Beware of impersonating Binance scams
Dear Binance users,
We have noticed that some criminals have recently impersonated Binance to conduct fraudulent activities. To protect your account security, please pay attention to the following points:
1. Official channels: Always trade and manage your account through Binance's official website (https://www.binance.com) and official app.
2. Verify information: Verify any communication claiming to be from Binance to ensure that it comes from official channels. It is recommended that you use Binance Verify for verification.
3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Enable two-factor authentication in your account settings to add an extra layer of security.
4. Beware of phishing websites: Avoid clicking on unknown links, especially those received via email or social media.
If you find any suspicious behavior or need help, please contact Binance official customer service immediately to contact us.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Please beware of potentially risky SMS
Recently, some attackers are impersonating Binance. They contact Binance users through SMS, using abnormal device login as a pretext to coerce users to call risky phone numbers.
This is obviously not official, please refuse to operate and report to us through official channels.
Stay safe!🙏

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family.
祝大家中秋快乐，阖家幸福！

Fake Service Scams
Scammers can create fake websites or social media profiles that mimic legitimate crypto exchanges, wallets, or investment platforms, offering non-existent or fraudulent products and services to deceive users.
Fake customer support channels where scammers pose as representatives of legitimate companies can trick users into paying for the solving of non-existent issues. Broadly speaking, these diverse schemes fall under the category of fake service scams.
Since the losses of digital assets are usually irreversible, Binance encourages users to stay informed and vigilant to protect themselves.
For more details, please refer to the blog.

Warm reminder: If you have been scammed and even gave the scammer your account password and 2FA (which happens in most romance scams). In addition to changing your password, you also need to quickly reset 2FA.
Please contact our official customer service for help.

1. Please make sure that all apps and plug-ins you use are legitimate versions downloaded through official channels.
2. Before completing any transaction, please be sure to carefully check that your withdrawal address is correct.

Love-crazy will make you lose everything
Lily met Fan on Instagram, and after a few days of chatting, they soon confirmed their love relationship. Fan recommended crypto investment to Lily, but because Lily didn't know how to operate, Lily gave her Binance account password to Fan and recharged 20K USDT through P2P. Fan then tried to withdraw funds to his own external crypto address, but was blocked by our risk control rules. Finally, Fan transferred Lily's funds to his own account, which was also frozen by Binance.
The above is a real case, and what we need to tell you is:
1. Don't fall in love easily online, there are scammers everywhere on the Internet.
2. If you have been scammed, trust Binance, and report scam in time so that we can help you.

Tommy received a text message that appeared to be from Binance, warning he that Expired Tax Document and he need to complete verification on Website Link provided. Concerned, he clicked the link provided, which took him to a website that looked like the official Binance site.
Soon after Tommy filled all information, he received a call from someone claiming to be a Binance representative. The person instructed him to scan a QR code and perform a facial verification. Trusting the process, Tommy followed the steps, unaware that he was being scammed.
After the verification, Tommy was instructed again from the call to access Binance Application & complete Facial Verification once again. In a short time , Tommy received Binance Application Notification , 6 ETH had been withdrawn from his wallet. He realized this was a phishing attack but Tommy already suffer Financial Loss.
In the story , we had saw that Scammer created an Urgency Text to Tommy makes Tommy nervous. Soon later Scammer could easily take advantage of Tommy’s Identity to pass thru verification & withdraw Tommy’s Funds.
It is critical to understand that the any type of Verification (i.e Email Verification , Facial Verification) are security measures taken by Binance to protect user accounts. Therefore, we should never easily provide this information or perform these actions without first verifying the legitimacy of the request. 
Tommy should have contacted Binance customer service directly to confirm the request, rather than easily disclosing sensitive information. He should have used the official Binance Verify Tool to confirm the authenticity of the process before proceeding.
Safeguarding your digital assets requires vigilance. Never share information or perform verification steps unless you have confirmed the request is from a legitimate source.

If you are doing P2P trading and the other party asks you to verify your Binance account by scanning a code, is it safe to do so?

Regardless of whether it is a verified account, we should be wary, especially of investments and returns that sound unrealistic.

