What's happening:
Scammers are increasingly targeting Peer-to-Peer (P2P) transactions on Binance, exploiting users' trust and lack of awareness.

3. Communication: Scammers initiate conversations, building trust and convincing users to proceed with the trade.

5. Disappearance: Once payment is made, scammers vanish with the funds.
Red Flags:
