A new kind of scam in telegram using gambling site

[LogitechMouse]

in Telegram fraud is very common.  It is necessary to block not only individual users, but also certain groups that disseminate bad information, and since these groups are already outdated, the Moderators do not control the information they write there.

I have used telegram already for how many years and I have experienced many fraudsters already there. They are lurking most of the time on the Telegram Channels of different ICO's. If you have a problem, they will just PM you out of nowhere and offering some thing that can help you but in the end they will just get your private keys or sometimes money. They are stupid idiots.

only if there are moderators on that channel but what if they are also the owner  ? they will only allow those accounts to provide links that are suspicous  .

 telegram is getting popular day by the day because of the help of cryptocurrencies so its expected that telegam will also be the popular destination for scammers  .

 those shady groups are i think not outdated but they are actually updated because scammers are always active to hunt for thier prey  .

I think that this has already taken place and the telegram has become a very popular place for fraudsters.  I think that the users themselves should fight this phenomenon and block the scammers and not even start talking to them.  But the owners of the groups that make possible the publication of the attackers are also guilty.

And the best weapon is blocking or reporting as spam right?

For how many times that I was being PMed by random users?automatically they will be listed on my blocking’s and also reporting as a spam,those groups that I was added without my knowledge are automatically reported as well

Sometimes reading their messages will only awaken your greediness so better not to read and just report them right away

Indeed, they are just around and waiting for new victims if you are not sure about someone who's sending you private message never bothered to
reply back and show that you are interested with his message, it's better to ignore than to become a  victim and risk something from you.

A few months ago, the Yobit exchange official telegram group was deleted and the admin account was banned permanently from telegram as far as I know. If someone from a random group sends bulk promotional messages, the system detects it as spam. If the majority of pm receivers report the spam then that account will be deleted.

I didn't know about that so that's what people must do, you should report those telegram groups and if the authority of telegram finds out that scam, they will soon ban it to their system.

At last, there's a way to stop these scammers if they will continue doing things like this. Telegram should do a cleaning on their platform itself and remove these accounts that's priority to scam.

Easy to say but actually hard to be done by Telegram creators itself.Getting rid of these scammers into these platform

would really be like an unending story yet people would just keep on making new accounts for the purpose of scamming not only
to this place but in all messaging mediums.

Yeah that is the best think to do when a random person just sent you a PM and offering for help.

Those newbie investors are the ones who can easily be scammed by these scammers so the best thing to do is to verify if they are really the admins of the ICO you invested. If not then just report and block these stupid scammers.

As long as there will be staffs that will tune in to this single problem that their platform is tackling every single day, the scammers will eventually stop if most of their created accounts will be banned or erased by telegram staff.

Needless to say, for those users of the platform stay vigilant and just like what your parents have been telling you all of the time. Never trust a stranger in that platform.

The job would be more easier if people do report such possible scam attempts because it cant be spotted directly so the help of the community would really badly needed on these kind of situations.

Sensibility on your ownself would be the main thing that would help you out to avoid these things.

Right. Be sensible on whatever decisions you take because once a mistake is committed, it will never be undone. There are a lot of scammers around just waiting for a perfect timing to lure people and put them in his own pocket. But if we learn how to avoid them, then scamming will be slightly reduced.

The guy is so fast to delete our conversation in telegram and block me, I think he's been doing this for a long time and already victimized people.

He will introduce himself as the owner of a gambling site [forgot the name of the gambling site also) he will invite you to invest in his gambling site and make you a winner of their dice game, the catch is you will divide the pot and send him 50% of the winning pot.

Sounds interesting, I asked him that he send me Bitcoin so I can deposit and do what he says, he told me that many people have already scammed him doing that, but when I ask him how old is the site, he told me that the gambling site is old and trusted one urging me to deposit now, but I told him I would fall to this because the site has no traffic when checking on Alexa..

If I made a deposit I'm pretty sure he will block me.

The guy blocked me I wish I  made a screenshot I was waiting for him to prove that the site is legit.

So beware there are so many scammers lurking there and this is one of their methods.

I know what you are talking about Pal(PARE), perhaps this is the site of gambling you are referring with https://bigzluck.com/, I think there are many of them, because they chatted me on my telegram with different account name but same offer, just like what you had stated in the above those person for sure once you've deposit they will block you instantly 100% due to they get what they want, imagine the minimum deposit was 0.5 eth and they will offer you in return for 1000$ every time you win, that's insane!

in Telegram fraud is very common

It's become the order of the day, strange users sending random messages to users, hoping they get to defraud one or two, they usually come in disguise of one discount or the other, I think this sort of scams has become too obvious and only a very few percentage of users can fall for it.

What I do is to simply block users who send me such messages, I do not even try to engage myself in any conversation with them, I immediately report spam and block.

And keep in mind also, any professional platform will never send messages via telegram privately. There are already many scam modes like this, such as in telegram, ICO, IEO or other fundraising groups. Various scammers use admin-like names to cheat.

[Jjewelle29]

You can report that scammer so that he will do it again and others will be a aware also.

That's why OP created this thread to warn other people to fall with this kind of scam trap. I believe too if OP already report that scammer from telegram so his account will be get banned

Its strange that people often hear about scams and yet they fall for the same scam themselves. Everyone knows that fake people can reach out to you in telegram and social media and may try to scam you by various methods. We become greedy and fall in such traps.

Aside from that one should never ever believe on good things that scammer will offer. All good offers are impossible to achieve especially if it offers big percentage of profit. No one has ever done good offer without having to work for it hard. Just always remember that there is no fast and easy money here unless one is a business man to.which money work for him/her and not him/her work for money.

It is always to be always careful all the time than having regret in the near future.

There are really many of them, most of the time you will noticed that in your telegram there is someone will pm you a message and ask you something about until your conversation will goes to gambling site, that's for sure the person you are chatting with are scammers, so every time there is unknown person to your telegram block it at once.

[robelneo]

If you want to keep safe, better ask the guy who messages you to also message you on Bitcointalk do not deal with people who refuse to give his Bitcointalk account and don't believe him when he says that he has no account on Bitcointalk, investors and bounty hunters almost all had an account on Bitcointalk.

In the last few days ago, I get a message in the Telegram from a strange person who offers me a way to earn litecoin by fast. He provides me a website about a double litecoin in just a few hours. Fortunately, I already get a bad experience with that, so I report his account in my telegram, and I hope that he will get a ban and never scam people again. Some people have already sent PM in my WhatsApp too, but I ignore them because I know that the scamming will try many ways to trick people.

[darklus123]

I hope he did. There are a lot of peoplr out there that wants to earn money. These people has the money to invest, but they want to earn money not just for themselves but also for his or her family, they are that closr to desperate and then they heard or read that they can earn good money, obviously, they will invest. Even if you are the most smart person ever, if the timing is right, you can be one of those people that will be scammed.

A scambug will be a scambug what ever the would be. And those reasons that you have stated are still not a valid reason to scam other people. I don't think as well that op reported that person as I think he have lose his interest towards the topic after posting.

That is why everyone should have to be careful dealing with someone on telegram. They should know the account of those people in this forum so you can immediately report them
