Be very careful of this new type of scammers in Telegram. They use the names and pictures of beautiful girls. The way they operate is that they show themselves in the telegram chat of whatever coin you are into. They don’t directly private message you, but they say something to call your attention or somebody else’s attention to start a conversation and eventually take the conversation private.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCAMMERS!

Spread the word, we need to protect ourselves from them!.

You would need to be very naive to fall for something so completely obvious. But then again, I've seen even CEOs of companies not even understand the most basic of scam tactics on Telegram. So I can see why some broken english guy from India might fall for such a seemingly obvious trap. It's very simple guys, don't send money to anyone for any reason on Telegram unless you know them!

Probably most of those photos they are using can be found easily on google. Don't look for a girlfriend on telegram and don't even respond to people you don't know.

Nothing new here. Although first time I hear about this particular tactic. But it is well known that if you put a picture of some beautiful lady, even better with sexy pose you can easily pick up some newbies and play with them as you want. There are even people who just go there and take photos of some random person, such as they find everything on from public fb profiles and pretend to be he/she even they are not. Honestly I am getting sick of telegram with many people spamming all over. not to mentions spams that are happening on twitter and discord all together. We can conclude that this is all working for scammers as they continue to do these things. This is why it is important to know that they exist. Very detailed article, good share.

Is it actually new? I feel like I've seen these type of scams in pretty much any related to money online  :D  It would be pretty dumb if someone actually falls for such an obvious scam (pretty girl talking to you alone asking for private info and/or money? fishy)

I doubt people here in forums who join cryptocurrency related Telegram channels are looking for a girlfriend in those telegram channels, or maybe it is a thing, I don't know.

As the popularity of crypto is increasing, number of scams and their types are increasing day by day be it telegram or twitter. Every page is doing an airdrop of X coin. You'll get 5000 X coins after they reach 1000 followers. To get 5 million X coins, just send them 0.01 ETH. Don't fall for any of them. Be a little vigilant and never login in your wallets with private keys on any unknown website.

I read the entire article and have o say that whoever falls for this must be extremely stupid. This conversation takes so much time and those screenshots look very fake at the first sight.

This is not a "new type" of scam. It's pretty much just like a typical scam, just with actors that are willing to spend time to convince their target. Thanks for the heads up anyway, might help the noobs.

Oh wow, using photos of hot girls to soften up men for scams? That's revolutionary! Whoever thought of that must be rich by now. _/s

Lol but yeah on a more serious note, you can prevent a lot of trouble by simply not talking to people you don't know. That advice works both in crypto and life in general lol.

Also, thinking with your dick is a bad idea, as you might imagine.

At first their intention might just be to gather some onfo about the project they are into, but when such person appears and pretends to share the same mindset and looks good on the photo, emotions start to act very speciously.

Haha, so true....just ask Bill Clinton!  ;)

It may seem obvious to the vast majority of us, but i'm sure there is a very small percentage of people who fall for things like this.

As the saying goes....a fool and his cash are easily parted! (i concur as i forgot to put a stop loss on a trade last night!  :-X )

This is a typical scam that's been happening not only on telegram but on all social media sites, forums and most notably in the forms of emails, just open your spam box and there'll be hundreds of them wanting to meet you. There's no way to stop it, but follow a simple tried and tested rule, do not talk to strangers until you know them, or someone you know knows them. I'm sure many of us would have avoided this, but I'm sure many newbies would have fallen for it, so a good share.

are you a victim of  this type of scammers? we barely need to spread it to void any lost to our wallets,

a new trick for bitcoin criminals, usually the mode used is selling non-account, which indeed criminals offer relatively cheap prices to attract the attention of victims through forums where transactions or bargaining prices are carried out on telegrams, my advice is you do not easily believe someone else or you will lose a lot of your bitocin.

Thank you for this. In fact, I don't think there is any cryptocurrency group where these scammers are not present but one thing that I know is that you cannot be scammed if you are careful enough and follow the dos and don'ts. If you have any reason to establish a private chat with any individual, don't leave any of your security informations.

The screenshots were taken by me. They are not fake. You may not fall, but there are many newbie people in the world in crypto that may fall. Not everyone is as smart as you are.

