Refuse to be tricked into downloading Anydesk remote control software

Scammers send phishing emails, text messages, or phone calls claiming to be from Binance.

They then claim that your device has been hacked or infected with malware. This is a social engineering scare tactic designed to create a sense of urgency. Scammers may even claim that your Binance account is under security attack.

To combat this, they convince you to download AnyDesk, TeamViewer so they can help you fix the problem. Scammers keep you on the phone while you download the app, giving them easy access to your computer.

Once they gain remote access, they can steal sensitive information or use your device to trick you. For example, they could hack into your Binance account and transfer your funds.

What makes the AnyDesk scam particularly dangerous is that the scammers still have access to your device - even after tricking you.

In any case, please refuse remote control software and let strangers control your device.
