Binance restricted my account after suspicious activity. What should I do?

FAQ | Updated 2026-03-18

What to do first

  • Stop using new devices or networks for that account unless Binance requests a security check.
  • Save screenshots of the restriction notice, ticket numbers, balances, and any warning banners.
  • Secure your email, reset passwords, and enable app-based 2FA if you still control the account.

What evidence Binance usually needs

  • Your UID, registered email, timestamps, and any login or device alerts shown around the restriction.
  • TXIDs, deposit and withdrawal addresses, asset amounts, and screenshots from blockchain explorers.
  • A short explanation of why the activity may be tied to a scam case or compromised wallet.

How to write the support request

  • Keep the report factual and chronological.
  • Explain what happened, which assets are affected, and what review you want Binance to perform.
  • Attach the transaction trail rather than broad accusations.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Do not send conflicting tickets with different timelines.
  • Do not move funds through third parties to 'clean up' the trail.
  • Do not pay anyone claiming they can unlock the account privately.