Well, I never trust any social media account with a pretty "supermodel style" girl as a profile picture especially if it's half naked.  I will just ignored them because I know they hide something behind their sexy bikini.  :D

Very true. we should careful for all these things and any circumstances we should not transfer any amount of currency on private address and never share private key to any one.

Some persons are just lazy and naive, they do not want to think for themselves but instead will prefer someone to think out for them and at the end they are scammed. wen too many scammers on telegram, especially during ICO they may ask you to send your bitcoin to a private, funny some guys do fall for it. Too bad.

What would you call this type of scam?  Is it ICO or cryptocurrency related scam or romance scam?  Either way, if you found love on Telegram, your prayers have been answered, however, when your supposed love now starts demanding for stuffs to be paid in cryptocurrency, then, you should wise up.  Do not fall into all these romances to the extent of dropping your Private Key, some people could be that easy to manipulate. Other scam included but not limited to those who would message one out of the blues to buy coins directly from them. We all know this, caution needs to be taken here.

This seems like a very elaborate way to not get much. I think most people should and would realise this was a scam in some way before they gave away their details. The saving grace even if they didn't is that most people usually have the smarts to use different usernames and passwords for different things. Even still, if you spare one person then that's your good dead for the day done.

 Those scammers developed a different type of approach. This one however takes a lot of time to accomplish because gaining trust in other people's eyes through telegram is a very hard task.

This type of scam has a name.It's called ewhoring and it's a black hat way to drive converting leads to dating affiliate programs or to trick the victim to pay using cryptocurrency or giftcards for a private cam show.
This is a pretty old scam method.People can find lots of info about ewhoring in forums like Hackforums.net...
I guess that all the "ewhores" had moved from Skype,Kik and Snapchat to Telegram. >:(

Thank  you for  sharing mate  ;) there are  lot's  of scammer  out there   we must be careful  scammers  because they will do  anything.  always  double check  to whom you are talking about  your tokens, wallet   etc.   

Thanks for sharing this with us. There are lots of scams going on there. You will just see a random message out of the blue, obviously, the sender of the message got your contact from an ICO page one joins. You'll either be told about a new coin entirely and that she has access to giving you mouth watering bonuses. It does not even end there, one could be telling you about Private Key and all. Those people are very cunning and manipulative. Do not even keep the conversation going. Another could be there telling or luring you through love related messages. They are boss in their game, playing it perfectly. In the long and short run, your coins are at stake if care isn't taken.

Yes, the world and people living in it have discovered the powers embedded in women bodies and that is why the pictures of women are used for selling points for any gathering, organizations, telegram profile etc.

Even ico groups or teams tend to be guilty of this too. They showcase women very seductively dressed when they take group photos and all the rest. These are usually gimmicks to win people over to one's side and if you are unlucky, you could either be scammed directly (in terms of sending coins) or later (when you invest wrongly in a scam ico because of the beautiful ladies pics that you have been stocked with).

Well, these are pretty obvious scams taking place openly on the internet and even on the telegram groups. However, there are some serious scam attempts which might steal your funds from you and your web accounts. They pretend to be the service/support representative of popular web wallets or exchanges and they ask you about your confidential information, newbies for such traps and lose their money. That's why it is crucial to do own research before doing anything.

..i thank you for this kind of scam alert..well,,we cannot prevent the faster spreading of these scammers..because they do exist everywhere..what we gonna do is to become wary and be a keen observant on what is happenng in our sorroundings and in the world of crypto..when money is involve,,there is no assurance that your investments are secure..so before you invest,,do some of your investigations if they are really legit or not..make sure that you invest the things what you are afford to lost..

Once I have already stolen 4000 dollars. Now I'm very cautious and do not see suspicious sites!

You will be surprised, people fall for almost any kind of trick, it doesn't matter if it seems very obvious that it is a scam, so I really think that is important to spread the knowledge about this new form of scam that scammers are using to try to get money out of you, I still think that those that are smart will never fall for it, but if we can save at least one person then it's worth the effort to spread the news.

Thank you for the information you provided, I have also found a telegram chat like that but I never opened it even to respond because I thought it was a very unimportant thing and we did not need to respond.
I also heard about this, so I am very careful.
I think that such fraud has happened for a long time and many types of fraud can take your data not only through telegrams.
so for that be careful in doing anything especially things that look very prominent for us to open a blog or another.

