I almost lost $100 from a scam attempt involving Binance and another P2P exchange.

Here’s how it happened 👇

I received a $100 order on Binance. The buyer marked it as paid and asked me to release the crypto. Since the money had already arrived in my account, I was close to releasing it, but I still requested proof of payment.

Instead of sending a screenshot, he only shared the transfer reference number. The sender’s name matched, and because the funds were visible in my account, I released the order.

A few minutes later, another buyer opened a $100 order with me on a different P2P platform where I was using the same payment/merchant name. He marked the order as paid without actually sending any money.

When I requested proof, he opened an appeal and sent a payment screenshot — but it was the exact same screenshot/reference from the earlier Binance transaction.

Luckily, I still had the Binance transaction details, so I was able to prove the payment belonged to the first order and won the dispute. ⚠️

How to avoid this scam:

• Avoid using the same merchant/payment name across multiple P2P platforms
• Always request a clear payment screenshot
• Verify transfer references, timestamps, and sender details carefully
• Avoid third-party payments whenever possible
• Never release crypto until you fully confirm the payment

Stay careful. Scammers are becoming more creative every day. 🚨
