Altered proof of payment is a scam tactic where scammers manipulate or fake payment receipts to trick you into Binance P2P trading.
Here's how they can use it against you:
1️⃣ Edit screenshots: Scammers can alter real payment receipts to change details like the amount, date, or time.
2️⃣ Create fake receipts: They can create completely fake payment receipts using image editing tools.
3️⃣ Misrepresent payment status: They may claim to have paid when they haven't or say the payment was successful when it wasn't.
Why Do They Do It?
1️⃣ Steal Your Cryptocurrency: Scammers use altered proof of payment to receive cryptocurrency without actually paying.
2️⃣ Delay or Avoid Payment: They may trick you into delaying or canceling the transaction.
3️⃣ Gain your trust: These fake receipts can be used to build trust, making you more vulnerable to scams.
Protect Yourself:
1️⃣ Verify receipts: Double-check payment receipts for any inconsistencies.
2️⃣ Use secure channels: Always communicate via Binance's official chat or messaging channels.
3️⃣ Monitor trade chat: Always be alert for any suspicious activity during your trade.
4️⃣ Report suspicions: If something seems off, report it to Binance support immediately.