Lol. Thats very old technique and also as a crypto investor I would never fall for such traps! I mean already crypto is filled with full of scammers and thus getting ourselves trapped into fake profiling would be the worst case scenario. In the telegram I will never accept the PM from anyone and it doesnt matter how hard they call themselves as admins, official person etc. Also, no admin will contact you by themselves and this is also always mentioned by them in the telegram group of their project. So surely anyone falling for the traps like this would be stupid person at all.

Ouch? what happened? How did you get $4k stolen man?. Please share so we can be aware too.



Trust me, there are a lot of newbies in crypto that would fall for this. Many probably have fallen already.

Greedy people in money was always their just like what link you've send. I wonder that they doing everything to victim and to get a money from you. Scammers are so intelligence in terms of scamming so that is what you need was be vigilante on who and where are you giving your identities or the KYC to use for the illegal transaction. Alwaya be carefull and don't come into their traps and get your money.

Scammers try all the time something new and improve their technologies. I think they probably get a lot from their deals and that's why they become more and more. So everyone needs to be very careful and try to avoid any strange activity.

I hate these fraudsters very much because they have deceived my hard earned property. Thank you for your tips, which is very helpful to me!

You have to be very stupid to get into such tricks of swindlers. I think if you are a sensible person, you will never be deceived by scammers.

This is no longer new but some people can still fall victim of this. There are several of these kind of scammers on virtually all cryptocurrency groups on telegram, whatsapp etc. You have to be very careful. As mush as possible, be smart not to have any kind of dealings with someone you don't know at all.

These scams are not only going with telegram, people are taking advantages of other social media platform to steal our bitcoin. The chase goes on facebook, whatsapp and even snapchat. BEWARE!!!!!!!

If anything that is just another reason, as if we needed even more reasons, to not use social media as much and to not give details about who you are and especially about the amount of bitcoins and other cryptocurrency that you are holding, I see a lot of people brag about the amount of coins that they're holding not understanding that they are just putting a big target on their backs.

If they don't want to have your coins hacked then opt for AML BitCoin. The only coin that cannot be stolen.

This is not new. Actually, this is very basic. I thought I was going to read something unusual.

Anyway many people though still don't know these kinds of scam. I give OP +1 for it.

oh, i met so many girls like that. Some people say they need money and ask me a few altcoins, some people want to deal with me and scams. I always block them and delete conversation. On the telegram, everything is not real and I access it just to see the notice of the ICO project.

Good for me I don't even talk to strangers, But if I were to then it will be the end for, my accounts are somewhat link to each other and certain passwords are altered a little to chance the phase. These scammers are all around the internet and I have been done once and I have learned a lot of lessons so I don't go to any sites unsafe.

Yeah, although most of these scammers are probably men using pictures of random pretty girls stolen from social media.

euros for 1 bitcoin we accept payments only on company account by bank transfer ahmed.demir1088@gmail.com

Desperate for an opportunity to jump aboard in the next big thing, cryptocurrency owners are losing money by investing blindly in fake Telegram ICO websites and the most is the telebot created buy fraudsters requesting for your  details and at the long run you would get nothing as stipulated buy the telebot you would receive after the of ico and in some case the account would be deleted before the ico even begins. i have had such experience after completing the task both in facebook and twitter, the bot prompt up that i would be credited  some tokens  into my ethereum wallet via the address given as requested by the bot when filling the form after the end of the ico till today it is a story even a bot requested for my key and immediately i deleted
that telegram page. you can imagine someone pasting his ethereum wallet address keys in a telegram chat forum even when their attention was called they ignored and left it there what would you think or say about such action form that individual?

Many scammers these days and want to steal our coin. Hackers have many ways to steal our coin and we should always carefull to keep our private key and always checking on web security

I think we can use social media like usually. But be aware for someone who we not know and always remember don't trust anyone in crypto. This thing which is spread to people all over the world to avoid scam.

You're right. You should be careful with everything around you. Scammer and hacker are around us.

From the looks of this news there could be many victims with since most of the member here in the forum are males and this means that as human as we are our drives to those beautiful girls is strong and the worst thing is that you will going to realize that you are being scam after you disclosed or paid that telegram user which is using fake images and etc.

