Getting Weird Messages on Telegram? Read This

[Hazink]

I got this message from one of these scammers before, and immediately I replied to the hi they sent they were raining my DM with information concerning how my trading life has been, and I just have to ignore it because I'm not expecting a message about such thing from anyone that I know, and I just suspect it will be from those scammers.

As long as it DMs you, with a complete full name and no bio or everything on TG, it’s 100% bot or prolly just want to take advantage you. Big fish dont dms, if they dm you in crypto means they want something from you. Scammers are everywhere in crypto, and these aren’t the only script they use but the tip is, if they want something or offer a negotiation, it’s 100% scam. Don’t fall for these kind of scammer strategies, if you are a newbie expect that experienced people will not spend time to you.

I have also received similar pms recently and always block them directly without discussing too much. But I was wondering how they got my telegram account as I don't use it too much, just to follow updates in few channels. And even if they got my username from any source, how they came to know I am into cryptocurrencies. Not that the telegram account I am using is not the one associated with my forum profile username.

After reading this topic, I concluded that I am not the only one and that probably many forum users are targeted by those scammers. And yes the pattern of pms is almost the same so I guess it's a bot, not a human.

Out of every scam attack, telegram is the most popular. I don't receives DM from them because i don't join public groups except channels or private chats with any forum user, but if i see one, i will know. They use the same approach, most of them are not brilliant in a way i won't notice, moreover i don't welcome unsolicited DMs, what relationship do i have with a stranger, that he needs to offer me investment plan to invest in, the whole plot is boldy understood before the conversation goes further.

Fact is the easiest way to avoid hacks and scams is to know how these scammers work plus don't be greedy and don't trust people blindly.

The fact is that you cannot actually know how scammers actually operate because they are one of the smartest people, you will see them always updating their ways or method of approach which makes it very difficult for you to actually know their next moves and as such you can only just try avoid them and has you have rightly said it is always just the greedy one that’s fall victim most to them are easily looking for ways to actually get rich quick.

This is social engineering, being cautious online and avoiding anything that's too good to be true is something that will help one avoid becoming a victim. Scammers will always be innovative but these set of Scammers work through manipulation and as long as you don't trust them, it will be surprising to see you do their bidding. Trusting makes humans probe to manipulation and thus is why social engineering is currently the mostly dangerous scam. They come as one offering help and one eay way to gain full trust and get anything they request for is being a customer support and the victim thinking they are one will easily do their bidding and this is why I advise everyone to avoid public reporting of issues especially regarding finance and in any social media platforms that will cost you to get unnecessary DM's from scammers.

Have you been receiving such messages? Then block them directly instead of wasting time with them. I am sharing this because I received a couple of messages recently. So I think Telegram scammers are popping up again to make us fools. Though everyone would be aware of these scamming methods, it's just to remind you once again.

Just weird and hilarious. It’s the boldness of these scammers that never cease to amaze me. Well to save yourself such troubles in the future, there is settings in telegram in which you can prevent people who don’t have your number or not in your contact from sending you these types of messages and even adding you to a group. Be safe out there folks.

Their message patterns are the same. They will ask for some details, and then they will offer something greedy. In the meantime scammers will try to motivate you either to invest or may ask for tradings, etc. Somehow they will scam or hack your funds. So better block them directly when receiving such messages from an unknown account.

True admins, community moderators don't PM any user in the community first. Only scammers, impersonators of admins/ moderators will send PMs first to community members.

One more red flag is, their messages in PMs usually quickly turn to welcome, hi, to something related to money, wallet's private key/ mnemonic seed, links to websites (phishing sites) and other things that potentially costs you loss of your account and money.
