Yeah it was really helpful though I know some of it already and OP does stated thtle truth of the massive telegram scam activity. This becuase telegran is usually anonymous and can just can use any pseudo names that a user could wanted. It could be edited in just a small period of time.

This is why never trust directly on PM especially when it comes to an unknown user.

There's also a scam I found, in just 4 days, your invested bitcoin will gain 100%. A lot of my fellow countrymen invested on this site, most of them are newbie in crypto, they don't even know how crypto works. They just invested on this HYIP, because of 4Days increase of 100%, they said that in the first 4 days they invested with small amount, the site succeed to give back their 100% profits but they re-invest, after that BOOM.
Please be careful, the site is now offline
Code:
http://bitx.to/

They also use telegram bot(@bitxBot), which the sending of bitcoin and creating your account is done on the telegram.

How many times have I been told that free cheese is only in a mousetrap, but I still managed to get caught on one of these deceptions!!!
Know about the group in the telegram, which offered to send 0.1 bitcoin and get the 10 and thought it was a hoax and did not climb there.
But recently I came across a group of telegrams which by the way was advertised by a very popular channel and they offered deposits for 1-2 days with a profitability of up to 100% due to pampas of certain tokens. Don't know what happened to me at the time was (tired or his head was crazy) but I fell for it without checking more details information. As a result, I transferred them $ 200!!! and as expected remained deceived!!
Friends never give your money to anyone - now there are a lot of scams and everyone is trying to make money for us. I'm telling you this by my own example of how I was shod as a Sucker.
All group telegrams offering the earnings on the PAMP coins for 1-2 days - LIES and DECEIT.
Who came across such machinations put like, ))

I have registered in many of the Bot Telegram On the basis that they are mining.
But when you asked to withdraw the amount,I could not pull them Cry

That is another way to scam people. mining bots always ask to deposit some btc to withdraw your mined Btc. don't send them your btc.

Wow I didn't know about this new trend by scammers on Telegram. Glad I've seen your thread, I'll dig further into the partners' profile the next time I have doubts on their legitimacy.

On the other hand, I don't send ETH to anybody nor download apps I'm 100% sure that are the legit ones, but anyway I think it's a great sample to show to beginners before they fall into any of these traps.

Yes,always check their profile closely. most scammers have no user ID.  and If someone DM you first think why he wants to contact you. if he introduces more attractive/profitable offers don't think twice, bite him.

Also the exist many mining ethereum and bitcoin telegram bots who don't pay and stole your cryptocurrency when you invest in it to make withdrawal from these bots
I saw before a telegram mining bot that is being promoted in social media which is obviously a scam it is another form of hyip investment which a lot of people get victim and today I still see them being promoted in telegram channel and groups.

Because some people are stupid and delusional. Thinking that a messaging client has the power to actually mine bitcoin. It's totally bonkers. Mining through Telegram and through other places besides actually buying your own hardware is a scam. Period.

Somebody told me they have partnered with a KYC company to try and solve this issue.

That will be very useful and it will reduce the activity of this kind of scammers. hope telegram does it in near future.

but that fake app thing was quite interesting, what's the relation with telegram for that?

There is a relation with the telegram. some people introducing/promoting fake apps on telegram groups/telegram channels/ thought personal messages many of them are mining wallets but the final target is to steal private keys form users. I couldn't take screenshots of those apps due to I have reposted many of them and 90% of accounts are deleted now. Cheesy

a good pointer is to assume noone's ever going to give you anything free, no discounts, no trades that you'd profit on and so on, but that fake app thing was quite interesting, what's the relation with telegram for that?

Some one if asking to send some amount and promising to pay in return multiple time of the amount sent definitely a man of wisdom will not accept such fool making offer.
If someone is ready to become fool; then it's his own choice.  Only greedy people will be accepting such offers.

I have repeatedly said this before... Only the greedy ones fall victim of scams..  How on earth will you think you will get x10 of eth you sent?  Common, why not look for a way and work for it?  People are being scammed on daily basis cos they are all insatiable...  Only insatiable beings gets scammed. Lol.

Ive always thought we need a solution to this fake telegram users problem. Telegram needs to start looking into producing Verified emblems next to names for people who have done some basic KYC checks. Kinda like the twitter emblem. Somebody told me they have partnered with a KYC company to try and solve this issue.
