I used to use Binance's P2P, but I got scammed once through SMS
Care to share how did it happened with your experience? It's gonna be a good share if you can make a thread about it.
It's been ages since that happened. I once placed an order on Binance's P2P platform, using a local mobile banking service, let's call it XYZ, as my payment method. Shortly after, I received an SMS stating that I had received a certain amount of money, let's say "ABC"
Surprisingly, the SMS displayed my actual account balance, which led me to believe it was accurate, and without cross-checking on the app, I released USDT. However, later on, I discovered that the money hadn't actually been received. I'm still puzzled as to how they managed to display my real balance in that SMS.
I see, that's confusing on how it has happened and with these verification SMS' and emails, we gotta be really careful so that we can avoid it from happening again with all of these exchanges that we're registered with.
if you want to take it, do it somewhere else or with another device you've got. These links could contain malware, and who knows what's inside aside from that.
I don't recommend doing this even if he is going to use a different device. If this is a phishing email then the phisher's intention is unlikely to spread malwares but rather to steal victims credentials.
Most people use the same email and password to register on different platforms. If the scammers succeeds to get OP's credentials, he will try to log in in different platforms using them. There is a chance he will be lucky with one of them.
You've got a point. No other device can protect if the credential is the one that will be stolen. But at some point if that's really going to push OP with it, that's one way to protect himself so his main device won't be infected. That's why I think it's what he must do but you are right that much better not to.
