I think i just commented on a similar situation about vindax.

This does. Not apply only to newbies but to every one.
Admins of top exchange group, even Bounty groups do not pm first, if anyone pms you first offering a cheap sale or to help you. Block asap.

Never give out your private key to friends or strangers

I nearly fall for one last time, I lose access to my kucoin account that consists of thousand dollars of Bitcoin mainly for trading and I had to go on KUCOIN telegram channel for help and strange people start texting saying and asking details about some key, I knew it's scam but the issue got resolved later, I just hit the block button lol

[Jannyh]

You are very right,thanks for the sensitization, these scammers would go at any length to reap one of his earnings,newbies really needs to be careful,once you ask if an admin in such exchange telegram group,before you know it, you will have loads of private messages acting like they are the admin. We really need to be careful

Even it's an old way to scam still some people fall for it. But, you can easily determine if the person who contacted you is a scammer or not and for me, it by just looking in their username. It usually happens to me like once I join in telegram group then, later on, I will get a message from an unknown person and it will ask me if I have some background about investment and sometimes he wants me to invest in their website. But, I know it's a scam that's why I avoid seeing some messages that came from an unknown person.

Do not ever fall with this and put on your mind, do not ever talk to someone that you didn't know if ever it asks for investment and he wants you to send some funds, trust me you need to click the report button because its a scam. Kindly, make sure to put a lot of time on doing research so you can't end up dealing with a scammer.

This is for everyone...
Scammers will find a way just to catch their prey and take advantage of it. Yes, the telegram channel might be a way to make it possible because they can easily copy admin names and use this to fulfill their bad intentions. But if we are aware of this kind of play and knowing the people that we are talking and sending a message in the telegram, it can save us from the possibility of being a compromise in the next days.

[ballerin and giroud]

That everyone needs to be attention is when they/someone comes to you and ask about money or deposit eventually you will be scammed. Because if someone behind the team (in this case the exchange team) won't ever ask you money to resolve the problem, they will guide you step by step the problem that you head. And other than that, when you have an account on an exchange you have to be careful when you join the telegram group of the exchange. You have to come to the real website of the exchange itself, and it will be wrong if you have a problem on your exchange and you ask on the random telegram group then you are wrong.

[kaneki007]

I will not care for people who suddenly send messages to my telegram, I usually just ignore it. If I need help I usually go directly to their official website because surely they have customer service. Don't trust someone who suddenly sends a message offering help.

[Mighty_crypt]

When strangers talk to you on telegram you can just hear them out, there is no way scammers won't end up talking about 'deposit coin to an address', they always end up giving you goosebumps lol, let's be careful

[danherbias07]

Yeah, been there.
I hope I still have the print screen of those scammers back then.
It was a problem that I want to resolve with one ICO group.
They knew I have the tokens, a large amount. Suddenly, they come popping up on my telegram. Pm'ed me telling they are part of the group and they could help.
Same goes with one exchange, IIRC it was OKex telegram group. A lot of scammers are just waiting for their opportunity there.
More like thieves actually.

[Teraboy]

This is an old trick that used by scammer. I think the team is also already created awareness of they will never try to ask anyone to send even a little amount for them. Just to make sure never try to deal with anything that forced you to send any amount for him because he is actually a scammer. The team is also never tried to asking the private data like privatekey too.

It's not a new trick and people still fall for it, the moment anyone on telegram text you first something is damn wrong, they text you to make advantage of you, strangers don't just appear in your life without aims

[joshua123]

I think these scammers will always have a way in but of course it will depend on you. Set up your account or setting that not everyone can easily send you message. There is a privacy option where you can do it. Normally these people will message you and try to start a conversation but just click the report as spam and dont ever prolong the discussion. Chances they are not just concern for some query you are asking on a majoe group but have plans on deceiving you.

[VDraci]

Yes it's true, there are ways to block off any incoming messages from anyone unless you message them first, just head to the telegram privacy settings, it's all there, this is the only way to be spam free

[awakpane]

Right. there are indeed many scammers who appear on the telegram channel looking for victims they want to use. it is hard to detect their presence. therefore we need to be careful in responding to it especially with the offer they submit to potential victims who do not make sense.

[Bonwin]

Exchange group admins are meant to respond to complaints in the group and not outside the group, except in cases that are personal.
I for one believe that, even if you have personal issues to resolve, most exchanges have support widgets on their exchange sites, where you can submit all of your details without asking for a fund in return.  Well, that is my belief.
Avoid conversing with, whether admin or no admin in private. Even if you are sure that the person talking with you is an admin, if such asks for money, it is still a scam. The reason being that exchanges usually make their admins to where the tag "admin will never as for fund".

[strunberg]

its not only on exchanges telegram group but they spreaded in any crypto telegram group. they trying to find victim by creating many offer to telegram member .for example in bounty thread, they offer to buy token reward with good price . victim that didnt understand the risk ofcourse will interested this offer. they didnt need to wait long time to exchange their token. it just simple example how scammer will work in telegram group.

[target]

They can be spotted easily though, just when you know they are asking for deposit you will already know the guy on the other end isn't the support you want. These scammers will always think you are a newbie which is why they tend to make you do things only a newbie will fall. 

What you should do is always go to the pinned message in the telegram group and read what he is saying because usually they list the right user to PM.

[jossiel]

Just contact the legit members of the exchange's management.

AFAIK, there will be tags of scams if the telegram account has been reported by various people. This also happens for the coinomi support and any other popular service that's being used by many crypto people.

[Rodeo02]

(.....)

this is a reason why telegram channel is not good for communication since there are many scammers always waiting for another victim that they can fool.
Its always happen not only in exchange support but in other group also even ico or any crowdfunding group.

The better way to contact directly the support in email if you have a problem than using a telgram group for contact.
