HI @TheUltraElita,
I don't think it's useless at all. Since there is not a simple telegram account behind but a website.
If someone decide to make a google search about this scam will receive an help and avoid to join scam.
If someone want get a scam I know It's pretty impossible to avoid that Sad



It's easy to detect if this kind of distribution is coming from one of the top coins it should be covered by top media and it should be announced by the developer's official social media site, people should not be too greedy to check if it's legit or not, sometimes people wants to be the first one to get in not asking the community first.

These things never end my friend. I appreciate the fact that you are posting about it but this is not really an accusation against someone on the internet because here people use loads of telegram accounts to set up usernames to fool others and scam them. It is not new for seasoned veterns to identify in the blink of an eye that it is a scam and it is also not new for noobs to fall for this scam.

As long as the "I want free money" mindset lives such scams will flourish and being an idiot never improves. Someone will get scammed and the scammer will have their share of money.

What happens afterwards, they create a new account and find out another victim and the cycle continues. The domain name may be useful to track but even then how would the local authorities track and extort the money? Ends up being a waste of time for the person claiming a loss.

Still I appreciate your work but I like to point out the futility of such efforts.
