Beware of fake Telegram groups

[jahepahit]

Scammers have now gone advance and using all means to perpetrate their actions. A few days ago I saw myself in some fake groups of real crypto projects while they are claiming to do giveaway for partnership reasons, Christmas seasons and so on. One thing that made me aware was that report spam was placed on the group which was unusual immediately I opened it and went to check for their original groups and it was different. I saw many giving testimonies of having received the claimed giveaway offers which I am sure it's a game from their co-scammers. An innocent individual might fall for it. Please let's beware and take cautions, report any fake group that you find yourself in as spam.

I'm sure many are already aware of this trick because it's been around since years back now, I even got black Friday deals on Twitter , telegram and my email address, this won't ever stop unless crypto stop working, the only way to stop all this nonsense on telegram is to adjust your settings, stop receiving messages from strangers and also change the privacy settings so that unknown groups won't be able to add you

I had a problem with a project and I drop the complain in the projects telegram group and after few seconds I got response from different people and the admins too, after few minutes a fake admin PM me and ask for my address to forward to the team, apologizing for a probably error in the system, this is a scammer at work, a complain that's already been solved? Newbies need to be extremely careful with telegram and PMs

It's the place of most scammers, they can change their usernames easily and groups could be composed of paid telegram members or a service that puts fake members into that group. Don't be fooled by those scammers and do your part of being vigilant not being greedy if there are giveaways or airdrops that have been said. It's an inappropriate reason that you are interested of that, you need to be aware and DYOR, check the official pages, websites and everything for that certain group or project you research.

That's why you should never use telegram when dealing with unknown person, groups, or even that too good to be true giveaways, or any giveaways in fact. There's just so much scammers there that it fails to comparison with Discord. I just hope that more projects use Discord though because it's easier to cooperate their and distinguish between scammers.

Hell yeah, but those damn scammers were adding me to the various scams group too. I have been deleting so many scam groups from my telegram.
Those scammers were inviting all of the members from the various ico telegram groups. You should always be careful with any telegram group these days. The scammers are going so crazy right now.

I've tired of blocking these spammers and scammers in the telegram group that I've joined few years ago. Most of them really pretend to be a trusted project managers or whatsoever lies they're telling to us. Gladly I was able to silent them up on my mobile phone, and only prioritize those trusted notifications from specific group.
I'm fortunate to hear from you my friend, this advice is helpful to many of us here; hoping that this will serve as a warning to every individuals.

I really like that feature from telegram, that is "report spam" which is always placed on top once you are added to a group by someone else; hence once you see yourself in a group you didn't joined yourself that feature will be displayed and once you see that, it is a spam telegram group.
Also, what these scammers are doing is to, create a clone group, then use a slightly different usernames of the admins, then they add members from the original group to their own group while also adding things which will make it look like you are in that original group. Of course, any sort of testimonies or good talks in that scam group are from their members, therefore once you find yourself in a new group with that "report spam" on top, don't bother going further just report spam and exit from the group. Nowadays, we need to adhere to all forms of security measures in order to be safe, because the more crypto becomes highly valuable the more scammers advance in order to scam people.

Not only Telegram groups there are so many fake "Crypto-give-away" bots as well. It says it will give you a daily bonus but once the withdrawal threshold is reached, that will not be credited to your account. Most of their payment channels show fake transactions to attract investors. If you deposit there, you won't find anyone to get any technical support from there side.

Just make sure you won't sign up for anything leaving a trail of your e-mail and passwords.
I mean, they could try different types of combinations by providing that as a clue.

Next, don't give up anything that is important to you.
Phone number, or any details especially your private address.
By doing all of that, they can't do anything against you.

I am careful when checking telegram groups given by the projects and bounties I join. Sometimes in the chat room, you will see some invitation to other groups and sometimes you are tempted to click on them and be able to join, because you trust Telegram has superb security and you trust that you account would not get hacked or anything. But these chat groups will only last for a few months. I simply join and see what conversation they have. The moment they got what they wanted, go or bust. Then the activity lessens and then it will be a dead group.

now telegram is indeed one of the ways for scammers to carry out their actions,
of course this must be resolved immediately, but it is very difficult to do because the telegram can only block if the channel has the most bad votes,
all we have to do is be careful and don't believe it easily.

[ethereumhunter]

I believe that many telegram groups are ready to scam you, especially if you are not careful to join. Instead, to search for the right telegram groups, you can get invited to join in one or more groups, and they will tell you that they are pro traders. If people give a review of one group, but if we can not find the other review from the others, we need to be careful, and maybe we can stay away from them. We don't have to listen to them if we don't believe it.

[jademaxxiss012]

There are too many even other telegram groups had been purposely created for the sole purpose in which to scam other user that who will join the channel. There are too many of it actually that I was joining and others are inviting you without even asking for permission and you will only going to be surprise by it when you access your telegram that you had been invited. Anyway, you can leave and report the group as spam.

[MUG1WARA]

This is not a new incident but scammers have always done this way, so that it is not easy for you to be invited to a telegram group so do the settings in the telegram menu and change the "group invite settings"

...Please let's beware and take cautions, report any fake group that you find yourself in as spam.

The upcoming holidays will bring a lot of different scams to the cryptocurrency market, which will be associated with free giveaways. But scammers will promote their giveaways not only through telegram groups, but also through all available social networks, as well as our forum. Therefore, you need to be careful not only on the eve of the holiday, but also every day.

Thanks for the heads-up, yes there are a lot of fake telegram groups out there, scammy ones and out to dupe a lot of crypto investors specially noobs. I myself was a member of this supposedly groups, but I know what I'm getting into so I don't fall for this scheme. I just want to be a member and exposed their scams here in the community. Specially this coming holidays, for sure they are going to multiple and increased their attacks, so just be careful.

The scammers were spamming bunch of scam groups and then they will be inviting to the users from the another legit group to the all of their spam groups to make it crowded.
I have experienced that i have been getting joined in more than 35 spam groups at once and the scammers were leaving it when it became dead groups.
The telegram was being flooded with scam project.

There are lot of scammers out there looking for people who will fall into their trap, I remember when my mentor will tell me specifically then to always check the site that I am browsing and if is not locked I should back off the site especially the exchange site because my account can be hacked into.

keep in check and always be careful like that. because sometimes we who are in a hurry don't pay attention to what can actually lead us into his trap. swindlers are always there to stab us. so better do it slowly with what we can, never do anything in a hurry.
