yes these types of scams and social engineering attacks are increasing now a days. There is no easy way to stop them for instance on telegram if you block the user they will came up with a different account same goes to twitter and youtube. What is alarming is that on youtube scam giveaways such video are promoted by the scammer using google ads.

I encountered about two just yesterday when I asked a question on Kucoin official telegram group. This was nearly a few minutes after asking that the two of them, who were online at that moment PM me. If not for the fact that i already have the experience about them and on how administrative works are done, i would not have known. The most surprising thing was that, they were so polite in their manner of approach. The next I did was to just block both of them

When there are problems withdrawing in an exchange, I submit my problem in the official telegram group. Some time later there was a telephone entry with the name on behalf of the admin exchange. I ignore, because there is already a warning in the pinned message that the admin will never do the DM first, while this is a direct call, really doubtful. Sure enough, when I checked, it was a fraud account and immediately reported it.
Be careful. Do not carelessly provide important data relating to access to your wallet and make sure that the admin is really an official account.

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

There are so many bad people that still use their knowledge for get profit from poor people who get panic easily. They never know that people really need their help honestly. So, it will be better for us to know about everything by ourself so that we can be safe.

I have experienced a similar incident when I experienced problems with withdrawals at Kucoin, I filed a complaint there and immediately someone claimed that the admin of Kucoin gave me a private message

I don't easily believe and immediately block the person, The point is you have to really do everything from the admin of the Telegram Exchange group and don't want to do or receive messages and personal directions from anyone

To make a trap for fool people only this group are right choice. Even when I asking for some help in kucoin telegram group, I got huge personal message to solve my problem. All person name was almost same name as active admin. Sometimes expert users also make some mistakes.

And for other social media channel like facebook they will tag you with fake giveaways that you win a large amount of btc and give you a phishing link of the exchange you are using.
In telegram they will send you direct message it will easy to notice that they are just impersonating the real admin of the exchange if they are the one who send message first.

I think almost on the famous social media there are scammers who do fake giveaway, like on Twitter or YouTube. If most of the youtube is an account with many well-known subscribers hacked through phishing or download applications that contain viruses. If on Twitter I often see many people creating new accounts and renaming them with famous influencers like CZ or JohnMcAfee.

Anyone trying to contact the support team through social media should understand that the possibility of a scammers trying to impersonate the site representative is high and i encountered this when i contact a support team through telegram as i was not getting a response from them through mail and once i asked about my withdrawal issue i started getting msgs from strangers posing as the site representatives.
Old people might get scammed like that but i could immediately smell what they are up to Tongue

You are 100% right. Just couple of months ago i faced that kinda experience. I tried to withdraw some btc from a average type exchange but somehow i failed to withdraw. Then i ask help in their telegram group. Admin told me to create a ticket from their support center. After sometime someone DM me whom copied real admin's Name (not username because it's not possible) and Logo and told me to send him my account details about that exchange. I did literally everything what he said because i thought that was admin. After that at the end he told me to deposit some btc in specific address which will transfer automatically after my account live again according to his statement. This time i had doubt on that person and try to find his username. And finally i found that both account are same besides their username. So before you send money to anyone think twice. Scammers are everywhere.

Telegram has been said to a hub for scammers and unscrupulous individuals, the truth is that, making payment to get your problem fixed on an exchange doesn't look good to me. I would rather send an email or chat with the representative on their website. There's also a very important caveat to look out for, which is the fact that the Admin doesn't message first. Whenever you receive an unsolicited message from an admin, in most cases its an Impersonator.

It never happened before. In so many telegram groups have already announced that if there was no even a single admin will ask to be paid to help you. The scammers will always use this trick. I have been getting a bunch of PMs said that this scammer can help you to solve your problem.

The truth is that telegram is a harbour for scammers. The activities of scammers are not only limited to cryptocurrency exchange telegram group. Its virtually in every group that deals with something of value. I have this feeling that telegram is a major target for scammers because of the confidentiality which it gives to users.

Many scammers are found in those exchanges telegram groups because that is where they will see a good number of uninformed people they can scam or defraud. Imagine a telegram admin helping you out on an issue or problem and then requests for payment, it sounds off and should ring a bell that something is wrong; nevertheless those who aren't aware of their ways should know that no admin will ask for any payment or deposit to help out on any challenges neither will they PM first no matter what.

If you get a message from them, then immediately tell the Exchange Team whether it is real or scam. Usually every Exchange Telegram Channel never sends the first message to you, They only accept if we send them a message first. So when there incoming a message claiming from an Exchange support team, then that is a scam.

All exchange and crypto project telegram groups do that. They never DM anyone first so we don't need to confirm. All DM are scam.

Also stay away from hyperlink on Telegram and Facebook. Many scammers make dangerous hyperlink with text of breaking news or sexy video or photos or something that you might interested. If you click the hyperlink your account and your computer will be hacked.

Scammers are available everywhere online, most especially in crypto world today, in telegram group once you raised voice about a particular problem you will see many people impersonating team members and asking for fund to get your problems fixed, you'd better wise up

And for other social media channel like facebook they will tag you with fake giveaways that you win a large amount of btc and give you a phishing link of the exchange you are using.

Impersonate. The scammer creates an account similar to the admin and group manager. One important rule that you must understand and that is always the main warning in every telegram group: Admin never PM you first.
Be sure to double-check accounts with official tags.

many cases like this in telegrams they often create accounts that are exactly the same as those of the admin and commit fraud by sending messages on telegram accounts, I also often get messages like that by offering huge profits but I always ignore those messages
