You know what's funny? Some fake groups are even larger community than the original that's why some people are gonna be wondering if the fake one is really a fake. They usually used search engine on telegram and of course the one whom visited mostly are the one pop up and usually it's the fake one. This happened when there is a great news on the project or something big happening. So much better if newbie will double or triple check the group they are joining much safer if they go to coinmarketcap or coingecko and click the social from there instead searching.

Scammers in Telegram groups try to impersonate admins, moderators. They set their Bio with the username of real admin or moderator. They hide their username and show you Bio that is faked. They use same avatars of admins or moderators.

Topics above have some steps to pre-block scammers and detect them.

This is very common now on Telegram, especially if you just use the search box of Telegram to find some telegram groups/channels, there are a lot of impostors.
Most of the newbies are the main target here, especially for those who don't really familiar with Telegram. That's why at first, I need to find first the official website or social media handle of particular project, browse and check if it is the real, and then there you can see some of links for their different social media accounts or contact platform, like Telegram/Discord.

Newbies are not expert in catching scams. As a matter of fact, they are usually the ones being preyed on by these scammers. So they will have to develop utmost caution. If they will have to generalize, then they should do it.

It is hard to investigate every single giveaway, investment opportunity, and so on. So for a newbie to avoid becoming a victim while still on the learning process, he/she will have to disregard all kinds of giveaways, investment opportunities, crypto bonuses, free tokens, and so on. And, most of all, they should never ever send any amount of money to anybody.

Let's bring this fake Telegram group down, find the 3 dots on the right side of the Telegram account, and hit the "report" and then "Fake account" and might the staff of Telegram will take in action once they received a few reports.

We should always be vigilant about the airdrop, giveaways, and even the double investment scheme because they were most likely scams in the end.  Think before we act and conduct research is a must before putting your money.  Nowadays, scammers are getting smarter and always looking to take advantage of the greed and naive people to fall into their trap.

I saw someone using Coin.ph wallet and it seems there's my fellow countryman there.

The same with TRX Airdrop group worth $300. The group just copied the official Tron Group. LostRelics too. They copied the whole thing of that group. Good thing Telegram has that "SPAM and LEAVE" notification at these groups so it's a notice that in case we ended up at this group, it's the fake version.

I suggest those Telegram newbies that always set your profile not to be added by anyone to prevent being in a sh*t group.

To do that, just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Groups and Channels > My Contact.

hmph..
You are absolutely right, now many scammers create telegram clones to trick users. I've also been put in a fake group, luckily the scammers aren't really smart or newbie scammer maybe. When I'm has been added by scammer, I know the username, who is the admin and owner of the real group, and the scammer doesn't change anything that makes it similar to the real group and account owner. So that I can immediately leave that fake group.

Then, there are currently a lot of presales without a 3rd party, presale hosts just announce from telegram group. When we buy new tokens on the official group, we also have to be careful. Because, often scammers infiltrate by providing fake address presales. If we are not careful, then we will become victim to this kind of petty crime.
