I am just curious about his. How the hell they do it? I am sure when you are up to knowing about cryptos then you are not one of those guys that wont use your brain. Just by pasting the private keys you are already careful. To the extent that you will be giving money to another person, I am sure you will be doubting it first before making the payment. Every movement when there is money involved, I always double check I dont know about the others.

Never ever send any ETH/BTC to a wallet given to you within telegram or elsewhere by people pretending to be support/admin!
Simple reminders that newbies should always remember, those who are pretending to help are mostly taking advantage so better to be well aware before sending any coins to anybody, learn to read and do some research before entrusting your money to anyone, it's a simple logic to investigate before doing any actions, better to be safe than sorry after, scammers are everywhere so better to prepare yourself and learn to know them before becoming a victim.

Doubts would really be there but if you are really completely dont have any knowledge on how things do work then most likely you will end up on getting scammed which even just using your common sense you will able to avoid such thing.I dont know why still people do fall into this traps specially on the thing mentioned on OP that telegram admin channel fake admins do ask eth/btc which you can simply point out which is the original and a fake one.

I completely agree with you, because all the information provided needs to be checked. We live in a world where scammers very often use trusting people.

Why they are victimized? because of their greed on making money and they are rushing up things already without thinking on their actions been made.They are on a hurry and which do result on being careless that results into mistakes.Always buy tokens into their designated website and no other place instead of that and neglect people who do message you specially into payment matters.

Am already aware of scammers and also thank you for remaining and guiding me. We should always think twice and many times before taking a decision to trust, so that we can avoid by getting trapped into scam and loose our money. Never ever share your account details which is the first step in scamming
To be scammed also feels like your loosing money, and who would want to feel it. I must say that everyone is scared of being scammed that is why everyone is trying their best to pay attention and to stay alert to avoid scamming, and to never let it happen. But ofcourse sometimes even if you try hard not to get scammed, their are still people who will do it.

Thank you for reminding us. As of to day scammer are every where they are always around and waiting for the proper timing to bait anyone that has no idea about them. Many scammer now are sending they ETH and BTC address to anyone and offer they services and support to you and they pretentious that they are one of the admin. And again beware to the scammer. Yes scammers are every where so please becarefull. As of today, i was asked to send etherium to buy token which i know the token ico has reached hardcap. So if i dont aware to check whether the ico finish or not then i will get scam.

Scamming begins when there is someone and something to be scammed. Always be on your guard and never ever disclose to and share with anyone or anything any information which can be misused to your financial disadvantage.
Scammers are simply waiting for that one opportunity to strike, that one weak point when they know they have you on a leash. Some are known to painstakingly build rapport over a long stretch of time while they carefully plot the most devious and effective approach to scam you. The aim is to play the dominant role in any discussion or negotiation. If they have the upper hand, they expect you to follow their commands like a leashed dog. Send me the coins now... Give me your recovery phrase now...
Being firm and guarded is a good anti-scam trait. Firmly refuse to be pressured to do anything if you know it will jeopardize your coins. Never be afraid to say no. Scammers often use pressure to deprive their victims of any chance to think about what's happening or what they are doing or even seek a second opinion.
Learn to detect or identify bluffs. It is a scammer's tool. Hurry, give me that private key so I can help you recover your coins before your wallet self-destructs... Now that might be an extreme example but it nevertheless works in a few situations. Believe it or not, there are people who fall for that kind of nonsense.
When you are asked to do something, pause. The best way to identify a threat is to transpose or put yourself on the other person's shoes and ask yourself why he needs that information. One of the best ways to achieve this is to be inquisitive during any trade or transaction. If I were in his shoes, what would I do with this blockchain wallet's mobile pairing key? Why does he want my email address? Why is this message from escrow grammatically wrong? Why is he rushing me to do this? These are just some examples of questions you might face during a trade.
Another way to thwart scammers is to ask for a second opinion. Don't be afraid to open a thread and ask. The worst case scenario is getting scathing or rude comments but that is infinitely way more tolerable than losing your money or coins. Scammers love Skype and email or other chat platforms because they want privacy. A private and enclosed space where they can rape you financially, away from the eyes of anyone who might forewarn you.
Common sense. When you see it labeled private key, you know it's something meant for private use. You don't share private things with strangers, do you?
Be safe, guys.
