Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Binance announced that withdrawals are resuming in phases following a recent service disruption, warning users of a surge in opportunistic scams targeting customers during the recovery period. The exchange said fraudsters are impersonating Binance via direct messages, emails, group chats and even small on-chain transfers with attached messages, offering paid "priority processing," "compensation claims," or transfers to fake "Binance vaults." Binance reiterated that it will never contact users first, charge fees to unlock withdrawals, request wallet connections or signatures, or ask for passwords, 2FA codes or seed phrases, noting that once a user signs or authorizes a request, third parties can move assets and on-chain transactions are typically irreversible. The company directed users to check pending withdrawal statuses in the official app and to verify channels through its official verification page. The warning underscores heightened operational and reputational sensitivity around the resumption, with customer asset security in focus. Watch for the pace of the phased withdrawal rollout, any updates on the underlying cause of the disruption, and further scam-related incident reports as users regain access to funds.
