Bitcoin Forum

All greetings, recently very often messages from swindlers in telegrams began to come, in different groups they search for beginners and try to entice ETH, be vigilant and do not fall into the trap of such bad people.Who already had this?

I agree, there are more and more scammers, I do not know how to deal with them! Be carefull! I wish everyone good luck and fewer pests!

I have not received the notice of the scammer.
I'm pretty confused about that scam news. Can you show me the pictures of that scam message? I think I need more accurate pictures and inform my friends.
currently, has a lot of intrusion into your account and steal Bitcoin hacker and i do not want to become a victim.

I unfortunately do not have photos of these scammers because I blocked them and deleted them, but if I still send them to you, be careful, they look for telegrams to themselves in different chat rooms, I'm very worried that honest people would not become victims .

Yes with all this ICO rise,  telegram become a good place for scammers, You need to remember admin never PM you with offers to buy some coin with discount.

Good day, yes, really fraud in recent times the most developed type of deception of beginners in the field of crypto-currencies, beginners need to be careful, it seems to me necessary to create a separate topic where all the rules of conduct in such sieves are told

these scammers are very troubling, they are not just in telegram, but scattered everywhere. if we get a message or offer from a source that is not clear, then do not click anything and do not respond to it.

Yes I've seen a lot of scammers impersonating ICO managers or popular personalities on Twitter/Youtube, use cheap and false tactics to trap novices. I noticed several scammers create a scam token similar to actual token, one such scam token arrived recently, Polymath(POLYM) while actual one has symbol POLY, beginners sent them a lot of ETH to get this scam token.

Telegram Private message is full of scammers. So, never believe anything you get in those message.
Just look for official IDs and BOTs posting about in the official channel or group. Verify it with their blog and never ever share private keys anywhere.

i think it all boils down to how much research is being done before committing to any ICO even those in telegram.
before committing to any ICO, be sure to always do your research (web,posts,team,etc) before buying in.
if you can't find any, then it's best not to commit.
for now, users just beware of such scams.

Yeah,these scammers are too desperate to scam people,asking for everyone's private keys if they know the people they are talking to doesnt know anything in the market.So newbies like me should be aware of these schemes because they can easily use social engineering to steal our private keys.Doesnt make sense because newbies wont have big portfolio not unless we have millions in fiat.

if you want a real scam get you some p3d tokens

what's this?

Fully agreed with you that first slack was used to scam people and now telegram is using by many scammers to fetch coins from you. They comes to you in the name of ICO admins and ask you to invest in their ICO and so on. Always report spam to any person who is not known to you and want to chat with you in the name of any company and delete that chat instantly because no ICO admin send you pm before you ask any question from them.

Good to make the people aware of these scammers. The new scammers are smart and if you are not careful, you might fall into their traps. If you ask something is a group and suddenly someone PM you saying he is from that group, he may be a scammer. I have experience this kind of things.

Of course, you need to distribute as much information as possible about such bad people as fraudsters, they are not accustomed to earning honest labor and investing any forces and efforts in their work, looking for new victims and profits, so you need to create more chat rooms, talk more to your acquaintances, friends, show photos if there is something that they can wait for they will not block suspicious users, so if you doubt it is better to immediately say that there is no money and block, so as not to be deceived.

These days I do receive many people sending me a message to get some bonus of project which I am already part.They try to convince to get you more bonus than other investors.Do report them and also inform the team of such scammers.

There are many fraudsters in the telegraph group who swindle the investors, who are not good people, and I hate them.

Of course there are a lot of such people who of course there are many such people who see that you write to a group of telegrams of a certain prospective company with some question, for example, I had this with the fact that I did not know whether it came to someone for a bounty company, and then the scammer writes to me right away in a personal message that immediately if I send him 0.5 ETH , then I will receive my reward, while in the profile of telegrams hangs an announcement that managers never have nothing to ask to transfer to a purse, here's the fraud.

Hi sir, thanks for the warning.
I am more often a scammer who administers admin from ICO projects.

