1. Everything Stays on the Platform
All account-related issues are handled on the Binance app or official website. If you receive an SMS asking you to call a phone number or click into a suspicious link, it’s a scam. Always cross-check any link or phone number using Binance Verify to ensure its authenticity.
2. Set Up Your Anti-Phishing Code
The red box shows a fake SMS from a scammer, while the green box shows a real message with an anti-phishing code from Binance. Always verify that the anti-phishing code is your unique code; scammers will often include fake ones to deceive you.
Anti-Phishing codes are unique 8-character codes that, once set up, will appear on every official Binance message you receive — helping you verify their authenticity. Learn how to set up your anti-phishing code here →
Remember, Binance will never ask you to:
Import an unknown wallet;
Install third-party software;
Call a phone number;
Grant access to private keys;
Click on links from unofficial sources;
If you run into any of these red flags, ignore and report the message to our customer service team.
