This figure lowering scam happens alot olnot only on p2p market place but all other payments from stranger's such as bank transfer, pos withdrawals and p2p, the scammers always attempts to be smart by sending a lower lookalike wrong figure, and if the receiver is not Smart enough he may confirm payment and realease goods, this is payment scam.

That is why it's important to confirm the payment on your side always.

If it is not the correct amount then you should certainly clarify this to the buyer so that it can be fixed before you release money from the escrow.

Most scammers in P2P marketplaces either get the ban hammer or negative trusted like on this forum. (I believe the whole point of the trust system here was when this place was primarily a P2P marketplace.)

P2p scams are common these days and one can avoid being scammed by the scammers by being aware during p2p trading. I've been doing p2p trading on Binance from a long time and so far I haven't come close to such scammers. It's always better to only deal with reputable p2p sellers or buyers for being safe from such scammers.

Binance P2P is not scam.

The one who tried to send you the wrong amount is to blame.

no one is saying that binance p2p is a scam, the title is meant to be understood as "someone is scamming on binance p2p", this isn't the this happened on binance p2p.

Although those scamming with that have known the possible liphols and try to take advantage of it, but we all have to be smart enough to dictect their tricks, because it always happens when we are too busy and have divided attentions,.

Before releasing the order, we must ensure that the amount we want to receive has been arrived by verifying the payment method, whether through the application or the bank’s customer service, etc., and ensuring that the agreed-upon amount has arrived in full from the merchant, and not relying on screenshots sent by him and not rushing to release the order. The conversation must be within Binance only without communication outside it. It is also better to deal with merchants who have a high rate of positive ratings and have verified Badges as trusted traders. Mistakes are likely to happen, but this does not prevent the presence of scammers on P2P,, and we must deal with this matter with caution. Indeed, the point of dividing the amount by you OP and selling it through p2p in parts is a smart approach, rather than selling it all at once to a single person as this method reduces the risk and provides an extra layer of security.

The following two articles published by Binance will be useful for more information:

I understand you've already provided details about the chat, but it would be helpful if you could also include a translation of the conversation.

Based on your post, it doesn't appear to be a confirmed scam since you haven't released the funds, and the buyer didn't benefited from that. It could simply be a scam attempt, or as you mentioned it might have been an honest mistake with the buyer accidentally sending a lower amount. I've experienced similar situation myself, where I sent less than intended amount to seller. It ended up my Binance account on hold because of that matter. But still thanks for posting this, consider this as reminder. It's always best to double check the amount received from the buyer, as Binance frequently reminds us to do so.

To the best of my knowledge, most of the exchanges that have a P2P feature always have a warning that the receiver should check their balance before releasing their coins. In fact there is one that even mentions that some users of a particular bank can manipulate the receipt. It is a good thing that you caught it on time. Do not take it like an innocent mistake. Know that you were about to be scammed by that buyer and like you already wrote it is a wake up call to newbies to never be in a hurry neither should they allow any buyer to put pressure on them to release the coin when they are yet to confirm from that the money has been deposited in their account. It is not a binance issue. And even these exchanges know that there are scammers who pose as buyers. So they do their best to control them through the warning messages for the sellers.

Lucky you were not really in a hurry, and you don't have much transaction that goes on in your account that could have led you not to discover that scam attempt. Well, I don't know if we can believe the buyer for saying they made a mistake or not, or if it was actually a scam attempt.

I've given him a benefit of doubt because just a few days ago I was overpaid by a merchant in Bybit P2P before the buyer realised the trade had already been concluded. It was when I checked my completed order history that I noticed he overpaid me by an amount close to $3, to which he dropped me a message with an account number, which I returned the fund back to. So sometimes most of them actually do make mistakes because of too much order on their hands, but sometimes it's a voluntary action. We just have to be super careful in order not to get scammed.

This is not only done in Binance, I have seen some merchants do similar things on other P2P platforms; like they marking the trade as “paid” without paying and then pressuring you to release the coin that you’ll receive the money and the delay is probably coming from your bank.

The last one I post about was Becareful when using P2P, which usually happens on Kucoin where the merchant would use a certain price on their ads but when you click on it and want to sell to them the price changes without you being notified (it doesn’t happen in Binance though).

Two or three days ago I was selling dollars in Binance P2P. I keeped lower the minimum limit for getting high price. I was in hurry because I have to go to Madrasa (Islamic University). 4 deal was successfully completed but the fifth one was tricky. The buyer open the order of 14900 PKR(Pakistani Rupee) but he send me only 1490 and then asked for releasing the order. Thanks Almighty Allah that I checked the incoming payment history and didn't scammed.

Buyer then apologize for his mistake and He said that he just woke up from sleep which caused the mistake. I don't know whether he is telling truth or this is part of track but we should be careful very much. Personally I selling in parts to reduce the risk.

My Goal from creating this thread to attention newbies when using P2P in any exchange so that we don't loss our hardworking profit due to small mistake.
