https://t.me/CryptoIndiaUnited is already up & running. But, let's not confuse people by distorting the name. In the title of your post you are calling it
Crypto United India, which is wrong. Lots of scam groups are deceiving people through slightly modified name. Consider updating your title with
Crypto India United. Their website is
https://CryptoIndiaUnited.com, which is inaccessible through certain ISPs in India. Anyone can access it through VPN or Tor though.
This is the group used by most Indian traders for P2P trades in India, especially for CDM offers to mitigate bank-freeze issues. ANd it's been running for more than 3 or 4 years with no issues but when I checked the group to recommend the alternative for Noones then I found that the trade group removed from telegram but there I see a tag like SCAM at the title which means the government agency proposed the telegram to ban them.
The last bold part that you added is absolutely wrong. Governments send take down notice, not a SCAM tag request. Lots of NEET Paper SCAM related groups got totally taken down recently due to Government notification. If it had anything to do with the government, it was not available already. There is no India wide ban on their website either. You can access it with multiple ISPs. In fact, there is no reason for government to go after them as no illegal thing, e.g. F2F Cash deal or SCAM fund Ad are allowed there. Users are supposed to pay tax on their own, which has nothing to do with the group. On the contrary, Telegram SCAM marking is an automated process. When huge number of users report anything as SCAM, they simply mark it so and make it inaccessible. Scammers operating numerous accounts were targeting users of @CryptoIndiaUnited for long. It is pretty obvious that those scammers did a mass report, which resulted in a SCAM tag. Appeal and recovery is a long time consuming process. Hence owners just created a separate group under the same domain. In the mean time, scammers have created multiple groups filled with Bots under similar name, one of which you are promoting in your post title.
And while I was reading the Reddit thread about these matters, most users claimed that the owner of the escrow group started scamming people and banned them when they asked questions that led to this ban.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoIndia/comments/1vrq3rq/crypto_india_telegram_group_banned/ - This is the thread you are talking about. Where does it say that the owner of the escrow group started scamming people? Rather, people are claiming that it is one of the most genuine Escrow group. Authentic group link was also shared by some Redditors in that thread. But, it seems, the current moderators of the sub have removed them, effectively helping the scammers. Some scammers, who were banned by the Telegram group Admins, are claiming that the Admin is egoistic. In an Escrow group, Admins are free to ban anyone who appears to be suspicious. Who is actually answerable for a ban, as long as no money is lost in their Escrow? There is zero evidence provided in the thread or on other threads of r/CryptoIndia that the Telegram group Admins ever scammed anyone. As long as they are not scamming they can do anything to keep their group clean. Scammers barking on Reddit without evidence won't change the reality. The thread, itself, is a testimony for that.
Any idea what really happened?
The original Admin is @TheTigerCub. Many scammers are impersonating him. But the most notorious one is @TheTigerCubs. He is running a SCAM group of same name filled with fake users and adding newbies to that group. Despite multiple request to Telegram by many group members, the scammer account was not taken down. Instead, the real authentic group was banned. When the scammer scams people in that fake group and block them, newbies accuse the real Admins. Guidelines already warns people to change their settings so that no one can add them to random groups. But, people do not bother to follow instructions till they are scammed. People are muted for 24 hours after joining, when they are instructed to read the Guidelines. Guidelines tell them to add real Admins as contact. The group also has their Escrow Addresses listed. Still, some people do not care anything, get scammed and then accuse the real Admins at Reddit. The real problem is the people who do not follow the Guidelines @CryptoIndiaUnited.
