#C2C入金
⚠️Attention⚠️ Major vulnerability in telegram, sharing real cases of scams.
【Cause】
I invited a friend of a friend to register on Binance, we met, scanned each other's QR codes to add each other on telegram, and I sent him the registration picture and invitation code.
【Process】
Later, he said that the funds in the registered Binance account require T+1, and asked if I had any coins, to transfer some to me later or the next day via Alipay or WeChat.
I said I only have over 300U🤣. He said he urgently needed it and asked me to transfer some. I called him on telegram twice, but he didn't answer, using a poor network as an excuse.
Considering that WeChat and phone calls in China monitor keywords like U, digital currency in real-time, for safety, I ignored confirming with him over the phone.
He also wanted all 300U, but I said I could only give him 100U. I asked him to provide his Binance ID. He said to transfer to a cold wallet and gave me a string of addresses. Later, I spoke to another friend who said giving 100U should be fine, scamming for 100U wouldn't be worth it. So based on the principle of initial trust, I transferred him 100U.
【Reversal】
Until today, he still hasn't transferred the money. So I called this friend.
After answering the call, he was puzzled and said he was unaware. So, I arranged to meet this friend and another referred friend together in the afternoon.
When we met, we opened each other's telegram, and could receive messages from each other. But previous messages had been automatically cleared.
I couldn't find the reason afterward. He was using an Android phone + a US VPN. So I suspect it’s a serious vulnerability in the Android system, or a backdoor in the VPN. This led to his telegram being taken over by hackers or scammers.
For this friend, if it were really a scam, it wouldn't be just 100U, plus we met. So it’s highly likely he was hacked.
Since this is the case, the only option is to report the address that received the money. I have reported it and provided a recording and screenshots. This incident, I personally experienced, is real and valid.
【Conclusion】
Although 100U is not much, my floating loss is more than 100U, but this matter is a bit troubling. So
1️⃣ Only conduct C2C transactions on the Binance app.
2️⃣ Even if borrowing money from parents, confirm via phone + in person, it's best to write an IOU, and if possible, do not borrow🤣
3️⃣ Record on telegram, keep evidence, do not transfer money to unknown addresses.
