How to Verify Addresses Before Withdrawing (Avoid Permanent Loss)
How to Avoid P2P Scams on Binance (Beginner Safety Guide)
Summary: P2P is convenient, but scammers try to push you off-platform, fake payment proofs, or pressure you to release crypto early. Use the platform’s protections—never shortcuts.
1) Keep everything on Binance P2P
Do not move to WhatsApp/Telegram for “faster” dealing.
Only trust what’s inside the Binance P2P order chat and order status.
2) Never release crypto before you confirm payment
“Screenshot sent” is not confirmation.
Verify money actually arrived in your bank/e-wallet and is available (not “pending”).
3) Match names and payment details
Confirm the payer’s name matches the verified P2P counterparty (where your local rules allow).
Don’t accept third‑party payments (someone paying “for a friend”)—common fraud pattern.
4) Watch for overpayment and refund traps
If someone “accidentally” overpays and asks you to refund elsewhere, pause and use P2P support guidance.
Avoid sending any “refund” outside the order flow.
5) Use safety habits
Choose merchants with strong completion rate / high order count.
Record evidence: keep receipts, timestamps, chat logs.
If pressured or threatened: do not engage—appeal immediately.

Article 2: How to Verify Addresses Before Withdrawing (Avoid Permanent Loss)
Summary: Crypto withdrawals are usually irreversible. Most losses come from wrong network, wrong address, or wrong memo/tag.
1) Confirm the correct network first
The same token can exist on multiple networks (e.g., USDT on several chains).
The withdrawal network must match the receiving wallet/exchange deposit network.
2) Use copy/paste + check the first/last characters
Never type addresses manually.
After pasting, compare the first 6 and last 6 characters.
3) Memo/Tag is not optional (when required)
Some deposits (e.g., XRP/XLM and some exchange deposits) require a Memo/Tag.
Missing/incorrect memo can mean funds not credited or a long recovery process.
4) Do a small test withdrawal
For new addresses or large amounts, send a small test first.
Confirm receipt, then send the remaining amount.
5) Defend against malware and QR tricks
Beware clipboard malware that swaps addresses after you copy.
Double-check the address after pasting and before confirming.
