Scammers are getting smarter — especially in Binance P2P trades.Here’s a breakdown of the most common scams, real-life examples, and how to stay safe.

1️⃣ Common Fraud TypesA) Fake Payment ProofHow it works:You sell USDT on Binance P2P.Buyer sends a fake payment screenshot — but never actually transfers money.

If you release crypto without checking your bank, it’s gone.Example:Buyer shows you a “bank transfer” of PKR 50,000. Later you find nothing in your account.

Precaution:

Always confirm the funds in your bank account, not just a screenshot.Communicate only in Binance chat (recorded for disputes).

---B) Chargeback ScamHow it works:

Buyer pays via reversible methods (PayPal, card).After you release USDT, they reverse the payment through their bank or payment service.

Example:

Buyer claims “unauthorized transaction” on PayPal — money refunded to them, you lose both cash and crypto.Precaution:Avoid reversible payment options.Prefer verified direct bank transfers.

---C) Off-Platform DealsHow it works:

Buyer suggests moving the deal to WhatsApp/Telegram for “better price” or “no fees.”They vanish with your crypto — no Binance protection.

Example:You agree to trade outside Binance. Buyer blocks you after receiving your USDT.Precaution:Never trade outside Binance escrow

.---D) Overpayment TrapHow it works:

Buyer “accidentally” sends extra money and asks for a refund.Later, their original payment is reversed — you lose your own money.

Example:You sell USDT for PKR 50,000, they send PKR 70,000 and request PKR 20,000 back. Bank reverses the 70K, leaving you down 20K.Precaution:Don’t refund until funds are confirmed genuine & irreversible.If overpaid, contact Binance Support.

---E) Phishing & Account Takeover How it works:

Scammers send fake Binance login links or emails.You enter your details, they take over your account and withdraw funds.Example:Email says “Your account is at risk, click here to secure it.” The link is fake.Precaution:Check URL is binance.com.Enable Google Authenticator 2FA.Never click unknown links.

---F) Pump & Dump Groups How it works:

Groups claim to know coins that will “moon.”Price pumps briefly, then insiders dump — price crashes.

Example:You buy a coin at $1.50 on group advice, minutes later it drops to $0.30.Precaution:Avoid hype & “secret signal” groups.Do your own research.---🛡
