New Telegram Scam!!

[Ulya63]

Yes, it happens and such messages are sent often on ico groups. In theory, the project itself should contact a particular exchange and not the exchange to write it in a telegram as it is not serious. Especially since they write that they are from the new Asian exchanges about which no one has heard. It seems that they just want to cheat and there will be no listing of the token to the exchange.

Right. Currently on the telegram many scam cases. Not only that, they cheated in more ways. So as a Telegram user, be careful and watch out for strangers when they send you private messages.

This is not a new kind of fraud. People have always written and will write stupid messages in telegrams.

They promise gold mountains in ICO projects or other services. Be attentive and always check the official contracts of companies

Correspondence in telegram groups is very dangerous. Sometimes fake bounty managers or admins, you can request personal information from you, people who introduce you may harm. We must pay much attention. We've seen things like this for a long time.

I noticed recently in many telegram groups that there are people posting messages trying to contact admins about listing their token on their exchange. This is a new type of scam that is actually trying to lore newbies who might be desperate and want to have some sh¥tcoin that they are holding to get listed. Once the newbie contacts the poster of the scam exchange message then they will try to get information about their wallet; etc.. People don’t be gullible; if someone is a representative of an exchange they know how to get in contact with the project via email or other methods. They will not go into a public TG room to try to get a listing. That’s just absurd and we should all be careful of such scams.

There will always be different types and level of scam every single time and I believe that as time goes on, there will be more. It is only left for each individual to be smart to never give any of their private information to anyone or any website all in the name of some listing or whatever move the scammers may want to approach with.

By this stage, I believe that most people should be enlightened enough on how to stay secured and connected to the way things should be done in terms of securing their assets rather than getting gullible and falling a victim. It looks though like telegram is the new home for scammers in which they get to target their prey.

Still not as interesting as Nigerian Prince Email.

Scam is growing very fast it is like tumor of the crypto that kills it inside. Telegram is stronger platform so I believe that it will solve this problem faster that other resources.

Thank you for posting it. It's always good to be aware than be victimized although I have always been very careful with my cryptos but still, we can never tell sometimes if we are dealing with someone legit or not. This is indeed a risky business so it always pay to be vigilant all the time.

Be more careful, there are a lot of scammers in telegram that want to get your private key. Also most of them disguised themselves as bounty managers and try to sell tokens to you. Remember that bounty manager never write the first.

This method of fraud is now very often used, alas, a lot of people who do not understand anything in wallets and are ready to provide a private key on demand or make a transfer in the hope of getting tokens. I think that's why the United States banned non-accredited investors from participating in crowdfunding.

This situation with scam is becoming worse and worse every day. Telegram was the last platform that I thought would not be scammed. It's pity to see that.

[Classica35]

This is also one of the orders of the day when it comes to scam in the crypto space. I see this to be predominant in many projects that i am in. Scammers device different means these days.
Some project team or admin that know about it, would just tell them to mail and send their proposal to a particular email. Which is one of the ways to wade them off.

Thanks for sharing this useful information for everyone in this forum who may come across it. Scammers are getting more sophisticated and bringing techniques daily, we must be smart in order not to fall for their shady deals.

[Olatunjex]

The fake trading platform agents are too much in all telegram group these days, contacting group admin for listing this method look stupid to me good exchange can't be going to that extend to list new coins.

[ekateriinae]

I hate this scammer when they contact me in telegram and also my Twitter and Facebook. They offer me something that not make sense at all. Just report this kind of people's and block them. Do not trust unknown person from cryptocurrency. I never trust whoever's that chat me.

[MOProgress]

One of the recent telegram scam I have noticed is the one where people create a group and name it Binance Giveaway or something similar just to scam people. They usually have people who claim to have receive 10X of their money after sending BTC or ETH to a particular address. Please everyone really need to be careful now.

Very strange scam to say at least)) Personally I would never fall into such an absurd deception if even I were seeking to list my shitcoin on some exchange. It's straight clear the admins of exchanges would never contact you first via telegram and ask for some private info or just to send all of your crypto to them))

[bastian466]

It's true what you say, recently there were many new scams on the telegram. Last month, I was cheated and my wallet was hacked. For others, be careful with telegram fraud, enough for me to become a victim.

Try to explain how you can become a victim? from the first time to the end so everyone knows the flow of the incident so that there will be no more victims like you

[dutechman]

Part of what I have also observed as telegram scam, I don't know if I'm right, is that some people or somebody will just create a fake airdrop and invite people to participate by chatting with the BOT. They promise participants huge amount of their fake coins. At the end of a very long wait for the coin to enter your wallet, eventually there won't be anything. I think they are using that telegram groups they're creating with their fraudulent coins for something.

I've noticed some people claiming they are employee in some exchanges and they want to contact the developer to make an offer. I don't know if they are legit and maybe some of them and I'm sure some are impostors.
