Binance said a listing seeking $900,000 for material advertised as 335.9 million exchange records is likely a scam, citing inconsistencies in the offer. The listing claims to include identity documents, credentials and private keys.

The 335.9 million figure describes the volume claimed by the listing, while $900,000 is the requested price. Binance's assessment challenges the credibility of the offer; it does not confirm that the advertised records are authentic or that an exchange breach exposed them.

The listing's stated count applies to the claimed records as a group, while the offer names identity documents, credentials and private keys as its purported contents. Binance's stated basis for calling the listing likely a scam is the inconsistencies in that offer. The count, price and contents are all details attached to the same claim, rather than separate confirmed findings. That distinction keeps the advertised number separate from a verified breach tally. A listing's stated scope is not itself a confirmed exposure total.