Actually this is not new to other social media like facebook wherein the scammer uses images and pictures of a sexy lady to scam other guys out there who is also like to watch those nudes and sexy videos and pictures. The victims are usually those who are pervert that likes this kind of show and for that they always end up getting scam. Anyway we should not blame them because even they get scam they like it also.

Can't believe people are falling for this one, instagram models lurking in crypto channels?  :P

Definitely! There are so many scammers in whatever platform it is and if they private message you and you don't know him/her, it's already a red flag. They may flaunt their bodies but if I know, it's just some guy who knows how the minds of other men works and he is just taking a chance that someone who is naive would fall for it. Usually, it would be those that are new to cryptocurrency and not that aware of the many scams that are going around.

Well definitely it is not all about love instead it is all about lust. There is no way you found love by showing sexy pictures and nude photos or videos on telegram. It is all fake and they are faking it because they want you to believe and then let you pay for it. I could not believe that there are small brain people that actually fall in the likes of this scam!

Yeah there is no way that many people here in the forum could be outsmarted with low balls scam. This is really basic scamming activities and we can identify this one. Maybe the one who posted this thread was a victim of getting scam and after he was being scam he posted it here basing on his experience.

This is new for me because i thought telegram were safe to use and recently i just read the article that if i'm not mistakes that scammers use the particular foto to tempting us to make conversation with them and they will eventually offering to join at ponzi scheme which is they already joining it and get many of profit with showing fake evidence but they attempts to get our passwords from registering at the particular sites

it is usually the other way around! meaning it is crypto channel "guys" wanting to earn some money so they pretend to be a model and scam people by pending to be female and pretend those photos belong to them and take money from gullible kids who are horny all day long :D

if you are asked to send btc or any other coin, be very cautious already. SEX sells, we know it we guys always fall for sex, be it nude or not we always talk to girl but if they ask to send first then its going to be something of a scam. a lot of times girls talked to me in facebook with our local dialect asking me to send BTC, but i just told them they are not good at scamming and its not too late to change career.

I think you are right .you should be careful with everything around you.scammer and hacker are around us.

Lol, this scammer has nothing

This isn’t new. Use common sense.

Unfortunately Crypto has absorbed all kinds of the worst SCUM of the Earth and until there is more work done by the Community to stop these people, a lot of mainstream people will not even touch Crypto. The number of times I have been sha8fted by various nasty entities, many lurking even here on Bitcointalk forum, is a joke.

What you should do is use this thread to name and shame these nasty entities and their telegram ids so people can avoid them. My Husband started a thread for bounty cheaters as they keep trying to steal our content and pretend they are us. Yeap, these low lives will do anything in their power to steal from honest peeps in the Crypto Community. It's a real shame, but the only thing we can do is try to get together to catch these nasty elements so others can be warned at least.

there are more to this happening on telegram mostly targeted at crypto investors. you may never how much scammers are on a page until you ask questions relating to buying an asset. you will see many of them sending you a pm and pretending to be Admin or one of the staff. if you fall them, regret will be the outcome. its very sad that telegram is only good in banning users for some informations that they do not properly investigate. more than 50% of users involve in crypto have one ban or the other.

Thank you for sharing this article with us. More and more scammers are coming out and wanting to get all our money. I believe they will not last long because God will see them.

I've encountered people like this. Thet used other names from other project like they built a team but those people were not aware that they are on that team. Like they are an organization that scams people. At first they are so very active on campaigns and later on after token sale they just disappear. So be careful guys.

That's quite obvious isn't it ? People who ask for money upfront , it may be a loan without any collateral, a scheme that requires an investment, HYIP etc... are obviously trying to scam you. It's better to avoid such people. I do sometimes chat with them wantedly and have some fun :P to get an idea about what  techniques they use to scam people.

I still don't understand how people fall victims to telegram scams, any person trying to offer you high yield investment ,using a model picture on dp or getting in touch with you for no reason sake is all scams ,I've seen a lot on telegram personally,there tricks is just too cheap for me ,stay away from money doublers too ,oh yes they exist on telegram ,telling you to deposit ETH in a contract address that you will receive double back ,its all lies and of course some stupid faucets ,Btc faucet ,ETH faucet? Stay away they are time wasting ,in the end you won't be able to withdraw any penny.

