In Pakistan, someone recently learned a hard lesson about trust in the digital age. As a newcomer to Binance, they were eager to start trading and thought they were being cautious. However, one mistake proved to be very costly.
It all started when they accepted a payment from someone who seemed trustworthy and even provided their ID for verification. Feeling confident that they had done enough to ensure safety, they continued trading. But the very next day, their account was frozen. The bank did not explain other than that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had blocked it.
After three long months and numerous visits to the FIA office, the truth was revealed. The payment they had accepted was part of a scam. A fraudster had contacted a woman on Facebook, pretending to be her uncle in distress. When she couldn’t reach her real uncle, she sent money, believing she was helping a family member.
The scam didn’t end there. The fraudster managed to convince the woman to send even more money. By the time she realized something was wrong and reported it to the bank, the damage was already done.
The fraudster had used the woman’s identity to open a Meezan account and received payments, which were then converted into cryptocurrency on Binance. Unfortunately, because this person had accepted money from that fraudulent account, their account was also frozen. Stay alert and protect your accounts from potential fraud!
