⚠️ Be Aware of Binance P2P Scams in Pakistan 🇵🇰
Binance P2P is one of the most popular crypto trading platforms in Pakistan — but it’s also becoming a hotspot for scammers targeting new users. Every week, traders report losing funds, frozen bank accounts, or falling for fake payments.
Let’s break down how these scams work — and how you can protect yourself. 🚨
🔍 What’s Happening
P2P (peer-to-peer) trading lets users buy and sell crypto directly using local bank transfers. Binance provides an escrow system, but scammers are finding loopholes to trick users, especially outside the platform’s chat or payment flow.
⚠️ Common P2P Scams in Pakistan
1️⃣ Fake Payment Proof Scam
Scammers send screenshots of fake bank transfers and pressure you to release the crypto. Always verify funds inside your bank account — not from screenshots.
2️⃣ Third-Party Bank Scam
The buyer pays from someone else’s account (not in their name). Later, the real account holder reverses the payment — and your bank freezes your account.
3️⃣ Overpayment Trap
They “accidentally” send extra money and ask for a refund. Soon after, the original payment is reversed — you lose both your crypto and refund.
4️⃣ Off-Platform Scam
They contact you on Telegram or WhatsApp, offering better rates if you deal outside Binance. Once you send crypto, they disappear — no support, no recovery.
5️⃣ Account Freeze Fraud
Some scammers send money from stolen or hacked bank accounts. The victim reports it, and your bank account gets frozen for investigation — even if you’re innocent.
🚫 Real Cases from Pakistan
Users on Reddit and Telegram have shared stories where bank accounts were blocked after P2P trades.
Some traders lost thousands of PKR after releasing crypto before funds were verified.
Others were scammed by “verified-looking” traders using stolen identity documents.
✅ How to Stay Safe
1️⃣ Always verify payment in your bank account before releasing crypto.
2️⃣ Never accept third-party payments — name must match the buyer’s Binance name.
3️⃣ Avoid off-platform chats; keep all messages inside Binance.
4️⃣ Report suspicious users immediately through Binance’s “Report” option.
5️⃣ Trade only with trusted merchants with high completion rates & verified badges.
6️⃣ Keep transaction records — chat screenshots, payment proofs, and receipts.
7️⃣ Don’t refund overpayments — contact Binance support if that happens.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Binance P2P is safe only if you follow the rules.
Scammers are smart — they exploit trust and rush you into mistakes.
