Phishing attacks never stop, and a new SMS phishing scam has recently surfaced. To keep your assets safe, please read carefully:
How this scam works:
1️⃣ You may receive an SMS appearing to be from "Binance," sometimes mixed in with legitimate notifications, claiming a withdrawal is being processed and urging you to call a provided phone number if you don’t recognize the transaction.
2️⃣ Scammers impersonate Binance Support over the phone and then send emails from suspicious domains convincing you to click a link to "verify" or "cancel" the withdrawal.
3️⃣ Clicking the link risks compromising your account security.
How to protect yourself:
🔐 Binance will NEVER call you first or ask you to call any phone number. Any SMS requesting you to make a call is a major red flag.
🔐 Note that scammers can spoof the sender's name — even if the SMS shows "Binance" as the sender, do not trust it blindly. Always verify the message content and sender authenticity through Binance Verify before taking any action.
🔐 Official Binance communications only come from recognized email domains and trusted channels. Be cautious with unexpected messages and avoid clicking links from unverified senders.
🔐 Contact Binance Support exclusively through the official website (binance.com) or official app. Avoid responding to unsolicited calls, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, or random emails claiming to be Binance.
🔐 If you have set up an anti-phishing code in your Binance account, official Binance emails and SMS will always include this code. If you don’t see your personal anti-phishing code, be suspicious of the message’s authenticity.
Staying vigilant and cautious is your best defense. Binance remains fully committed to your security.
