Beware of Binance SMS Scam Targeting Users

Fake SMS messages are tricking Binance users with scam links and phone calls. Stay alert and protect your account.

  • Scammers are impersonating Binance via SMS.
  • Messages claim your account is “at risk” to create panic.
  • Binance never contacts users via SMS or phone calls.

A new wave of SMS scams is targeting Binance users, tricking them into revealing sensitive information. These messages claim that your Binance account is “at risk” and urge you to call a fake support number or click on a suspicious link. The goal is to create a sense of urgency so that users panic and act without thinking.

These messages often appear to be from Binance, using similar branding and language to fool unsuspecting users. However, Binance has clearly stated that they never contact users through SMS or phone calls, especially regarding account security.

Recognizing and Avoiding the Binance SMS Scam

It’s important to stay vigilant. Here are a few red flags to watch for:

  • Urgent language like “Your account is at risk” or “Immediate action required.”
  • Requests to click unknown links or call support numbers not listed on the official Binance website.
  • Poor grammar or suspicious web addresses.

Always verify any communication through official Binance channels. If you receive an SMS that seems suspicious, do not click any links or respond. Instead, report it to Binance via their official support page.

Protecting Yourself From Crypto Scams

The best defense is awareness. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Binance account, avoid sharing sensitive info over text, and regularly update your passwords. Bookmark the official Binance site and always double-check URLs before logging in.

Education and caution are your best tools against online fraud.
