After all, every exchange at least has a complaint ticket that you can use to solve whatever problem you are having, I personally had a few problems in the past on some of the big exchanges, but I never took the problem out of the exchange platform itself, because basically We can still contact support and other services that basically don't let other people know about the problem you are experiencing, just support you complain.
well that is the only way that we as traders can communicate with the website provider of the exchange, but if the exchange has started a scam it will be difficult to contact the developer because they don't care anymore and the developer has taken away the existing money and the exchange is neglected like the BCNEX exchange that is currently making a lot of people lose money.

Scammers are not only in a particular exchange telegram group, they are also in every side and corner of the crypto space. In my own little understanding, i think the first reason why there are  many scammers in the exchange telegram group is because there will always be newbies whom they (scammers) can easily convince and defraud. Also, another reason is that, most people are not contented hence they are greedy; thus when the main admin of the exchange telegram group goes offline, those scammers that are responsible for advertising unreasonable projects will start their scam activities hence looking for new persons to defraud, and they always get those who are greedy.

I very often get private messages on telegram and it is named from a well-known project or exchange, and not only that, sometimes there are also those who invite me to invest with the projects they mention and give me a very tantalizing lure, and I too I rejected it and I didn't even respond to the message / I even reported it to the admin so that the telegram was blocked ...
The best way to deal with it is to report them and don't even open the message from any unknown user or the person that you don't know. Many a times the scammers use the fake female profiles to make the user fall in their trap and then ask them to deposit or whatever they would wish the user to do. I also have recieved a lot of messages from scammers and also been added to other scamming groups by unknown people but once I changed my privacy settings of people adding me to groups to my contact list only from then onwards I wasn't added in any unwanted group.

no wonder if you will get messages from scammers because telegram is indeed a place for scammers to find targets, for that I never trust anyone on telegram
usually the admin of a project on telegram never PMs you first, if you are PM by someone who claims to be the CEO or team of the project,
obviously it's a scam, a good project is not like that mate
Absolutely true I had experienced this so many scammers have used such lame strategy to scam people. They always claimed they are from the project and that's why real team members of the project are indicated they never pm you first and that thing really helps to create awareness.

Private texting then talking a lot about the project, talking about the potential and expecting a reasonable investment from us, this is often a basic scam on telegram groups, especially large and reputable exchange groups, scammers turn themselves into an employee and look for prey there. Although this method is outdated and ineffective, some people still quite naively believe in such messages, I don't understand why they can be deceived in such a simple way, everyone should be equipped with knowledge to protect

These scammers do not only exist in top exchange Telegram groups, all projects doing well have scammers in their groups. Once you ask any question related to deposit/withdrawal/token purchase for instance, they chat you up immediately. They mainly use admin profile picture and name, with similar username since no two usernames can be the same. You don't need to do findings to know if its a scammer or not, a legit admin won't chat you first.

I had a similar experience. I had lost $200 worth of my coins while transacting between a wallet and an exchange. I went through both of the support telegram group and a moderator looking account from the exchange telegram support group contacted me in private message and asked for detailed info. I gave him everything I had and he stayed in contact for two days asking for various info. At last he convinced me to send a fee of $27 on an specific account. I was nearly convinced and sent him the amount but again thought why the exact wallet address. So I sent the screenshot to another moderator and only than realized that it was actually a imposter.

not only in big exchanges even projects that are doing IEO have a lot of scammers and scammers will never be avoided by everyone. make sure we see the real team comes from the team before giving all the data provided, or we can contact the team via a legitimate email
Yes, scammers are always in every place and even ordinary people can turn themselves into cheaters at certain times, because those who want to cheat always see someone's opportunities and omissions in any case.

This is for all newbies and those who don't know, please share among friends

Every single telegram channels or groups of crypto exchanges are tagged by scammers, be extremely careful

The moment you have a problem with an exchange you will instantly get messages from people claiming to be team of the exchange, you can get the following messages

1. How can we help you?
2. What problem are you facing on our exchange?

They will pretend to be the exchange help service and they will ask you to make deposit to get your issue resolved, honestly if you aren't familiar with scammers you can easily fall victim

Group channel of exchanges like binance, kucoin, Okex, huobi are full of scammers waiting for people that needs the team help to resolve an issue, be wise

Scammers are everywhere, this cannot be stressed enough. I have a friend whos been involved in crypto for quite a while and still fell victim to it. She doesnt even remember why she fell for it, she just trusted someone without back checking the account. The guy that messaged her posed as one of the admins taking on the name and profile picture. She didnt notice it was a poser till it was too late.

This is for everyone...
Scammers will find a way just to catch their prey and take advantage of it. Yes, the telegram channel might be a way to make it possible because they can easily copy admin names and use this to fulfill their bad intentions. But if we are aware of this kind of play and knowing the people that we are talking and sending a message in the telegram, it can save us from the possibility of being a compromise in the next days.

additional tips to avoid being a victim of scam, first, be a responsible user, As the owner of your account, you should be the first to protect it. It is a wise decision to determine which information should and should not be provided. Refrain from giving out or sharing the details of your transactions if it is not necessary. second, you should report immediately any suspicious activity, Help the entire community to get rid and mark these opportunistic parasites. next is Do not post any of your transaction details in the Telegram Channel, lastly Always be cautious and vigilant in entertaining messages not only in Telegram but also to other messaging apps. Scammers will try everything to get your trust.

Are there scammers in every cryptocurrency community? Everyone already knows about that, if anyone claims that they don’t know that there are scammers everywhere, then I don’t really know what to say to such person. There are scammers and people should always be careful and not just feel like there are no risks.

I see some newbies who are careless, they just act like they can never lose their money and be trusting anyone or any projects they see, and when they finally get scammed they start complaining. When we, experienced people are intensively spreading awareness against scammers on every corner of this forum then I guess more people will be careful against scammers and their phishing attempts.

Scammers don't have a particular place they operate because it's a game of trial so they are Everywhere looking for who will fall prey. This is just one bad thing about telegram but everyone has to be absolutely careful to avoid failing in a wrong trap and do not think once it's a good and top exchange you can't see them, they are Everywhere and admins hardly send message first which is the best way of knowing scammers.

I often get that, when I ask a question in a group it will be answered by a stranger asking for help. not only a problem in the exchanger, but also the project group or bounty. there must be someone who sends a personal message offering a variety of investments with large and varied profit gains. my advice, do not you respond to it.
It's true I often receive messages with ponzi scheme investment offers and of course it is very dangerous and a trap for those who don't know about it because their daily profit is like 10%. I am very disgusted by scamer like this.

In this kind of industry we cannot really eradicate those who are good in taking advantage to other such as scammers. I think we just need to be more vigilant and more cautious in dealing with such cases like that in order for us to avoid being scammed by scammers and con artists.
