TREE NEWS update: Binance co-founder He Yi warned users about a new scam in which fraudsters send small amounts of GRAM via Telegram’s GRAM transfer feature and attach fake Binance announcements claiming the exchange was hacked and user assets are unsafe. The messages direct users to move funds into a purported Binance vault. He Yi urged users to stay alert to such schemes.
Binance’s He Yi Warns of Scam Using Telegram GRAM Transfers to Impersonate Exchange
AI take
The notable detail is the channel: the scam rides on Telegram's native GRAM transfer feature, turning a routine wallet action into a delivery mechanism for fake Binance notices. That matters less as a Binance-specific problem than as a pattern — impersonation is migrating into transfer flows where users may not expect official-looking text to arrive alongside funds. The people most exposed are those who treat inbound transfer messages as credible by default. Whether platform-level friction on unsolicited transfers follows is the open question.