Yes, many thanks for the warning, because every day we have to be wary of cunning and arrogant people who freely want to take our means that we honestly earned.

you need to be always careful otherwise you do not know which side the scammer can come from, and after all they are so cunning now that everything is so believable that you even start to believe, the main thing is always to remember that real managers never would have written such a thing and you can always throw off a picture of a fraudster or the person in whom you doubt.

like all those who've mentioned before.
be cautious with everything that you see online.

This is really alarming, it's getting out of hand especially from ICOs telegram groups. They would clone the admin and if not for an experienced one, someone would surely fall for their trap and get ripped of hard earned money. Moreover, no admin would send you pm first. Stay away and don't fall for their trap. Thanks

Yes, there are many scammers on telegram. The last time that I encounter is that people try to copy the admin so they can scam you or use yiu to get accounts and buy whatever they sell or do what they told yoy. So guys, please be aware and be catious on who to trust. So please pick a good groups.

Hi all,

I have already invested in Celcius network, Salt lending, eth lend ICO's and want to invest in Welltrado.
What do you think guys? Is it an interesting project?

Thank you for your answers!

Thanks for information sir.

Yes, I also wrote a fraudster in a telegram on behalf of the administrator.

since then, there are more people like that, before, they were on slack, then change to gmail, and then now on telegram, those people must avoid. so better be careful to those scammers.

yes. i agree. there's a lot of scammers trying to get our attention these days. mostly when we started a conversation in a group, the scammers will send a personal message and pretend to be really concern as if they are the REAL admin.

if an administrator in my telegram is writing to you first, that person is definitely a scammer.

Well i've already met these scammers in telegram they are usually hanging out in ICO groups in telegram i nearly lost my ethereum because of those scammers pretending that he is the admin good thing that i asked someone in the group and the real admin itself replied to me in group chat that they are not sending PMs so, i've reported hom and he got banned in the group and he will not receive any tokens.

Many thanks to you for having warned! This is very relevant information for me. Aware is armed!

The more popular cryptocurrencies are, the more cheaters appear. No one can prevent it, so the only way is to be very careful.

The most important is do not trust any new person which propose you good oferts, because it is probably scam and false

more and more scammer so far no more than 4x anyone who wants to cheat me pretend to dev a project, so be careful...never trust an unknown person let alone send an ETH or whatever it is.

I am enjoyong how these people are asking to send some ethereum for their projects,you will find that most of these people are indians ,because they can easily be noticed using their grammar! they think that most of the people are dumb enough not to know a scam attempt and i like fooling these people that i have something  ;D

what?would you mind putting some links or make your story long further?so we will have a go sight on what you really wanted to imply?whats that swindlers has to do with the victim?and in what way they wanna scam?sorry for this mate but im very vigilant in everythingim doing inside bitcointalk becausi know more of users here are good if may not best in computer and on that many might become a hacker or scammer.

With the growing popularity of cryptocurrency, the number of scams is increasing. That is why it is important to be alert and to inform about such activities because such scams will be more and more.

Sorry for interrupting, but maybe my experience would be useful for you. Fortunately I never lost my money, but I had many dialogues with scammers. As a rule this happens like this: you join some telegram group or chat of the project you are interested in. In some time someone with the name similar to the admin name (e.g. the same one, but without whitespaces - looks very alike) contacts you and asks you "Hello sir, have you bought our tokens yet?". You say "No", then you are offered to buy the tokens with a huge discount or bonuses or something like that. Usually they try to make the dialogue quick, use pressure (like time is limited) in the hope that people will transfer their money without any checks. Be careful and watch out!

First i would like to say thanks for your remind of this because its very often happen and they will try more harder to get newbie victim.
I was experiencing this before, someone said that they are from team.of the project try to offer me good price for token and they ask me to send etherium and i never send them since i know they are scammer. So please everybody aware in term of scammer so we can deny bad thing happen to our asset.

I am glad I was not victimized anymore. But I surely beware from that scammers. I hope they stop doing this. So the newbie can start earning without any fear.
Thanks for the reminder friend.

Scammers are spreading and they are using telegram to scam people. Always be cautious on joining on groups and never give any amount of money or your private keys to them.
