⚠️ 🚨🚨P2P Scam Warning 🚫

Hello Binance users,

If you trade on Binance P2P, this information is very important. Many people buy or sell USDT/USDC and receive payments directly in their bank accounts — but this comes with risks. Here’s what you need to know:

Buying Scam:

When you buy USDT/USDC, you send money from your bank to the seller. But sometimes the seller may take your payment and refuse to release the crypto.

Don’t worry — you can start an appeal, and if your payment proof is correct, Binance will return your funds.

Some sellers do this on purpose, so stay alert.

Selling Scam:

When you sell your USDT, you expect the buyer to send money to your bank. Scammers often try this trick:

They don’t send the money, but they send a fake payment message to fool you.

Never trust notifications — always check your bank account manually before releasing your crypto.

Final Tips:

Stay calm, be careful, and double-check every step. This is the best way to avoid P2P scams.

Note:

If I made any mistake, please excuse me.

This warning message contains accurate and helpful advice based on common risks in Binance P2P trading, as outlined in official Binance support resources.

Key Points from the Message (and Why They're Correct):

When buying USDT/USDC (you pay fiat to the seller):

Risk: The seller receives your money but doesn't release the crypto.

Solution: Appeal the order on Binance. If you provide valid payment proof (e.g., bank transfer confirmation), Binance customer support typically releases the crypto to you or refunds if needed. This is protected by Binance's escrow system.

When selling USDT/USDC (buyer pays you fiat):

Risk: The buyer sends fake proof of payment (e.g., edited screenshots, fake SMS notifications, or reused proofs) to pressure you into releasing crypto early.

Solution: Never trust screenshots, messages, or notifications alone. Always log into your bank account/app manually to confirm the funds have arrived before releasing crypto. This is the most common P2P scam, and Binance repeatedly warns about it in their guides.

General Tips:

Stay calm, double-check everything, and use only the in-app chat for communication.

Additional official recommendations: Trade with verified users who have high completion rates and positive feedback, avoid third-party payments (name must match), and don't move conversations off-platform.

The message appears to be a genuine community-shared alert (likely from Binance Square or social media), not an official Binance announcement, but the information aligns perfectly with Binance's own safety articles (e.g., "How to Avoid Proof of Payment Scams" and "How to Avoid Common P2P Scams").