Stay safe.🙏

Fake police may affect your life.
Xiao Ming is an international student. One day he received a call from the "Shanghai Police". The "Officer Li" on the other end of the phone claimed that Xiao Ming was suspected of money laundering. "Officer Li" asked Xiao Ming to submit a property report and a certificate of self-innocence, and ordered Xiao Ming to transfer 100,000 USDT to a designated address to ensure his personal freedom during his return to China. As an international student, Xiao Ming was of course very nervous. He quickly raised the required funds and completed the transfer quickly. After Xiao Ming returned to China, he went to the public security bureau where "Officer Li" was located without stopping and saw the real Officer Li. At this time, Officer Li did not know Xiao Ming and said that he had never contacted Xiao Ming. At this time, Xiao Ming realized that he had been deceived.
The scammers are using the real public security website to gain the trust of the victims and coerce the victims to transfer money. The victims are not allowed to tell others during the whole process. Please tell your friends around you, especially young people or the elderly, about this kind of scam, as they are often the target group of scammers. If you find that you or your relatives and friends have been deceived, please call the police and contact Binance official customer service as soon as possible.

Address poisoning
Address poisoning is an attack method in which the attacker creates false transaction records on the blockchain, causing addresses controlled by the attacker to appear in the victim's transaction history. When the victim makes a new transaction, the victim may mistakenly send funds to these false addresses.
How address poisoning works
a. Creating a false transaction
The attacker first creates a small transaction to send funds to the victim's address. This transaction will appear in the victim's transaction history.
b. Disguise as the victim's address
When creating a false transaction, the attacker uses an address that is very similar to the victim's address (usually the first and last few digits are the same). This makes the victim mistakenly believe that this address is a legitimate address they have used before when viewing the transaction history.
c. Inducing wrong transfers
When victims need to make a new transfer, they may copy the address from the transaction history. If the victim does not carefully check every character of the address, it is possible to send funds to the address controlled by the attacker.
How to prevent address poisoning?
a. Check the address carefully
- Check character by character: When transferring money, check the address character by character to ensure that every character is correct.
- Use address labels: Use the address label function in the wallet or exchange to add labels to commonly used addresses to avoid misoperation.
b. Use security tools
- Hardware wallet: Use hardware wallets for transfers. Hardware wallets are usually more secure and can prevent address poisoning attacks.
- Address book: Use the address book function in the wallet to save commonly used addresses and avoid copying addresses from the transaction history.

The number of scams impersonating official TrustWallet/Binance has increased.
Some victims learned through the telegram group that TrustWallet is the hot wallet officially supported by Binance to increase trust, scammers told customers that the Binance official is now holding events that can generate stable returns, in order to guide users to transfer money for investment.
1.They will pretend to be Binance customer service to guide users to withdraw from Binance to their own Trustwallet, and then guide customers to transfer to the attacker's online wallet.
2.Or some attackers will directly give users mnemonics and users log in to the attacker's Trustwallet directly. Then when the user withdraws from the Binance platform to this wallet, the attacker will directly control the wallet to transfer to the target online wallet.
We recommend that you be cautious when trading. If you have any questions, please consult Binance official customer service.

Scams impersonating financial regulators are rampant
Scammers impersonate the official account of the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) on social media, post fake information and provide fake services. Scammers promise to help users recover losses from previous fake investments, but only if they pay a fee. Once the user pays, the scammers disappear immediately.
Stay safe in the Crypto world!

Be wary of off-exchange P2P services on social media
A user reported being scammed while attempting to exchange USDT for dollars via Zelle. Initially, the user made a test deposit of $1000. After this, the scammer claimed that the minimum required amount was $2000. The user then deposited an additional $1000, but after this second deposit, the scammer cut off all contact and blocked the user on Instagram.
How to Avoid Off-Exchange P2P Scams
1.Use Reputable Platforms: Conduct transactions through reputable exchanges that offer escrow services and protection against fraud.
2.Be Skeptical of Too-Good-To-Be-True Offers: If a P2P deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Exercise caution and perform due diligence.
3.Educate Yourself: Stay informed about common scams and how they operate. Knowledge is your best defense against fraud.

Off-exchange P2P transactions, while offering some potential benefits, come with significant risks of scams and fraud.
Using reputable platforms like Binance P2P, which offer robust protections such as escrow services and user verification, can significantly reduce the risks associated with P2P trading.
Educating yourself about common scams and exercising caution with too-good-to-be-true offers are essential steps to navigating P2P cryptocurrency transactions safely.
