Understanding the Binance Scam Phenomenon
Overview of the Recent Binance Scam
A new and highly sophisticated Binance cryptocurrency scam is targeting users, resulting in significant financial losses. Scammers spoof Binance’s phone number and send SMS messages that look almost identical to official communications. These fake messages warn users of unauthorized access to their accounts, creating panic and urgency.
How Scammers Exploit SMS Spoofing
One of the most alarming aspects of this scam is its ability to mimic legitimate Binance SMS threads. Messages often claim unauthorized logins from places like Bucharest or Greece, exploiting users’ fears and prompting immediate action.

Why Binance Users Are Targeted
Binance is one of the largest cryptocurrency platforms globally, making it an attractive target for scammers. The platform’s large user base and frequent activity provide ample opportunities for fraudsters to exploit unsuspecting users.
Anatomy of the Scam
Common Patterns in Scam Text Messages
Victims report receiving messages such as:
“A new login was detected from a device in Bucharest, Romania. If this wasn’t you, please contact us immediately at +611800751270.”
These messages appear in the same SMS thread as legitimate Binance communications, making them seem genuine.
If you’ve been targeted, don’t wait! Contact Cyberclaims.
Sophisticated Social Engineering Techniques
When users call the provided number, they’re greeted by professional-sounding individuals. These scammers are skilled at gaining trust and convincing victims to take actions that compromise their assets.
The Trust Wallet Manipulation Explained
Victims are instructed to transfer their cryptocurrency to a Trust Wallet for “protection.” Once assets are transferred, scammers request the wallet’s passkey to “link” it to Binance. Instead, the wallet is emptied, leaving victims without recourse.
Why This Scam Stands Out
Absence of Suspicious Links: A New Tactic
Unlike traditional scams, these messages don’t include links, making them harder to detect as fraudulent.
Authentic-Looking SMS Threads
The messages blend seamlessly into legitimate SMS threads from Binance, adding a dangerous layer of credibility.
Professionalism of the Scammers
The individuals involved in these scams are polished, knowledgeable, and convincing, which makes it even harder for victims to identify the fraud.
