Users impersonating “being scammed by Binance executives” to extort Binance have been exposed by on-chain data.

Binance (Binance) Chinese community manager Sisi revealed a strange scam on the X platform, where a Binance user claimed to have been scammed by “Binance senior management” and demanded compensation from the platform. However, on-chain transfer records and backend IP information showed that the funds actually went to an address controlled by the user himself. This new type of “reverse scam” targeting exchanges involves impersonating victims to extort the exchange.

On-chain footprints expose “left hand giving to right hand”

Sisi stated that, according to on-chain analysis reports, the user dispersed funds through multiple cross-chain bridges and then transferred them back to a hot wallet with the same identity verification data. The user submitted chat screenshots claiming “senior management privately messaging requesting personal information,” but after comparison, it was found that timestamps, chat room avatars, and Binance’s official ticket system did not match.

After examining the original transaction hash, no official addresses were involved, and the claim “I was scammed by fake officials” was immediately debunked.

Year-end is here, and scammers are also starting to boost their performance
Today, I want to share a new scam pattern we’ve encountered, and remind everyone to pay attention to fund security during the year-end.

The incident started when customer service received a complaint from a user claiming to have been scammed by a certain “Binance executive.” The other party “promised” to help resolve some issues, but once the money was transferred, there was no more contact…

Exchange’s attitude is becoming more firm

In response to this new “staging” strategy, Binance no longer only issues risk warnings but also directly takes legal action.

The platform previously announced a $5 million reward for locating impersonators of Binance intermediaries, and now the same applies to fake victims. He Yi previously stated in a declaration:

We will pursue legal responsibility for any behavior attempting to confuse the public or maliciously extort the platform. Blockchain is transparent; all actions leave traces.

The legal team added that forging evidence and embezzling funds involve criminal fraud and document forgery, and serious cases can be transferred to the authorities.
