"just got a pm from a friend who's friend got scammed out of 10k btc by a hacker claiming to be from binance support, apparently this is a legit-looking fake account with the same email as binance's real support. anyone else heard about this? 300+ people got hit, not sure how this went unnoticed for so long"

Yikes, sounds like a classic phishing scam. I've heard of these fake support accounts popping up before, but 300+ people getting duped is crazy. Binance really needs to beef up their security measures to prevent this from happening.

"Wise warning everyone, folks! That's a nasty scam. Always double-check the authenticity of any support account DMs before responding or sending any info."

"Dude, that's insane! I had a friend who got hit by a sim swap scam last month, and it was a real nightmare. Glad people are speaking out to prevent more people from getting scammed, thanks for the heads up!"

"Dude that's wild, 300+ people falling for it? I've heard of scammers impersonating Binance support but this is on a whole other level, gotta keep our eyes peeled for this kind of thing. Glad to hear it's been flagged and taken down already!"

"Yoo, what a wild scam. Glad Binance is taking action, but 300+ people getting hit is still crazy. Does anyone know the best course of action for those who got scammed, like getting their funds back?"
