Stay Safe, Stay Smart: Protect Your Crypto Assets from P2P Scams ๐ผ๐ธ
Pakistan has seen a rise in scams on Binance's P2P platform, where fraudsters exploit loopholes in the banking system to trick unsuspecting traders. Don't fall for their tricks! Hereโs how these scams operate and what YOU can do to protect yourself:
๐ How These Scams Work:
1. Fake Payment Proofs ๐ฆ
Fraudsters send manipulated or fake payment receipts, convincing sellers to release crypto. Once released, they cancel the transaction or claim a mistake was made.
2. Bank Chargebacks ๐ฐ
Scammers initiate a real payment, but after receiving your crypto, they reverse the transaction, leaving you empty-handed.
3. Third-Party Confusion ๐คฏ
Some scammers involve third parties to complicate the deal, tricking sellers into releasing assets before payments are fully verified.
4. Phishing Scams ๐ง
Impersonating Binance support or other traders, these fraudsters try to steal your personal info or crypto via fake security alerts.
๐ก How to Protect Yourself:
1. Always Verify Payments โ
Donโt release assets until the money is confirmed in your accountโnot just by screenshot, but by your bank!
2. Use Binance Escrow ๐
Let Binance's escrow service protect youโfunds are held safely until both parties confirm the trade.
3. Keep It On-Platform ๐ก๏ธ
Stick to Binanceโs P2P chat. Off-platform communication is a red flag for fraud!
4. Be Phishing-Savvy ๐ต๏ธ
Double-check URLs, avoid suspicious links, and never give out personal info to unverified contacts.
5. Check Trader Profiles ๐
Before trading, verify the buyer/sellerโs transaction history, completion rate, and reviews to ensure legitimacy.
