Binance has issued a vital warning regarding communications on WhatsApp, clarifying that they will never reach out to users regarding investments or personal information through this platform. This message follows an uptick in phishing attacks where scammers impersonate Binance representatives.

“Seeing more phishing scams on WhatsApp lately. Please stay cautious – Binance will never message you in groups about investments or funds. If in doubt, verify first.” — Richard Teng (@_RichardTeng) November 7, 2025

Furthermore, the exchange has identified that these deceptive practices are particularly prevalent in France and Italy. Users are urged to validate any questionable messages by consulting official Binance channels.

In a recent announcement, Binance stated:

“Let’s be clear: Binance will never contact you on WhatsApp to offer investment opportunities, request payments, or ask for your personal information. Anyone claiming to represent Binance and reaching out to you this way is attempting to scam or defraud you.”

This warning highlights the need for vigilance among users who should always stay informed and cautious regarding unsolicited communications. Richard Teng has previously recommended enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) and utilizing the security tools available on the Binance platform to protect against potential fraud.
