*๐ P2P Scam Alert - Binance Customer Support Impostor ๐**
Hello Binancians! ๐
We've noticed a tricky scam that demands your caution. Some scammers are posing as Binance Support. Here's how it works:
1. ๐ญ Scammers imitate Binance Support in a P2P order chatbox or reach out to sellers through off-platform messaging apps, presenting themselves as Binance Support. They trick sellers into believing that the payment from the buyer is on hold until the seller releases the crypto. Spoiler alert: This is a SCAM!
2. ๐ซRemember, Binance Support will NEVER chat with you in the P2P order chatbox โ it's solely for buyer-seller communication!
3. ๐ธ Payments for P2P orders occur offline, meaning Binance doesn't supervise the buyer's payment. Always double-check if you have received the money in your bank account or your payment channel before releasing your crypto.
4. ๐ โโ๏ธ Don't blindly trust SMS or email payment notifications; verify the sender meticulously. Scammers may forge these notifications to swindle you!
5. โ Be extra vigilant if someone wants to chat off-platform. It's a trick to bypass our watchful eyes and manipulate you. Always stick to the P2P order chatbox.
6. ๐ Binance Customer Support will NEVER reach out to users via phone calls, messaging apps, or unofficial platforms, nor ask you to send crypto to any wallets or accounts. Here's the one and only official support channel.
