#提现服务恢复期间警惕诈骗 Day 3 of Binance withdrawals resuming, and scammers are starting to “teach” you how to speed up withdrawals
11/2 Binance issued a security reminder warning users to watch out for scams during the withdrawal phase. My first thought wasn’t “be careful”—it was that scammers now have an official announcement to use as a script.
📊 Key figures
· Around 6.3 billion was stolen on 10/29; withdrawals resumed on 11/1
· On 11/1, 4.649 billion was withdrawn and 1.01 billion deposited, for a net outflow of 3.64 billion, or 2.1% of AUM
· As of 11/2, cumulative net withdrawals totaled 4.72 billion, or 3% of platform assets, mainly in USDT
· 95% has been replenished, with the remaining 5% in low-liquidity coins
· The FBI has published a list of the hackers’ wallet addresses
🔍 The key contradiction
Previously, you had a point of protection: no one would proactively DM you about withdrawals. But this time, withdrawals are paused, queued, and delayed—the platform itself is creating the anxiety, so scammers don’t need to. Four common scripts: pay a fee to speed up withdrawals; click a link to qualify for compensation; your withdrawal is frozen, so use this link to unlock it; or transfer funds to a “safe wallet.” The last two are the most dangerous: they exploit the “I’m cooperating with you” mindset, and an on-chain signature cannot be undone.
🧊 Three reality checks
1. This Binance announcement is training scammers—it lays out the talking points one by one, effectively organizing a framework for their scripts.
2. Replenishing the remaining 5% could take a long time; low-liquidity coins can only be handled through OTC. “95% replenished” describes the situation now, not the finish line.
3. Don’t interpret the 4.72 billion in net outflows as a collapse in confidence. OKX has only 29 billion in total, and most of this is USDT being moved, not sold. The real selling pressure is the 279 million on-chain—an order of magnitude smaller.
💡 My take
The most useful line in the official reminder is “check withdrawal progress only in the app.” Don’t touch any external links, even domains that look similar. Set another rule: anyone who contacts you first is a scammer by default.
I’m not in a hurry on the market side. The main wave of selling pressure has already landed, and 279 million is not in the same league as 171 billion in AUM. What’s worth watching instead is “slowing net outflows + deposits staying high.”
One more reminder: U.S. midterm election voting is on 11/3, and the nonfarm payrolls report is on 11/6. First make sure your withdrawal route is secure, then think about your positions.
⚠️ Not investment advice. On-chain approvals cannot be undone. Official compensation is handled only in the app—don’t click external links.
