Binance's Popularity and Scam Risk

Binance is the world’s largest crypto exchange, serving over 280 million users. Its prominence makes it a prime target for scammers who impersonate support services. Users are urged to verify any information through official Binance channels. Unsolicited messages should always be treated with suspicion.

WhatsApp Phishing Targeting France and Italy

CEO Richard Teng warned that fraudsters are using WhatsApp to pose as Binance representatives, especially in France and Italy. Binance will never contact users in groups to offer investments, request payments, or ask for personal data. Similar impersonation schemes appear on Telegram and other platforms. Verification should be done via the Binance website, app, or verified social accounts.

Additional Security Advice

Earlier this year, Teng recommended enabling two‑factor authentication and using Binance’s safety tools after an SMS spoofing attack. Scammers sent messages claiming account access from North Korea and demanded wallet transfers, causing losses. Ongoing user education and community alerts are essential to keep crypto assets secure.
