolen accounts, the bank or authorities may impose an immediate freeze on the transfers and start lengthy investigations — this poses a huge risk to you. 🔒
🛡️ Practical tips to protect you (Quick Checklist)
Do not deliver the currency until you see the actual deposit in your bank account or the platform notification.
Compare the account holder's name with the username in the conversation — if different, don't rush.
Use the Binance chat within the app only and keep all conversation evidence.
If someone asks you to return money or continue outside the platform — refuse and report to Binance support immediately.
If you suspect anything, stop the transaction and report to the security center. A quick report = a greater chance of recovering your rights. 🚨
🔚 Brief summary
Scammers are not always beginners — they just exploit the victim's urgency. Take your time, scrutinize every step, and do not transact outside the Binance system if you want your money safely. 🔐
