Anything and everything on Telegram.

Thats correct for almost crypto holder have telegram and after the twitter scam which happen last year if I could remember correctly the latest crypto scam of this days are carried out through telegram and I will advice all crypto holder not to save the wallet inform on phone or join a telegram group which seems suspicious.

I often find cases like in number 3, I don't know why there are so many messages about this on my email, I know they tried hacking with phishing. They act like exchange sites or wallets, and their mode asks for certain verification so that your account isn't blocked by them, and you are directed at their site which is very similar to the original exchange site. I don't know how they knows email of bitcoin users?

Can be because of two reasons, the most common one is that you registered in a lot of sites with your mail and they sold your address in a list along with a bunch of other address probably so you get added to the list. Selling information is very profitable online, it's the information age at the end.

Have to be really careful with first which links you click and second what you download.

3) Anybody calls you and says they are from your exchange and request for access/password,just hangup the call !

Only fools will do it. I'm not sure the scammer will succeed this way.
but to watch out for this might happen. you should check every information that comes in so that it is not fooled by fraud.

This is a very basic way to scam someone but I feel the community is wise to know not to answer such calls. There’s a new blackmail scam happening where they shoot of mass mails by saying they have caught you enjoying watching adult entertainment, and in other they say they’ll do negative seo on your website. In both cases they’ll send you an address where you need to deposit bitcoins, but never deposit any coins on those address as it’s false they won’t do anything.
