An incident like this was experienced by one of the people around me when he first gambled on sports betting, he kept losing and tried to find a group on Telegram to find a group that shared which club's betting slip had a chance of winning, but when he wanted to join the Telegram channel, he had to be premium user registers some money and after the money is sent he doesn't get anything and the telegram channel is just a lie just to cheat and one of the victims is my own neighbor.
Actually, this kind of problem has been happening for a long time, but for people who are unfamiliar with online gambling, trying to increase their chances of winning at sports betting, they are randomly looking for information related to sports betting on several social media which ends up falling into the scammer's trap.
That was the problem he faced when joining the Telegram group. He must have seen a premium channel in the group and the owner recommended that all members become VIP members to get more betting information. Most groups like that only provide betting information they get from other groups and share it with members in their VIP group by saying this is the result of their very accurate analysis. There are also fraudulent groups that will immediately disappear after getting money from their members and will not return to the group. This has happened a lot and many people have experienced such fraud. But unfortunately, there are still many people who are not aware that it is a hidden scam that they should avoid.
You are right that you have to be very careful when telegram is used, many people use Telegram because it has much more security than the WhatsApp app itself, but as you say, it is the niche for scammers to take some people who are newbies, who are not have experience and let themselves be carried away by misleading advertising, there are many who, knowing all this, fall and continue to fall, when it is not through telgram they fall through twitter, the truth is that I do not understand them, because knowing that this is just the way it is They continue to crowd it, for me it is sad because things are very clear, not accepting private messages Unless they identify themselves and are contacted by mutups, and that they report the telegram gurops that they are a fraud, and obviously these groups will not stay there , but they quickly put together new groups, making things continue to emerge, but you have to hit them hard with the reports , so this is something that everyone should be very clear about, not pay attention to different contacts that tell them what they should do.
Now with the things that are Presented in the whats App , there are many, both business models and games, as well as groups that assure them of winning, and this Ranges from when they are going to pay for a membership until they are scammed with Everything what they have in their tools, no matter how much the groups show up reporting, they will still do it , However , Things are very Different When it comes to doing other things in the groups, because there are many Influencers who are not interested in taking them to the people to groups where they go and get a fraud, because they are very well paid by the scammers who can take them to their Business model Network where they are robbed, so all this is sometimes connected to the things that others want know, they want to hear, and scammers are quite insistent on how to make them fall, it's as if they have a gift for people with a lot of money or with little to fall , that's just that here it's about warning people.
We will never understand what they have done, especially those who have joined groups on Telegram. But they just want to get that betting information so they keep looking for betting groups and even want to join premium groups that require them to pay a subscription fee. They don't need to join the Telegram group, let alone the VIP group, because they can start learning to analyze and immediately place bets. By learning, they can improve their analytical skills, which will be useful for them in the future.
On WhatsApp, it is also the same as Telegram. If we are not careful, we could join the wrong group and have to pay the subscription fee. And even though, in the end, the group was closed by Telegram or WhatsApp, that didn't stop them from creating Telegram or WhatsApp groups because they already knew how to do it. That's what makes fraud like this continue because they can create new groups that are different from the previous group but still use the name of the betting group with VIP services.