I don't think that is not new type because i already read somewhere about this

Good articles, will be a concern for someone who is just joining the crypto currency and I guess bounty hunter is a very vulnerable person with this type of scam. Bounty hunters will be more often telegraphed because they need information about the development of an ICO project. However, I just think if someone who has experienced this type of scam is those who are hungry for women. Personally, I always think that crypto currency industry is anynomous so it is very rare for users to share their personal information in a forum and even show personal photos to people, so I just think that having a photo of a beautiful woman on their profile is not a real person.

I think you should always be careful with scammers because scammers have many ways to grab our money through new things. so we must always open our account and check it.

Any environment has a scammer! Be considered before using personal information! Themselves to ensure safety for yourself!

This is not a new modus of those thieves not only on telegram even on social media and others, they do this to caught your attention and message them then start to get your feelings and get all things they can get from you just like on facebook twitter or others.

I agree. There are a plethora of hackers and scammers in the cryptocurrency community these days and they will not disappear anytime soon. Instead, they continue to grow as time passes lurking here and there and waiting for a chance to steal from people.

Majority of the investors have already secured their funds in an effective manner, but there are some investors(Newbies primarily) who fail to use their brains and end up losing their valuable funds. Be careful people.

yes it's true we have to be careful with hackers. because hackers are now smarter and rely a lot on ways to hack our accounts to take our money. so we must always be careful and check our account always.

it has happened a lot and most often they offer a crypto investment and force you to put your money into coins / tokens they offer, and in the end it never gets on an exchanger, they just want to cheat.

Scammers can indeed be found everywhere, so we must remain vigilant. Whatever it is, everything depends on us, it's better to be careful and stay alert. This is a challenge that will never end and must be constantly watched.

There is now improvement in this scam, they now put a shady websites link on their profile page, saying, "click here to view my beautiful pictures".

I hope telegram bot makers will create one to avoid this.

We have to be aware of it and be careful of what site you are accessing. Scammers are living everywhere and ready to hunt victims who are unaware of how to secure accounts. We should study first what is being offer to us and ask others about it if they encounter the same things to know if it is really legit. Do not enter easily for the trap.

Thanks for your info,
God damn, why scammers always find a way to try scam us...

I advise we better not try to chat with the strange person on telegram if you don't know who she/he to prevent scammers...

;D ;D ;D ;D it is fun but true. Mostly profile with beautiful picture are scam. We should becareful with these kind of scam

An important step for you to avoid scammers is, never send money to someone else for no apparent reason
if you send small money around 1 - 5 USD, it doesn't matter, but if you are told to send money above 100 USD, it will be a problem and we also know that in the online business world, someone's identity can be fake and even can freely create multi accounts
stay alert, not only on telegrams, but on all social media

i have encountered some scammers on telegram, they offer to buy your coin at a very tempting price, after reaching a conclusion they ask you to send your coin to an address they will provide, claiming to send you bitcoin after receiving your coin, but they will never send your bitcoin after receiving your token, please let's be careful.

This is one of the most common forms of fraud from the past, not just on Telegram. I think Telegram is a social network to work and exchange electronic money, I do not think that is the place to find a girlfriend. So, a girl positively asks about your wallet, you should take precaution.

Well, a friend of mine got a email from a supposed hacker telling him that he/she hacked into his webcam and his computer and recording all his porn surfing and him masturbating to the porn and he/she will post it on Facebook, if the victim does not deposit X amount of bitcoins into a specific address.

He ignored it, because he is not into porn and his webcam is covered, so they do not have footage of him masturbating to anything.  ;D
This shows us that these scammers will try anything to get to your money and also your bitcoins.  >:( >:( >:(

I still don't get how people cannot suspect anything when they're asked to enter the private key/phrase/etc...

This is indeed a nice awareness from the OP scammers are always devising new methods  and tricks to scam people on daily basis those tricksters had started using bitcoin for their nefarious activities obviously the gullible ones can easily fall for this scam, we just have to be at alert to avert or avoid being scam.

