🔍 Binance Exposes Fraudulent Listing Impostors: A Tale of Deception

In a modern (and very irksome) twist of events, Binance has forearmed the Web3 aristocracy against a veritable army of scoundrels, posing as its bejewelled employees or agents.

No Intermediaries, I Beg to Differ

The illustrious crypto exchange, Binance, has thusly issued a proclamation to the refined Web3 projects and their respective teams, warning of the opportunistic scammers that incessantly promise victims a coveted spot on the exchange’s comprehensive list-should a not-inconsiderable fee be forthcoming.

In an edict that would befit the quill of Evelyn herself, Binance reminds us-perilously (here)-that such mendacious claims are but scams. As rigidly instituted by Binance’s code of merit, the listing process is a subjective examination, scrupulously weighing up community clamour, the oscillating paces of market conditions, and the persistent viability of business models. For plainness’s sake, it is paramount they maintain this rigour.

It should, therefore, come as no surprise that the exchange promulgates a strict policy tantamount to zero tolerance for those interlopers termed “third-party intermediaries.” Direct communications-with an affable nod to founders or those residing in the enlightened corridors of C-suites-are the only impersonations Binance acknowledges.

“Binance engages, forthrightly, directly with projects; and any and all applications or communications shall be forwarded directly from the project’s sagacious core team, whether they be Founders, Co-founders, or C-level mandarins,” reads an austere declaration from the exchange.

Indeed, a clarion warning is thus issued: projects using boondoggles in the form of third parties to list their tokens shall find their applications rejected. Furthermore, they shall be barred-a term I use with soft affection-from consideration, consigned to the shadowy netherworld of blacklists.

Alongside, Binance, with delicate exactitude, prances around the issue of no so-called “listing fee.” Rather, it seeks champions whose promises align with its ethos, sometimes generously endorsing budget offerings for initiatives such as airdrops-for exuberant users, naturally. The exchange consents to collect tokens post the heralding of an official declaration or a duly executed pact, signed by both estates. Prior solicitations of such kind, it must be stated, are as conspicuously fraudulent as a tomcat professing virginity.

As a means of self-preservation, projects are enjoined to verify the identity of those proclaiming affiliation with Binance, using the official Binance Verify portal. Enter an address most electronic, a telephonic number, or a messenger’s handle, and be assured. The company, ever the vigilant warden, implores anyone approached by a dubious claimant to promptly report such business to Binance’s customer support, lest the community fall prey again to perfidy.
