STAY ONE STEP AHEAD
A growing number of #scams involve people impersonating police, prosecutors, or government officials.
Their goal is to scare you into sending your crypto.
Here are 3 simple rules to make sure you never fall for it.
1. DON’T SEND CRYPTO UNDER PRESSURE
It doesn't matter who they say they are – police, a prosecutor, someone who works for the government. If someone is directing you to move your crypto funds, stop. No legitimate authority collects bail or "security deposits" in crypto.
2. YOU ALWAYS HAVE TIME
Real police investigations don't happen over a single phone call. Anyone demanding you "act now or face arrest" is trying to stop you from thinking clearly.
3. TALK TO SOMEONE YOU TRUST
If something doesn't feel right or you're told "don't tell anyone," hang up. Reach out to Binance Support, your local police department, or the actual organization that the scam “claims” to be from.
You will only be certain that it is real if a legitimate officer from that organization confirms it. Do not ever use contact details from a suspicious message itself.