Thanks a lot for this kind of important information. Yes, it is true that there are lots of scams in telegram group. I also heard about this few days ago, so now I am very careful. In the long and short run, your coins are at stake if care isn't taken. So we must be careful scammers because they will do anything. But I am very careful about the scam and I believe that I would never fall for such traps!

Scammers are increasing and they have new ways to cheat people, stay cautious and don't believe easily if you don't have proof, so our bitcoin assets remain safe in the wallet.

There are also tons of scammers posting on Facebook groups and funpages of Cryptocurrencies. Most of them are posting screenshots with a fake prove of their first withdrawal, which is 100% scam. It is pretty sad to see so many people trying to scam others, so stay focused and be careful.

It's true. A lot of scammers are now in telegram.I think we need to double check the  identity of telegram users and be careful about this scammers. We need to spread this kind of news more to protect our friends.

Actually this is really true. They message me once last week that they have this  project they want me to invest to them because they have a great future. But of course i real thoroughly their project and search all the people involve and i discovered that these people are not even real like they just use others name. So be careful guys.

I have an experience currently,  there was a guy who disguised as one of the admin or developer of the project i am also currently promoting,BQt, ,  asking me to send ethereum to his given address but i call him and wants to have a video call but didn't answer so the only choice i have is to block,  not just ignore. 

Too complicated circuit, there are easier options to get data. Despite all this, I don’t understand how people can peck on easy money. Surely, by the 20-25-30 years, people should understand that it is not easy to double their investments, and when it comes to 10fold increases, everything becomes clear right away.

A new kind of fraud ... Why is this not surprising? Now we need to be extremely cautious every day, danger may be waiting for us everywhere. In the cryptocurrency world you can not believe anyone except trusted sources

Probably it's just excitement. For some reason, people believe that they can get easy money and therefore fall into this trap. We should not forget that free cheese is only in a mousetrap

I'm more afraid if the scammers send me pm with a good offering because I don't usually care much about the chat in the telegram group

Thanks for the heads up mate. It is the activities of these scammers and hackers that have made the crypto community full of fear and distrust but we are glad that their schemes are being displayed day in day out so that innocent people don't fall into their traps anymore.

that's for sure bro. because I always try my best to protect all asset assets that I have. therefore I never filled the cellphone or lectop where my assets were stored. for things that can hurt me bro ..

You would need to be very naive to fall for something so completely obvious. Every page is doing an airdrop of X coin. You'll get 5000 X coins after they reach 1000 followers. If you have any reason to establish a private chat with any individual, don't leave any of your security informations.

Unfortunately, this is human nature.  Even before our conscious mind can make a measured, calculated response; the unconscious has already picked up the [sexy] cue, and released a torrent of hormones.

The trick is to think of every beautiful girl profile as a wily scammer.  But, this is easier said than done.

I have a 'beautiful, sexy girl' profile on Facebook [that I don't use to scam people!] and my cousin knows it's me; yet, every now and then, he wants to chat, just to get that hormone surge from chatting with a beautiful girl, even if it's on a profile!

Yep many scammers in telegram, one day I tried to contact their exchange support in telegram I'm having a problem with it and then someone pm me in telegram one of the admin of exchange and they want me to pay 1 eth to solve my problem lol that shitty scammer.

they do anything for money, even cheat.
be careful with some foreigners who offer big profits with ico or trade. you should ignore their invitation and leave

This is about the cheapest scam you can come across on telegram and unless there is something wrong, you are not expected to fall for this. People get added to several telegram groups without their consent. While some of this may be good, some are pure scam. Learn to leave scam group immediately you noticed.

I've read this Medium post entirely and it is very interesting. It is called social engineering scam. Good to know all tricks these scammers are up to. If they are doing that it means a lot of people are falling in these traps, so every warning is very welcome.

yes right, I have experienced an incident almost deceived by a telegram fraudster, he claimed to be the manager of a project and wanted to request my private key, on the grounds that he wanted to send tokens and other reasons that were difficult to explain, finally I broke all the rottenness. If we are not careful, then that will happen.

Education on scam issues is always important especially to members who are new to the world of cryptocurrencies. There are a lot of scam projects online, scamming people all in the name of bitcoin. The best security is always yourself, you need to follow safety guidelines so you don't fall victim.

