Common scams and how to stop them
Most scams rely on one thing: they pressure you and try to take you out of a safe space. Here are the five most common:
🚩 Fake receipt or screenshot
✅ Check your banking app to confirm the money has arrived
🚩 “Let’s move to Telegram”
✅ Communicate only in the order chat
🚩 Pressure: “Hurry up and release it, I’m running late”
✅ Wait until the full amount arrives
🚩 “I overpaid, refund the difference”
✅ Refunds are only processed through the order and support, not by transferring money to a card
🚩 Messages from “Binance Support”
✅ Support is available only in the app and will never ask for your password, code, or a money transfer
One rule: if someone is rushing you, stop and verify. This is educational material, not a guarantee: terms vary by country and bank.
If something didn’t go as planned 🤔
Already moved to Telegram or shared your details? Stop communicating, change your passwords, enable account security, and contact support through the app. Save your messages and receipts.
