⚠️ P2P SCAM ALERT: BEWARE OF A NEW BINANCE P2P SCAM ⚠️
A new and highly dangerous scam is making the rounds on Binance P2P, targeting mostly new and inexperienced users. It’s sophisticated, deceptive, and could result in the loss of both your crypto and fiat money.
Here’s how the scam works — step-by-step
The Scam Process
1. The scammer initiates a P2P buy order
They place an order to buy USDT or another crypto asset from you via Binance P2P.
2. They send the fiat payment to your bank account
You'll receive the payment almost immediately — usually through a bank transfer that looks completely legitimate. It appears in your bank account like any normal transaction.
3. You release the crypto
Seeing the funds in your bank account, you assume the payment is genuine and release the USDT or crypto.
4. The trap is sprung — the scammer reverses the transaction
After receiving the crypto, the scammer contacts their bank and initiates a payment reversal, dispute, or claims unauthorized transaction.
5. You lose both your crypto and your money
The bank may withdraw the credited amount from your account, and the scammer keeps the released crypto. You're left with nothing.
Who’s at Risk?
This scam primarily targets:
New users unfamiliar with P2P best practices
Users in a hurry, eager to complete trades quickly
Anyone trusting a payment notification without confirming it properly
How to Protect Yourself
Follow these key tips to avoid falling victim:
Only trade with verified users
Check the number of completed trades, user reviews, and verification level on Binance P2P before proceeding.
NEVER release crypto based on SMS or screenshots
Scammers can forge screenshots or fake SMS alerts. Always verify payment through your official bank app or website — not just your notification panel.
Watch out for red flags
Offers that seem too good to be true
Buyers who are overly eager or rushing you
Requests to chat outside Binance or share sensitive info
Keep communication on Binance P2P
Never share your personal data, phone number, or banking info outside the Binance platform.
Use the “Appeal” feature if anything seems wrong
If you have doubts or something feels off, don’t release the crypto. Use the Appeal button and let Binance support review the situation.
Final Reminder
One mistake could cost you everything. Stay alert, take your time, and always verify every step before confirming a trade.
Share this alert with your network to help others stay informed and protected.
Stay Safe. Trade Smart. Protect Your Crypto.
