I'm using Telegram as my first choice chat app, but this is not what this topic is about
I'm am trying to help people to spot a scammer on Telegram groups, especially the newbies entering the crypto world due the bullish trend should be very very very careful
From time to time, I'm using Telegram groups, the official one, to get some support and usually I'm looking for an admin
You cannot expect them to be online 24/7, so there will be a delay getting your answer, but my experience until now is that I'm getting in touch with them in 24h or even less
And this is great, cause time is money, we all know that
Most groups has some "pinned message" on top where you can find who the legit admins are
Do not PM/DM them, start a common in group chat and mention them using the "@" and their username, it's more convenient
At this stage, you can expect to receive a private message from a scammer, presenting himself as a legit admin
I will share now today's experience
You will see how people easy falls into a scam trap:
That's my click-bait:
Those are the official legit admins:
Pay attention on their
@"username"
And here it comes the
scammer:
A minute after
The picture is the same, and he/she is trying to use the same @"username", but in the "Bio" field
It's a most common scam on Telegram
Eyes open and double-check everything
Cheers!
