I have come across such users that do request for your phone number for swift payment and never have I sent them my number because I truly do not see how my phone number will hasten the transaction process.
And if they insist on sending number before payment then just leave the transaction time to elapse so that everything automatically cancel,
Topic: Something dangerous we do when using Binance P2P platform - page 4. (Read 474 times)
Now that I see this topic by @_act_ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62974201
I am starting to believe that this is possible, not even by a professional hacker but a small time thieves, you want to know why I said this? I have been using Binance exchange and also the service they provide through their P2P, and I always see buyers telling sellers to drop their mobile number or else they won't go ahead with the transaction.
Take a look at this screenshot, I took this on Binance P2P service and I am sure that users of Binance P2P must be familiar with this.
Truthfully, if you don't drop your phone number they aren't paying, I know that some are doing this to notify you to release funds after, as some sellers are not serious, they can initial the trade and start doing something else, wasting someone else time, but the truth is this act is out of Binance platform, you break the rules if you decide to do trade with such people, they have your phone number and they can text dangerous link to you pretending to be from Binance.
I strongly believe this is how the victim lost is phone number to strangers, to make some transactions a success, and yet losing your data in the process, I hope this teach people something new today.
