As cryptocurrency trading becomes more popular, scammers are developing more advanced tactics. One common scam to watch out for on Binance P2P is the Paid-But-Canceled scam. This article will explain how it works and offer key tips to help you stay safe.
**What is a Paid-But-Canceled Scam?**
In this scam, a fraudulent seller convinces a buyer to cancel a cryptocurrency order after the payment has been made. The scammer claims there was an issue with the transaction and asks for the order to be canceled, promising a refund or a new transaction. However, once the buyer cancels the order, the scammer keeps both the payment and the cryptocurrency, leaving the buyer with nothing.
**Scam Prevention Tips:**
1. **Never Cancel Orders After Payment**: Don’t cancel an order after paying until you’ve confirmed the refund has been returned to your account.
2. **Stay Alert**: Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true and report suspicious activity to Binance support immediately.
3. **Keep Conversations on Binance**: Always communicate through the Binance platform to ensure transparency and avoid sharing personal contact details with trading counterparts.
4. **Raise an Appeal**: If the seller doesn’t release the cryptocurrency after you’ve paid, file an appeal. Binance support can help resolve the issue and release your funds.
**Best Practices for Secure P2P Trading:**
- Verify the seller’s reputation and details before trading.
- Use Binance's escrow service to protect your funds.
