Binance P2P makes buying and selling crypto simple, but it also attracts scammers who exploit traders’ trust. Understanding how these scams work can help you avoid losses.
Common Scam Tactics
Fake Proof of Payment: Fraudsters send screenshots or receipts that look real but funds never arrive.
Reversible Payments: Some banks allow chargebacks, meaning money can disappear after you release crypto.
Third-Party Transfers: If the payer’s name doesn’t match the Binance KYC account, it’s a red flag.
Expired Order Tricks: Buyers may ask you to trade after an order expires, leaving you unprotected.
Why Scams Succeed
Scammers rely on pressure, off-platform communication, and forged documents. They push you to release coins quickly or convince you to trust images instead of confirmed bank settlements. In countries like Pakistan, users have even reported sudden bank account freezes linked to suspicious P2P inflows.
How to Stay Safe
Release crypto only after funds clear in your bank.
Always confirm payer details match Binance KYC.
Keep all chat on Binance; never move to WhatsApp or Telegram.
Report suspicious users immediately.
Final Note
Scams cannot be eliminated completely, but traders who stay alert and follow safety checks are far less likely to fall victim. Protect your funds by verifying everything and refusing to trade outside Binance’s system.
