I want to share a painful but valuable experience for all of us who operate in P2P. A few weeks ago, I made a transfer for an amount greater than agreed upon in a transaction. It was 611 USDT more. The client never responded, and of course, never returned what did not belong to him. I reported it to the Prosecutor's Office, but the response was clear: the transfer was my responsibility. Since it was not fraud in the strict sense, but rather my mistake, there was not much to be done. I lost money, time, energy, and even peace of mind.
DANGER! Scammers dominate P2P and could leave you without funds
More and more users are falling victim to fraud within the Binance P2P market. What started as a quick solution to buy and sell digital assets has now become a dangerous ground if the necessary precautions are not taken. 🚨 The new face of fraud in Binance P2P Recently, new tactics have emerged from scammers operating within the platform. Here are some of the most frequent: 1. Lack of payment knowledge The buyer makes the transfer, and you, as the seller, release the funds upon seeing the receipt.

P2P ALERT! NEW SCAM MODALITY IN BINANCE: 'Bank Reversal Fraud'
⚠️ WHAT IS HAPPENING? In recent months, a new and dangerous scam modality has been detected in Binance's P2P trading: the buyer makes the payment, receives the cryptocurrencies… and then reverses the money from their bank. What’s the outcome? You lose your cryptocurrencies and the money disappears from your bank account. 💥 HOW DOES THE SCAM WORK? The buyer makes a real transfer from their bank. You see the payment reflected in your account and, confident, you release the cryptocurrencies. Once the cryptocurrencies are in their possession, the buyer contacts the bank and requests a reversal of the payment, claiming it was an error or an unauthorized transaction.
"YOU CAN BE SCAMMED on Binance P2P… and no one will help you!"
These scams are real, it happened to a colleague… and it can happen to you. Juan is an average user. He is 38 years old, works all day, and is just entering the crypto world. He wanted to buy 100 USDT to save. He opened Binance P2P, found an offer at a good price and 97% positive ratings. Everything seemed safe… until everything went wrong.
😨 The story of Juan (and what you should know):
💳 He made the transfer and pressed "Payment made" as the seller asked. But the money never arrived. The seller disappeared.
The Script Scam: Are they offering you cheap USDT but you must operate in another country? They are going to rob you!
Many fall into this trap wanting to save a few bucks...
But they end up losing everything: their money or their cryptocurrencies.
🎭 How does the script scam work?
They contact you via Facebook or social media: "I have cheaper USDT, but you must open the order in another country." You access, change your market on Binance P2P (for example, you open in COP even though you are in CLP). You start trading with a legitimate merchant who is in that market. The scammer now tells you: "Send this code to my assistant via the chat of the merchant."
Signal groups are generally a scam, be very careful

🔹 Post 25 – “I almost fell for a scam, but something saved me”
💥 Suggested title:
🚨 “They were going to steal everything from me… and they didn’t because of a detail.”
📊 Text for Binance Square:
They contacted me on Telegram. They claimed to be from a private signals group with a 200% ROI. They instilled confidence: they used the Binance logo, spoke with a voice, and even had a Discord channel.
Everything seemed real.
They asked me to connect my wallet to a website to “receive the premium signal.” I was about to do it.
But something didn’t add up… 📌 The website wasn’t official. 📌 The domain had a weird hyphen. 📌 It wasn’t verified by any browser.
I searched on X and found: it was a scam. If I had connected my wallet, I would be crying today.
🧠 Since then: 🔐 I only connect my wallet on official sites 🚫 I don’t follow signals via DM 📲 I enable 2FA on everything ⚠️ I ALWAYS distrust what seems too easy

New scam in P2P: they block your banking app so you can't verify the payment
This case happened to a colleague experienced in P2P, and I share it so it doesn't happen to you.
It was a well-thought-out scam, and although it seems incredible, it can happen if you let your guard down for a second.
Read this carefully.
📌 What exactly happened?
A buyer opens an order for 100 USDT. So far, everything is normal. But: It does not mark the payment immediately. It waits almost until the end of the order time. At the last minute, mark 'paid' on Binance and send a bank transfer receipt.
