Stay safe in 2026 by knowing how to spot and avoid imposters. Scammers often pose as staff, business development leads, or "Angels" to steal your funds.
How to Spot an Imposter 🚩
Unsolicited DMs: Legitimate staff and "Angels" will never message you first on Telegram, WhatsApp, or other social media.
Urgent Demands: Red flags include pressure to click suspicious links for "rebates," scan unknown QR codes, or download "mandatory" compressed files/installers.
Sensitive Requests: An imposter may ask for your seed phrase, account password, 2FA codes, or screenshots of your balance to "qualify" you for a reward.
Payment for "Security": Be wary of anyone asking you to send funds to a specific address for "verification" or to "unlock" your account—this is 100% a scam.
3 Essential Safety Steps 🛡️
Use Binance Verify: Always check a person’s email address, social media handle, or website link through the official Binance Verify tool.
Verify the Tag: Real "Angels" in official Telegram groups will always have a "Binance Angel" tag next to their name.
Check Social Proof: Fake profiles often have many followers but very few likes or comments on their posts.
If you've interacted with a suspicious link, stop immediately, change your password, and contact official support through your app dashboard.
