Title: How to spot a SCAMMER - Telegram groups Post by: big_daddy on July 24, 2020, 03:09:09 PM I'm using Telegram as my first choice chat app, but this is not what this topic is about
I'm am trying to help people to spot a scammer on Telegram groups, especially the newbies entering the crypto world due the bullish trend should be very very very careful From time to time, I'm using Telegram groups, the official one, to get some support and usually I'm looking for an admin You cannot expect them to be online 24/7, so there will be a delay getting your answer, but my experience until now is that I'm getting in touch with them in 24h or even less And this is great, cause time is money, we all know that 8) Most groups has some "pinned message" on top where you can find who the legit admins are Do not PM/DM them, start a common in group chat and mention them using the "@" and their username, it's more convenient At this stage, you can expect to receive a private message from a scammer, presenting himself as a legit admin I will share now today's experience You will see how people easy falls into a scam trap: That's my click-bait: https://i.ibb.co/YbHy7fY/4-EA107-DE-66-EC-4-D2-C-872-B-35-A167341-C72.jpg (https://ibb.co/ZNqY6ct) Those are the official legit admins: Pay attention on their @"username" https://i.imgur.com/7aZ0fN3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/65lMKLk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OBqE4Kk.jpg And here it comes the scammer: A minute after https://i.imgur.com/daMm12D.jpg The picture is the same, and he/she is trying to use the same @"username", but in the "Bio" field https://i.imgur.com/e1OOkaS.jpg It's a most common scam on Telegram Eyes open and double-check everything Cheers!

1) Either he's offering you an unbelievable deal which you can't pass (usually this happen in ICO groups) 2) Or he'll try to get you to invest into a pyramid or ponzi with his referal Title: Re: How to spot a SCAMMER - Telegram groups Post by: big_daddy on July 25, 2020, 05:32:10 PM ^ or in a case of tech support you can be asked to give your keyes for example
