I honestly thought I was careful... until I wasn’t.
While selling USDT via P2P, the buyer shared what looked like a legit bank slip. 🧾

I trusted it — and I made the worst mistake:
I released the crypto before confirming funds.
Moments later... 💸 No money. No buyer. Just silence.

This was more than a scam — it was a wake-up call. Here’s what I learned the hard way:

🔒 NEVER release crypto until you see money in your account
🔍 Always double-check transfer time & sender’s name
🚫 Bank slip screenshots are not proof — only trust your official banking app

The rise of peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platforms like Binance P2P has made buying and selling crypto much easier. But with convenience comes risk — and one of the most common scams on Binance P2P is the Fake Payment Confirmation or Fake Proof of Payment scam.
Let’s break down how it works, see real-world examples, and learn how to protect yourself.
🎭 What Is the Fake Payment Confirmation Scam?
In this scam, a buyer pretends to send payment for your crypto (usually USDT or BTC), but in reality:
They don’t actually send any money, orThey send a Photoshopped or outdated screenshot as fake proof of payment.
Once they upload the fake receipt, they click "Payment Made" in Binance P2P, trying to pressure you into releasing the crypto — even though you haven't received the funds.
📌 Real Example (Case Study)
Trader A (Seller): Lists 500 USDT for sale
Trader B (Scammer): Initiates trade, claims to have sent €426 (EUR) via bank transfer
Scammer uploads fake Bank payment receipt (edited PDF)
Trader A doesn’t check their bank account and releases the crypto
Money never arrives. Crypto gone.
🚩 Red Flags to Watch Out For
Pushy behavior – Scammers will urge you to release crypto quickly, saying things like:
"Payment made, please release.""It may take a few minutes, just trust me."
Unclear or incomplete payment details – Payment screenshot doesn't match trade amount or name.
Edited or blurry receipts – Check for obvious signs of tampering (fonts, alignment, timestamps).
Claiming bank delays – This is a common excuse scammers use to buy time or trick you.
Brand-new accounts with no trade history – Always be extra cautious.
🛡️ How to Protect Yourself
✅ Never release crypto without confirming that the payment has been received in your bank account or payment method. Binance clearly warns users not to rely solely on screenshots.
✅ Use "Receive notifications" via your bank's app or SMS — but still double-check your actual balance.
✅ Report suspicious users to Binance P2P support. They investigate and can ban scammers.
✅ Only trade with verified and high-rating users (90%+ completion rate and multiple trades).
✅ Record everything. If something goes wrong, screenshots and videos can help in disputes.
🚨 What If You Fall Victim?
Immediately open an appeal in the Binance P2P trade window.
Submit your bank statements or screenshots proving no payment was received.
Contact Binance Support through the Help Center.
If the scammer used a real bank account, consider filing a police report with their account details.

P2P crypto trading can be safe — but only if you're vigilant. Don’t let the pressure of a fake payment screenshot rush you into a bad decision. Always verify funds before releasing crypto.
Remember: No money = No crypto.

We want to inform the Binance community about a recent P2P (Peer-to-Peer) crypto scam to help everyone stay vigilant and safeguard their assets.
Recently, I engaged in a P2P trade, selling 749 $USDT (equivalent to approximately 114,023.88 $BTC
). The buyer appeared genuine, completing what seemed like a legitimate bank transfer. Upon confirming the payment, I released the crypto. However, just a few hours later, I discovered my bank account had been frozen. It turned out that the buyer had filed a false fraud claim, claiming they never authorized the transaction—an outright lie.
This incident was a calculated scam:
- The scammer first trusts you by making a convincing payment.
- After you release the crypto, they quickly report the transaction as unauthorized.
- As a result, your bank freezes your account, leaving you without your funds or crypto.
This scam isn’t just theft—it’s a serious form of financial fraud and cybercrime. The scammer behind this is a professional who uses such tactics to deceive and trap P2P traders.
I’m sharing this experience to alert others: always verify transactions carefully, stay cautious, and report any suspicious activity to the platform and authorities.
Protect yourself and help prevent these scams in the crypto community!
