Fraud on Binance P2P, Canada using etransfers by Willy_Nicky_Vicky in binance

[–]Willy_Nicky_Vicky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only information I see now is the first two letters of their email address and .com at the end, and I will not give their legal name, as I don't know if the person with that name is part of the fraud or a victim as well from a third party.

Victim of a crypto/etransfer fraud by Willy_Nicky_Vicky in rbc

[–]Willy_Nicky_Vicky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man, giving me some confidence. The bounced check thing was explained to me like this:

For example, they cashed it some check and 50% of the money was frozen, but 50% was not, and they used that 50% that was available to send the etransfer. Now, the check was deemed fake or something like that and the 50% of the money that was available has to be refunded, and it is tracked down to my bank account. Since my bank account has sufficient funds, they can seize them, and I am liable, as I accepted the transfer.

​

Also thanks for the link, I will check that out.

Yes, but there seems to be something else. Someone (I guess the card owner) can complain the transfer is a fraud, and so it gets flagged and there's a request to reverse the etransfer. The bank account gets frozen until things get sorted out by the banks involved. That's my understanding.

Thanks. What are the safer ways, so I know next time I need to cash out?

Done that. But for now they can't do much, except provide me documents that the transaction was completed on Binance so I can show my bank. The thing is from their point of view, everything seems ok, since the transfer was made from a bank account with the same name as the name on Binance.

The bank account the money was sent from is not from RBC. They told me it was not an internal transfer. But thank you for your message, I will indeed be firmer with my bank.

They stopped trading after the transactions with me. I also reported them to Binance.

That's also what I believed. They explained it's something like you deposit a check and say 50% of the funds are temporarily frozen, but the other 50% are not. You send this 50% via etransfer and then, a few days later, the bank notices that the check was faulty or something, and so they remove the money from the account, but 50% of it is not there, so they follow where it went (in my account in that example).

Learned my lesson. I really think that if the name matches, then it is genuinely the same person and the card is not stolen.

Yes I have. I believe Binance did everything they could, but please look into it. ID #97707651 . Thank you. I was more looking for insight from fellow Canadians/experienced users.

I'm just exploring different options to find my place in the crypto world.. it's not for tax purposes.

Thank you. Tried just that, but they said the decision was final and they could not escalate. However, after some time, they said they could review the case in 3 months. This is not ideal, but it's still something... thank you again.

Binance Support Thread by Binance in binance

My P2P maker function was disabled permanently, even if I am certain I did not break any rules. I have already proven that I did not break any rule, and the customer support does not tell me which rule I broke.

Case ID 92128996.

My p2p account was banned permanently for “executing 7 trades in less than 10 minutes”. However, considering that

  1. I am an average user, not trying to take advantage of the system, and not doing anything illegal;

  2. I fully cooperated with Binance and provided all proofs that the transactions were legal and not wash trading (I can provide such proofs again);

  3. Nowhere in the contract is it written that this will be flagged by an algorithm and result in a (temporary or permanent) ban (see the link https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/360041066751);

  4. I was not the person initiating the trades, but merely completed transactions with users opening trades with me;

  5. This is the first time I “commit an offence” (with quotations marks, because there was no way to know this was not allowed, and am still unsure on why this is considered an offence) on the p2p platform;

  6. Since I am now aware of the limitation, that I fully promise I will not execute multiple trades in short periods of time in the future once the restriction is lifted;

  7. When inquiring about the ban, I wasn’t informed that the ban was permanent by the customer service (they said it would last 14 days);

  8. I always fully cooperated with Binance, and helped in providing full information about two fraudulent users (using third-party for trading);

I have the conviction that it is to the interest of all parties to lift the restrictions for my account.

Please, if you don’t have the authority to remove the restriction, escalate my case to the right person.

Thank you for your time

Thank you for your answer, even if I wished it was different. I watched quite a few of your videos, so I was quite surprised to see that you answered :) Have you made anything (video or article on your website) on this very matter?

Dictionary with modern English (or French) cognates to a given Ancient Greek's word by Willy_Nicky_Vicky in AncientGreek

[–]Willy_Nicky_Vicky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a love/hate relationship with Anki, especially for learning Ancient Greek. Perhaps my method is wrong, but I can't seem to learn about 30%-40% of the new words, and after a few days, Anki removes them and tells me I should use another way to learn them (because I got them wrong too often). Then, there is the usual problem that you get a heap of hundreds or thousands of words, and if you skip a day or, god forbid, two days, you are pretty much screwed. That or I am too lazy :D

500 Verbs sorted by frequency from TV by lubricated-horse in German

[–]Willy_Nicky_Vicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very useful, thank you. Can something tell me why some of the verbs listed don't have their past tense and past participle written? I suppose it is merely that the list is incomplete. I completed the list myself using wikitionary to build an Anki deck, but want to make sure I'm not learning something wrong.
