[albon]

What happened:: This scammer is spreading phishing links related to the Notcoin project, where he shared a fake Telegram bot to force members to join his Telegram bot and claim a giveaway of $NOT tokens. He also shared a fake phishing website impersonating the official Notcoin domain, as well as the Nibiru Chain project.

Additional Notes: Each member should not connect their wallet except on official websites and with official bots only. It is clear that Telegram scammers are trying to deceive users who are searching for free tokens on the forum, so please be cautious. I have reported the member's posts to the mods.

We all know well than to click on random links. I know so many people want to cash out and make a lot of money so they don't care which link they click on as long as it has the giveaway tags to it. And this is how they fall for various scams and hacks.

Aside this user, there has been others who share these types of link that at some point I was being to think that it was a bot or something operating these accounts. If I see something similar being share on the forum, I'll just drop it here.

The good thing is that the culprit in question has been banned.

I am an active tapper on these tapping mining, and there are so many of them now, I will not be surprised if scammers take this as an opportunity to scam gullible newbies,

Code:

Telegram has been the hub of scammers; they know their way around here. So, if you're an active user of Telegram, you better check every invitation you receive, check reviews, or ignore them until you're sure they're safe.

Scammers know that you must link your Telegram account to wallets before you can receive your rewards, and they are exploiting this to hack your Telegram and drain your wallet.

The accounts currently participating in airdrops, bounties, and giveaways are mostly Newbies. Due to their lack of experience and impatience, they may participate in many of these free opportunities within a short period without doing proper research, making them easy targets for phishing links. With the increasing popularity of Telegram mini-games and their promises of free rewards and TGE, scammers will undoubtedly intensify their efforts to deceive beginners. Therefore, our positive role is to expose these scammers and report their activities and schemes to hinder their progress.

The good thing is that the culprit in question has been banned.

I'm glad to hear that. Thank you all for your contributions. I think I can lock the topic now, as the scammer has been punished, and his posts have been deleted. However, I will still file a report to the registrar to take down the domains as well.
