Telegrams, it doesn't hurt, who is guilty of people who use telegrams to cheat.
Try to imagine if you use the name of the telegram 5 to 10 telegram with a different name, to manipulate others, and people begin to lose. If this happens to you, what do you do. Annoyed Suicide because your money is gone. Or is there something else that you can contemplate he has deceived me by telegram.
That's most telegrams misused by irresponsible people.

Because it is the most used platform. They know there are a lot of groups out there which are not in private so they can just come barging in and find their victims. Being anonymous is also a part of it. They won't easily know who you are unless you track their IP or they put in all the information like phone numbers or e-mail address.
It is the best place for them unlike discord in which you will need an invitation to enter one group.

The Telegram privacy features is like double-edged sword. It attracts Legit users who wish to maintain their privacy while going on with their business and Scammers who wish not to be traced for their fraudulent acts. One example is that any user can delete their private messages both on the sender & receiver's end. To address all these concerns, Telegram also came up with a new feature. Legit users can now report suspected scammers and Telegram will put a " SCAM" label next to their usernames with a warning if proven guilty. If you wish to report also, just contact telegram support or message @notoscam and provide the necessary evidence. Here's a sample of a tagged scammer on telegram:

Actually it is not the fault of Telegram, majority of people are using it exactly for what it has been developed but you know that bad guys are everywhere and telegram has millions of active users so some of them try to be extra smart and try to scam people. I would just say that do not be greedy and stay watchful and never send your coins to anyone or leak your sensitive data.
Right, but just like any other social media sites we have, Telegram have been exploited as well by the cyber crooks to lure and victimised people specially beginners. It is being used by large groups to create bots and they we have the cyber criminals, give fake promotions and fake give aways. And then impersonations, so as users of Telegram you must be very very careful who you talking to, because you don't know, maybe one day you will fall for their trick. The telegram itself has many uses to a lot of people but yes, with the vast number of users, scammers find it a good playing ground to catch victims of their fraudulent activities. Also, because you can disappear or delete your account anytime, it is easy for them to create accounts without a trace. Those who are new in crypto will find good promotions or giveaways to be attractive, especially some airdrop of new coins. They won't realized it that they are only getting few pennies in exchange of their kyc info (if in case that project is asking for kyc details). It is not worth sending your docs to unknown people in telegram. There are so many instances that these scammers are using this social media channel. If you find one that you are suspicious about, a person or channel, report them via pressing the report button under the info of that channel/user. This will be a small way of helping removing those scammers in telegram. I've done this quite a few times already. Maybe you can opt for others - if that person is trying to scam users ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2Fd6XCn4T%2FScreen-Shot-2020-04-13-at-12-58-47-PM.png&t=665&c=cIgQ-SIQ2ZuKmw) edit : just like what Bttzed03 has shown above

How can you say Telegram is associated with scammers? Is this Telegram's fault? Telegram is working continuously to remove all the scamming from it! Whenever a group or a person receives several reports of scamming, Telegram tags those as a Scam group or Scam person! Telegram is very easy to use, so, the scammer can use it easily and they try to make people fool! The good thing is people are smart enough, they won't fall in some random scam PM or scam airdrop by the group! But we need to keep spreading more awareness about those dishonest fraudsters!

Well its happening not just in telegram but in other social media platforms as well. Scammers are doing their best to take advantage the features of tg to scam other people but it doesnt mean tg is associated with fraudsters they are just using it as their tool.
Thats why for newbies its better to be careful and dont trust easily especially those who offer an easy money or high return.

The ability to create bot and lots of functionality is why telegram is a good tool for scammers, we can't blame telegram for this, people use good tools for bad things, it's not a new thing at all

There are many ways to get scammed on telegram but the fact is you always get messaged first, to avoid this go to user account settings and block all incoming messages, you won't get any messages from strangers unless you text them first

I think there were just so many cryptocurrency users or maybe the cryptocurrency community is just already used to in telegram even big companies are using it that is why a lot of scammers are also in telegram. Also, the creating an account in telegram would not require anything but only a phone number that you could use, you could also make any username you wwanted so it would be a good opportunity for scam projects and scammers.

Simple. It's because there are lots of telegram users who are seeking for easy money. That is why scammers see telegram as an opportunity to run and attract other users for theire giveaways. Personally, I have encountered so much telegram style which is unconsciously scam. - Trading bot
- Crypto trading signal access
- Games with free crypto coins (can't even withdraw)
- Crypto faucets
- Giveaways
And many more. Be careful whom you talk to in telegram also. Most of them are giving some referral links or other url's that might be a phishing link.

1. Telegram is a chat app, and it is said to be an encrypted app. 2. Telegram is not associated with fraudsters, instead fraudster take advantage of the features in telegrram. 3. Most scammers on telegram are in the crypto currency exchange group chats, from there they pick your profile and spam you with fraudulent messages. 4. Telegram already has a feature that stops anyone from adding you to a group, just to protect users. Finally, except for dead telegram groups, Telegram group admins of project will never send you a pm first, and will never ask you to send money. Don't hesitate to block and report anyone that asks you personal details, private phrase, email or money either on telegram or anywhere

Because telegram has so many users, it is so popular in the cryptocurrency market. That is why scammer is taking advantage of telegram to scam investors and participants in this market.

If there are no good moderators, there are a lot of scammers that will join the channel and will try to scam innocent people. There has been a lot of report in the past that some are scammed in telegram but we can't blame the platform for this, its the people that is ignorant should be blame.

To me telegram has two sides, good or bad depending on who uses them. We can't blame or blame telegram for why there are so many scams in their apps

Not a mistake of Telegram man, fraudsters tend to " grow " into any environment that have bigger chance for their scam to succeed. Since Telegram gather the majority of cyrpto groups it's normal to see them there. If crypto groups merge & gow bigger in other apps (WhatsApp, Discord,... whatever) you'll find them there too.

It is just because of dishonest people, do you guys remember Discord it is also a group chat software like telegram and it was widely used before telegram got the major acceptance and everything moved to telegram, one of the main reason for the fall of Discord was also fake accounts, pretenders, scammers, hackers and greedy people that tried to steal others money.

Well, when there are too many bad peoples using telegram, it simply becomes a stigma and other just more cautious. Sure that telegram is just a tool but generalized, stereotyped is just how some people use to cope. I think it's just a matter of life.
