Oh, the horror! Binance’s CEO, Richard Teng, has issued a warning that’s so dramatic, it’s practically a Shakespearean tragedy. 🎭 This time, scammers are using *phones*-the ancient, unreliable technology-to trick users into changing their APIs. How *daring* of them!
These scammers are so good at pretending to be Binance support, they might even fool a parrot with a PhD in deception. 🦜 They’ll call you, sound super official, and say things like, “Your account is in danger!” because nothing says “trust me” like a good old-fashioned panic attack. 😂
Fake Binance Support Calls: The Musical
Richard Teng, ever the dramatic hero, warns users that no Binance employee will ever ask for your password over the phone. Because, obviously, that’s how you’d recognize a scam. 🛡️
Ring, ring! Could be a scam. ☏ (Or a ghost from the past, but let’s not get into that.)
We’ve seen a new scam: fake support calls trying to get you to change your API.
Remember, we’ll never ask for your passwords or credentials over the phone.
Stay vigilant… or else. 😈

Teng also shared a blog post that’s basically a survival guide for crypto users. Because nothing says “I’m a genius” like writing a 10-page manual on how not to be scammed. 📚
The scammers start with a friendly call, then escalate to “urgent security updates” and “your account is in danger!” It’s like a bad horror movie, but with more crypto loss. 💸
The worst part? If you fall for this, you’re basically handing over your wallet keys to a stranger. Because nothing says “I’m a scammer” like a little financial chaos. 🕵️♂️
According to the article, victims have lost hundreds to thousands of USDT. Because nothing says “I’m a scammer” like a little financial chaos. 🤡
Self-Protection Guide: Because Binance Can’t Hold Your Hand Forever
Binance is doing its best to track call patterns and API misuse. But let’s be honest, their main job is to protect your crypto, not your common sense. So, enable 2FA, use a passkey, and don’t answer calls from people who sound like they’re in a soap opera. 📺
Remember: If it’s legitimate, it’ll come via email or the app. Not a random call from someone who sounds like they’re auditioning for a spy movie. 🎬
