For new users, Binance is the gateway to the crypto world, but also the primary target of sophisticated scammers. Here are the most common scams detected in 2024 and 2025 that you need to know to avoid losing your assets:
1. Scams in P2P Commerce (Person to Person)
It is the area with the most fraud attempts, where the deception is psychological and not technical.
★ Fake Payment Receipt: The scammer sends an edited screenshot or a fake SMS that appears to be from your bank.
★ Survival: Never release cryptocurrencies until you see the money reflected in your real bank app balance.
★ Third-Party Payments: The buyer uses a bank account that does not match their name in #Binance This can cause your bank to block your account due to suspected money laundering.
Survival: Only accept payments if the sender's name exactly matches the verified name on Binance.
★ "Overpayment" Triangulation: They send you more money than agreed "by mistake" and ask you to return the difference. Then, they cancel the original payment (or report the account theft), and you lose both what you returned and what you sold.
2. Identity Theft (Impersonation)
* False Technical Support: Someone contacts you via Telegram, WhatsApp, or DM pretending to be a Binance agent to tell you that your account is blocked or at risk.
* Survival: Binance staff will NEVER ask you for passwords, 2FA codes, or to transfer funds to a "security wallet."
* Celebrity Deepfakes: AI-generated videos of figures like Elon Musk or Binance executives promoting "gifts" or guaranteed investments.
* Survival: Be wary of any offer that promises to "double your cryptos." If it sounds too good to be true, it is a scam.
3. Phishing and Fake Websites
* Cloned URLs: Pages that look identical to binance.com but have a minimal error (e.g., binnance.com). If you enter your details there, they will steal your account.
* Quishing (QR Phishing): Malicious QR codes that, when scanned, take you to data theft sites or install malware on your phone.
* Survival: Save the official site in your "Favorites" and always use the official [Binance Verify] tool or Google Authenticator.
4. Investment Scams and "Seed Phrases"
* The Seed Phrase Deception: An "agent" guides you to create an external wallet and asks you to share the seed phrase (12-24 words) to "link it" to Binance.
* Survival: Never share your seed phrase with anyone. It is the master key to your funds; whoever has it owns the money.
* Airdrops and Fake Tokens: They invite you to connect your wallet to a website to claim free tokens. By signing the smart contract, you give them permission to automatically drain your wallet (Wallet Drainers).
What to do if you suspect something?
Do not act under pressure. Stop the operation and use the [Official Binance Support] chat within the app to request immediate help.
Always be alert and skeptical when it comes to our money.
Investigate each procedure while staying alert. #SAFU🙏
