DON'T USE Binance Visa's card, they don't protect you. I've learned the hard way, so I'm reporting here so that you can't make the same mistake. I've been using credit cards like forever. In the past September I made a purchase in a German Marketplace for a professional equipment (valued a little over 1000€), like I've done many times in the past. The marketplace has a seller/buyers protection just like ebay or Paypal. Since this was 2nd hand professional equipment I was speaking with the seller about it, and we also spoke about other stuff in normal conversation, everything looked good. I decided to purchase the item from him, but he managed to forge a link into the paying system that looked exactly the same as the system the marketplace uses. So as you expect, I paid, he received the money, and after than he disappeared, never replied anymore, obviously sent no item, no tracking number, no nothing. 20-30min after I made the purchase, I receive an email from the marketplace, informing me that the person I was dealing has been blocked for the said practices. So there you have it, I was scammed for phishing I guess... Thankfully I paid using Visa that has mechanisms to protect the buyer, and surely, they will reverse or chargeback this payment. So right after I detected the fraud (only like 30min after the payment was made), I contacted Binance support... Good luck with that... they only replied next day lol. Anyway, I explained the situation, sent all the proofs of conversation, payment, and email I got from the marketplace, I have every proof of the purchase, and obviously the seller completely disappeared, so they have nothing from their end. They said they were going to check it out for me... Hey made me fill a bunch of forms (made on google docs) that looked pretty amateur, and told me to way 28 days.... I waited 28 days, then they ask me to wait another 4 or 5 weeks. By December I call them back to give me updates, and they simply ask me what happened