Yes there is many scammers in telegram one of those is the one who make the bots on telegram. There is no sure earnings on that because even me I earned on that bot but I can't cash it out.

This ain't new.  Just stay away from any money transaction online ,especially when you don't know the person,be it girl or boy.

Right now many scammer trying to steal our coin and token. They are using many ways, from sending phising link on our email and malware on our telegram. Better never download anything in our telegram

Oh my god, this scam is like 1000 years old, they've existed in both FB and twitter for ages, now they just switched to Telegram and crypto
How actually brain-damaged should one be to fall for it? no offends, but believing in online  stranger girls hooking you up for your coins is very pathetic
just sayin', if you let them fool you - you had that coming one way or another :D

haha I often meet people who are disguised themselves as sexy women and it is fake because there are many photos on Google. Be careful also scammers can also disguise as admin exchange telegram with the same name and they will trap you

As you mentioned i also suffer this same type of problem
recently i want to convert my btc to inr i used normally LOCAL Bitcoin to convert my btc
i was searching the buyer in that i got one telegram user it shows to different user in the same name it thought it could be the same person
i used to start chatting with him and he also agreed with my deal he told me send the btc to the address which is given by him
one thing i was made mistake i totaly belived him i send the coin to him directly after he recivening the coin he blocked me
so the users who are using local bitcoin dont send coin directly trade with security and follow the instruction which is given by the local bitcoin authority
this is the scammer telegram id @NAVEENGOWDANV1 dont trade with him

Oh, that is why there are few guys who keep on messaging me in my telegram and ask if I want to grow my bitcoin. After replying how? They said i have to deposit some btc and it automatically doubled. It is absolutely a scam that is why i just ignored their messages.

Recently, another way of scamming people on telegram is through the creation of telegram group chats where the developers/admins ask users to send BTC, ETH or any valuable coins to a specific wallet and receive a times two of the amount sent. How can this be possible yet people send them and get scammed because their own team members in disguise will lure people by posting pictures which shows that they have received the double payment after sending their tokens. Be cautious and never become a victim of such fraud.

Thanks for this wonderful information it will help especially the new ones to prevent from being scammed. I also want to share that there is also some which they claim to be a Chinese people and their strategy is they will give you some bitcoin in exchange of helping them to withdraw their bitcoin on a certain scam site, beware and watch out for it.

You have got to be really dumb to fall for that. Moreover, it is a common type of scam, kind of like e-whoring but the only difference is that here the girl is shown to be ultra rich, unlike the typical method.
Rule 1: There are no poor girls on the internet.
Rule 2: Never go first/ pay a stranger for an online service when you aren't sure of its delivery.

That's a common method of scamming, recently my friend encountered a scam which we would never think about. He believed there will be official admin support for Binance on telegram. He searched and found it, and asked help on the process involved in verifying the account. He tried and in between some issues happened, and my friend reported to the same person carrying the Binance logo that it isn't getting verified. Slowly asked let me check with the email ID and further he started saying we need to pay around $60, now we understood and left the conversation.. Later got the msg when can I expect the transfer. So, we need to be very careful in this.

To be honest, there are so many scammers in terms of cryptocurrency. They're using the ignorance of other people and take advantage to scam money. That is actually unethical but we can't avoid since it was digital and we cant do anything about it but to accept. We just need to be more active and more careful in every transaction that we make.

Telegram is full of scammers and spammers ,there are some that will contact you directly and asking you if you have any coins or tokens you want to sell or buy ,I don't bother to listen ,I reply them with available exchanges ,don't fall for there tricks

Thanks for sharing the scammers issue, a lot of lazy and naive people will be able to stay safe if they read the medium blog.

thats not scamming anymore but that is blackmailing   . this case is now popular due to the technology today where people use social media and posting anything they can  . this can be a warning to other users .


in the case of telegram , i dont see scammers in it but i do see alot of spammers . they send links and polute every channel that im on . but  its easy to tell if the user you are talking with is a scammer because they will ask for a cash  .

