Binance: Recently received user reports of false SMS fraud, the official will never contact users by phone

According to official announcements, Binance has received user reports of recent false text message scams and found that users in Bahrain are particularly vulnerable to being targeted. Binance reminds that users will never be contacted by phone and does not operate any call centers. SMS is only used to send OTP codes and does not come with a call center number. The only reliable source is the official website and application. Previously, there have been multiple cases of counterfeit money security SMS scams in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission responded that according to the Securities and Futures Ordinance and the Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Ordinance, it is a crime to operate regulated activities and provide virtual asset services in Hong Kong without a license, and/or actively promote such services to Hong Kong investors in Hong Kong or from outside Hong Kong. As always, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission will not hesitate to take appropriate action against any violations, but will not comment on individual incidents, reminding investors to only buy and sell virtual assets on virtual asset trading platforms licensed by the Commission.
