There is no Binance customer support phone number. Binance says its support is only available through its official website, and that anyone who calls you claiming to be from Binance is a scammer.[1] If you found a "Binance support number" in a search result, an ad, a text message or a Telegram chat, treat it as a trap and contact Binance only from inside the app or the official website.
What Binance says about phone support
Binance's help centre has a short page on fake support phone numbers, first published in December 2018. It says support is only available on the official Binance website, and that Binance support will not reach out to you on unofficial channels such as phone, Telegram or X (Twitter).[1]
The same page lists what Binance will never do through unofficial channels: offer investment advice, offer entry into a giveaway, offer a "backdoor" to unlock your account, or ask you to send coins to any address for any reason.[1]
A newer Binance FAQ on avoiding scams says that if you are unsure who you are talking to, contact customer service through the official website or app.[2] Note what is missing from both pages: a phone line.
How the fake support scam works
The pattern is the same whether the brand is Binance, a bank or a software company. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) groups it as "Tech/Customer Support" fraud and says criminals pose as technical or customer support staff.[3] The usual ways in:
- Search results and ads. The FTC has warned that some scammers create fake customer service contacts for popular companies and pay for them to appear in search results.[4] IC3 advises caution with support numbers found by searching online.[3] This is why "binance customer support number" is a risky search: the top result may be an ad placed by the scammer.
- Spoofed text messages. Binance warns that fraudsters use software to change the SMS sender ID, so a fake text can land in the same thread as your real Binance 2FA codes.[5] The fake texts often claim a new login, a withdrawal or an API link on your account, or threaten to ban your account, and ask you to call a number or open a link.[5]
- Messaging apps. Someone in a Telegram group or a direct message says they are a Binance employee. Binance tells users not to trust such claims and to check the username first.[1]
Once you are talking to the "agent", the goal is your money or your login. Binance describes cases where users entered their credentials and a 2FA code on a phishing site and lost their assets.[5] The FBI says impersonators of customer or technical support ask for login details including MFA codes or one-time passcodes, then move the money fast, often to accounts linked to crypto wallets.[6] IC3 says that between January and late November 2025 it received more than 5,100 complaints about this kind of account takeover fraud, with losses over $262 million.[6]
The other common ending is a request to "move your funds to a safe wallet". Binance says it will never ask you to send coins to any address.[1] The FTC adds a simple rule: "Only scammers demand payment in cryptocurrency."[7] Crypto payments are typically not reversible, so a transfer to the scammer is usually final.[7]
How to check if a Binance contact is real
Binance runs a lookup tool called Binance Verify. Binance says it lets you check official Binance domains, email addresses, phone numbers, Telegram IDs, WeChat IDs and X handles.[2] Open it from the Binance app or by typing binance.com yourself, not from a link someone sent you.
Two limits matter:
- A "verified" result is not the end of the check. Binance warns that scammers often use the real names of Binance employees,[2] and says to stay cautious even if a Telegram ID shows as verified.[1]
- Binance does not reach out first on unofficial channels.[1] If the contact started with them, that alone is a red flag.
For text messages, Binance offers an anti-phishing code. Once you set it, real SMS from Binance include your personal code, so a message without it should not be trusted.[5] Binance also says a fake SMS or call does not by itself mean your account was hacked, and suggests checking your account activity log in the app.[5]
Big news brings more fake support
Scammers follow the headlines. After a major incident, such as the Binance hot wallet outflows of October 2026, many users worry about their balance and search for a way to reach the exchange. That is the moment a fake "account frozen, call us" message is most believable. The same playbook shows up with fake "AML check" sites that ask you to connect a wallet; see our guide to fake AML checkers.
Addresses that collect money from these scams are often reported and labelled. AML checkers mark them under the scam risk category, which is one reason it pays to check an address before you send anything to it.
What to do
- Do not call any "Binance support number". Binance support is not available by phone.[1] Use the support chat in the app or on the official website.
- Type the address yourself. IC3 advises using bookmarks to reach login pages rather than search results.[6] Do not use numbers or links from pop-ups, texts or emails.[3]
- Check every contact in Binance Verify, and stay cautious even when it says "verified".[2]
- Never share your password, 2FA code or seed phrase. The FBI notes that companies generally do not contact you to ask for a password or one-time code.[6]
- Never move coins to a "safe" address someone gives you. Binance will never ask for this.[1]
- Do not install remote access software for a stranger. IC3 warns against giving an unknown contact control of your devices or accounts.[3]
- If you already paid or shared a code, change your password, check your account activity, report the scam to Binance through the official app or website,[2] and file a report with the police, at ic3.gov[6] or at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.[7]
Beware of anyone who then offers to recover the money for a fee. That is a second scam; we explain it in crypto recovery scams.
