Common Telegram scam till date

That is also my problem, a person can add me on a telegram group  even i did  not ask for it, every hour  i joined a new telegram group, all i do is delete every telegram that i joined in.

You can also report this group first before blocking them, some members are adding you to these channels they made it their business to add members without permission, I think we need to create a thread about telegram channels that's doing this to increase memberships, this is unethical and groups that do that are potential scammers.

For me I hate when suddenly I get added to a group without my knowledge for a scam ICO or IEO. The others that I have encountered are the one with fake GIVEAWAYS. Most of them have a great transcript created by multiple bots and when you try to ask them questions your comments will get deleted automatically.

Beware of GIVEAWAY scam!! they are everywhere.

If that's your problem then you should change the settings about who can add you on telegram group without your consent. I have been added on telegram groups without knowing until I found out. Until now no one able to add me on telegram groups but DMs still going on for quite some time.

Great list of scam bots on telegram, Telegram is just a social media platform that crypto community used in order to share information about projects, etc. Meaning anyone could create some fake projects in the platform or just make a similar community to legitimate projects.  So for a lot of scammers mostly go here in the Telegram platform because it's easy to scam some newbies that don't have the knowledge or just getting started in cryptocurrency.

I think it's just better to play safe as always in the platform just do not give such information that scammer could use to still your funds etc. It's true that legitimate project use telegram but still unless the community doesn't recommend by the owner or something don't fall for it. Scammers are always finding a new method to scam your funds in the telegram.

Most of the telegram channels with that kind of opening message, it's better to avoid them and never waste time checking them.

As long as someone has your telegram account/username, they will add you as they wish so if you suspect someone is doing that to you. Block them.

I think most of the time suspicious names are most likely to be a scam, and mostly some accounts in the platform that dm you or offering something is a scam.

Most of the people right now are going to find a way to help with their problem to get want to earn and this is the use of the communication tool telegram. Many people are asking about different groups like :

Where is the best platform to make an investment?
What is the market price of the bitcoin good to make an entry point?
Someone help me to earn bitcoin
I want to earn bitcoin

Those are the common questions of the newbie on the telegram group I always read, of course, there are a lot of people makes a direct personal message to them and pretend that they are helping also if you are trying to contact the admin of the pages some of them telling you to need to register here and makes an investment. It's better to learn from your self and gather the information that could help you to earn not being dependent on others.

We all know that there are. a lot of people the telegram because they don't have any friends understood the related questions on their investment or in cryptocurrency so this is the thing they usually visit just to ask questions but still this is the platform which is having a lot of scammers with their projects because they know there are a lot of newbies right there.

This is not true. You can also restrict people who can add you up to groups on Telegram; I'll try and write out the process: "settings>privacy and security>groups>'who can add me to groups' (you select as you desire, best to choose contacts only)>there is also an option there to add exceptions, that's you can include contacts you do not/want to add you notwithstanding"

Thanks for this information because right now I'm having struggle with the number of groups invited me on their projects and I want to remove all those because it's too much annoying for me.

Right now the report is nothing and if you are trying to block those channels you can still make a trouble because after a few days there are another groups invited you and it's too much hassle to block them its better to go the same thing according to the quoted above.

If you go in the bounties section in altcoin, you will find many spreadsheets which contains telegrams ID of the thousands of bounty hunter. Those scammer can easily get all the relevant telegram IDs and then add those in their own group or they can even message them individually and see if anyone can fall into their trap.

The scammer action starts with collecting telegrams ID data from spreadsheet and it would be sad if the manager didn't hide the email so you would get lots of fraudulent messages on behalf of a big exchange project. Avoid any messages from strangers and the project team never calls you first.

The use of telegram is actually similar to other social media. They are probably to be used as a scam. As you said, I have found some types of scams from telegram as I ever see.
Here are the most scammers impersonate th other people and ensure like th others. Moroever f it is scammer, we will be more seriou than holding it.

• Telegram exchange support
• Daily Investors and advisers
• Telegram Bot
• Trading Signals
• Escrow scam
• Api scam

That is why personally we must check and recheck the types of scammers. if it is a personal account impersonating as admin, it is better to check their username of telegram. Commonly, they have made little bit changes in order to deceive the victims. Additionally, please remember that commonly admin will never PM you first in order to help you from solving any cases. The official admin will accept and process the Pm that is entered to them. It is different from the scammers whether they will always send PM first and ending to deposit in a certain specific wallet.

What to do next if you see these scams in person? Report them to telegram of course so those accounts will be taken down or tagged as scams.

Question is is this comon story on telegram bots or i just did not know how to act on telegram or maybe did not have enough of luck?

Yes it is. There are plenty of scam bots that are too good to be true rewards. I forgot their names but when I tried to play free bots before now some bots have a tagged SCAM on their profile. That indicates that the bot were proven to scam dozens of user.

My advise is find a better investment method and dont rely on cloud mining style on telegram. I never heard such legit one there so far as in 0%.

Instead of wasting time why not learn online how to do staking, trading and other means of earning that is fair and square. Not big but at least its real.

right decision ,reporting first is the best way to prevent these scammer because at least with so much report their accounts will be banned though it is so easy to create too many account in telegram because there are members  have been in group that when they don't like the management of groups?they will bug the whole chat room with hundreds or maybe thousand of accounts that even Blocking from the admin cannot carry the pressure.
