⚠️ I just got scammed out of ~$387. Sharing the exact chat so you don't fall for it.
I'd been going back and forth with Binance support over a Discord access issue that's dragged on for a while. Mid-conversation, a fake "Binance Support" chat messaged me — claiming to handle the "escalation" of that exact issue.
That's what made it so convincing. It fit right into a conversation I was already having.
How the scam worked:
🚩 It baited me with the REAL 500 USDC contest — "maintain ~$500 across your Binance account + Web3 wallet to participate"
🚩 Then told me to "sync my wallet via a rectification process on a Dapp"
🚩 Sent a drain link: resolutionsmartcustodial-hub(.)pages(.)dev — a fake Cloudflare-hosted site
🚩 I connected my wallet → drained instantly. Then a fake USD token showed up (bait to make you interact and lose more).
Binance has NO "wallet sync" or "rectification" process. Real support NEVER asks you to connect your wallet or click external links. That phrase = scam.
Screenshots below are the actual scam chat. Study the pattern.
If anyone messages you claiming to be support — even inside an issue you're already dealing with — it's a scam.
Learn from my $387 mistake so it costs you nothing.
@sunshinebinance this account is impersonating your support and actively scamming people: @SupportHelbu59 — please take it down ASAP before it drains someone else.
Follow the signal, not the noise. 🐺

@astupidmoose@PaulyTremonte Totally complex to write in a tweet and I get it. When I got scammed, I had questions, but the whole thing got me in the story and it brought down my critical factor.
@khan_mahee92226 I’m sorry to hear about your experience with being scammed. Please follow back so we can talk about what happened and discuss your situation further.
My retired dad was scammed by a friend who promised a business partnership for a $2,500 loan & fled. Now $100 is cut from his $130 pension, leaving just $30/mo. I need $300 to start a small business & pay his debt 🙏
