Binance Impersonation Scam Reports for 1800 100 056

Three contributors have reported receiving suspicious contact from 1800 100 056 (also written as 1800100056) impersonating the Binance cryptocurrency platform. The scam involves fake SMS messages claiming to contain withdrawal verification codes, combined with aggressive phone calls when recipients respond. Contributors confirm they do not have active Binance accounts, indicating this is a broad phishing operation targeting random mobile numbers.

The pattern is deliberate and multi-stage: scammers first send an SMS that appears to come from Binance, then pressure victims to call 1800 100 056 to "verify" the fake code. When callers realise they don't have Binance accounts or refuse to provide information, the person on the other end becomes hostile and hangs up abruptly.

What Callers from 1800 100 056 Say

SMS messages claiming to be from Binance read: "Your Binance withdrawal code is: 388-169. Please do not share this code with anyone. If you have NOT requested this, please call: (1800)100056. REF:CB81112." The message includes the scammer's phone number and a fake reference number to appear legitimate.

When recipients call 1800 100 056 to query the unexpected code, the person answering is initially civil but becomes noticeably rude and aggressive once they realise the target does not have a Binance account or will not share personal details. Contributors report the caller hung up immediately after this realisation, suggesting they were moving through a scripted list of targets and abandoning unfruitful calls.

How the Scam Works

This is a phishing and impersonation scam targeting cryptocurrency platform users. The scammers' goal is twofold: first, to trick recipients into calling 1800 100 056 by making the SMS appear urgent and official. Second, once on the call, to extract personal information such as account details, passwords, or payment information under the guise of verifying the withdrawal.

The use of a real-looking withdrawal code (388-169) and reference number (CB81112) is designed to create urgency and authenticity. Since many people do use Binance or similar platforms, some recipients might initially believe the message is legitimate. The aggressive tone when the scam is questioned suggests the operators know they are dealing with victims who have caught on to the deception.
