Scam Alert: Fake Binance SMS attack is sweeping users in Sweden, Lithuania and other European countries
Scammers impersonate Binance and send SMS to users, falsely claiming that their accounts have security issues (such as abnormal API issues, etc.) to create panic and anxiety, with the goal of guiding users to communicate directly with them.
Scammers manipulate users into transferring their funds to a TrustWallet that they claim will ensure the security of the users' assets. The scammers create this wallet in advance and provide the victims with its seed phrase, presenting it as a secure alternative. In reality, this wallet is fully controlled by the scammers. Once users transfer their funds to this TrustWallet, the scammers immediately gain access to the assets through the provided seed phrase, allowing them to steal the funds instantly.
This attack method allows attackers to steal users' funds conveniently and efficiently, while users find it difficult to understand the principle and become confused.
Please be wary of the information from unknown sources, especially those claiming to be Binance officials. Among them, the information that actively asks you to transfer funds is a scam. Please stop contacting the scammers and report to Binance. In addition, if someone claiming to be a Binance agent contacts you through non-official Binance channels (such as SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram), please save the chat records and consult Binance customer service via the official Binance website or app to verify the authenticity. Finally, Binance will never provide users with existing wallets and send mnemonics to users via SMS or other methods. #StaySafeInTheCryptoWorld #BinanceRiskteam #BinanceRiskSniper