Telegram is most sensitively attracted platform for a newbie who is new to crypto most of the investors fall into the telegram scams

This has been on for a long time and there are many of them in almost all crypto telegram group chats and all they want is just to rip you of your money. There are some that offers help to assist you or offer an help you to a bonus to you. Today I experienced one of them messaging me to help me win a lottery , he said I should deposit 70$ to participate in the lottery and he will make we win while we share the profit. I reported him as scam . Let’s all be careful and not be greedy .

I don't get it why people still fall for telegram scammers. The point when everyone should notice a scammer is when the scammer asks for details you should give him (send coins etc.) or do something for him. Easy rule: don't send anything to anyone especialls if you were PMed first.

On photos can be determine the real she or is taken from the Internet. So hardly anyone to buy into this Scam. But it's still good that you warned us.

You don't know why people fall victims for telegram scammers and scammers in general? ''Greediness" is the answer. Due to the outstanding greediness of people, they go ahead to believe that if you send 1ETH, you'll recieve 10ETH. How can 1ETH generate 10ETH, yet people believe this. Let's cut the greediness and be very cautious of these scammers. They are real!

Thank you for the warning buddy. This is a great help indeed. Even we people we all know and aware about scammers it is still a good thing to make warning like this sometimes to recall to keep safe all the time most especially here in the crypto currency community.

I have been through these stuff and I think I am getting pro at identifying these scammers/scams  ;D I wouldn't lie but I encountered a scammer yesterday.
His scheme was quite unique though. He told me that he is the admin of some crypto roulette and he said that he can make me the winner of a jackpot on his site.
All I need to do is deposit somewhere around 0.03 BTC to 0.05 BTC and then he will make me the winner of jackpot which will earn me 0.5 BTC
I got to know that he is trying to scam me by the way he was texting. ;D

Why are you cheated?

Ignorance: Ignorance is ignorance, simplicity. Don't treat ignorance as simplicity. Society is all-inclusive. There are truth, goodness and beauty, and there are fake and ugly. If we are true, good and beautiful to the false and ugly, it is ignorance.

Laziness: Why is it related to laziness? The cheaters are very diligent. In order to deal with the target group, they have done enough homework, done enough market research, and calculated the scale benefit. Almost all fraudulent networks have relevant reminders, as long as you search a little, you should understand. All laws and regulations are available on the Internet. Everyone does not consciously reserve some. What is not laziness?

Desire: Few people get free lunches. Your luck may not be so good. Their desires should be satisfied by their own diligence and hard work, rather than by speculation and ingenuity.

Greed: You can't eat a fat man in one bite. Greed, voice, thoughts and delusions are too much.

How to Prevent

1. Look at the above carefully and learn to draw inferences from one another. There are endless tricksters, and our own IQ should be actively recharged.

2. Don't panic, consult your family, classmates and teachers. Several people must have a much bigger vision than one.

3. Food needs to be eaten one mouthful at a time. Knowledge and skills need to be accumulated for a long time before they can be realized as a price. As students, they should devote more energy to their studies. Suddenly successful and wealthy, only in fairy tales. Guangliang said: Fairy tales are deceptive!

4. If something goes wrong, there will be demons. If it happens, then the crocodile rule, if necessary, is better than losing one leg.

hemm indeed must be careful of digital currency business, I hope you have to examine in detail in order to get the right information so you can trust. to avoid fraud I hope you trust BITCOIN we know bitcoin is the core of all altcoins.

Just FYI you're promoting a scam in your signature. Bizzillion(s) a HYIP, which is a nice word for "scam." You will lose money if you invest in this. If you don't, just know whatever profits you made are at a loss to somebody else who _did_ get scammed.

LoL this method is so so old and yet people fall prey to it , even I had been contacted by a I'd having a picture of a really hot girl but that day I wasn't in such a good mood so I didn't pay attention and I was like so what ,like what should I do if your name's l**a and I heard no reply just hope that wasn't a real profile xD

This type of scam could be use to scam those who love women in real life and on the internet. The scam is not expensive at all to my own view, just too childish. I will never fall for this sort of scam because I have seen that which was bigger than this and never fall for them. Never be greedy my fellow comrade, only greedy fellow will fall for this scam.

It's not that hard to edit the replied images with photoshop, I found this pre-planned with all homework patiently done.
People should ignore such unknown Telegram users and not send their assets to an unknown Telegram member. Be Careful!
