almost all projects in crypto use telegrams, even many people sell their tokens via telegrams (through escrow), making people without conscience think that telegrams are very easy to deceive people and earn money easily. telegram is also very easy to make a bot account, that's what makes scammers more and more

Telegram don't know about these scammers, if you are newbie and looking forward to use telegram you should to go settings and deactivate getting messages from everyone, this way strangers won't be able to PM you first unless you message them first
Im also using that feature and we should remember if telegram is just a tool that created by the developer to be used for the social activities but when some people were using it in the wrong way and telegam has nothing to do with it. So many people forget it and they think telegram filled by so many scammers.

Scammers in Telegram, well, there are scammers without Telegram, just why position a beautiful creation like Telegram with scammers, Telegram is a multi-functional tool with the ability to create a bot and a lot of other functionality, but as the question comes to do something useful through Telegram, many say telegram and there are scammers.

Scammers can show theirself in every social media. Why telegram?  It just because every projects has their own channels for giving information to the participant.  The scammers use telegram because they can manipulate many people in short time.  As we know that telegram can be enter by many participants in one channel.

Now, most of the work has to get done on telegram. Telegram plays an important role in the crypto section. Because every project has its own telegram channel and it is a very great source to get information throughout it. Due to all these activities scammer saw an opportunity to make scams. Unfortunately, scammers have started performing their scams on telegram as well.
Telegram allows the dev team to create a large community because the capacity provided is also very large. Not new if fraudsters use social media and chat applications to commit fraud. Make fake accounts as close as possible to official projects, then send PM to each member. That is why the dev team and admin always give warnings that they will not make your first PM.
Immediately report to the admin if you find an account like that to be used as a "warning" in the group and no one else is fooled. You can also report the account using the menu in the application.

I won't agree that scammers, fraudsters etc are associated with telegram rather I will say fraudsters choose to stay put in telegram because it gives them the opportunity to see whom to scam. Also, this issue about scammers are rampant in exchanges groups because they are one of the few project's group that have huge members, that is to say more chances of seeing innocent people to defraud. Therefore it is extremely important for everyone to be careful of those they chat with on telegram.

some time ago I lost access to the bibox exchange then I asked the official bibox telegram, after that there were so many scammers who were PM to me to ask for the email I had, they claimed if he was part of the team. I don't think it is possible for the team to PM simultaneously Cheesy Cheesy
besides that there are also some people who claim that if part of a project team that is doing an ICO, they also PM me with a 50% discount offer if I buy directly from it. it's all very strange. therefore telegrams are associated with scammers

Telegram is an easy to use platform that is highly compatible with bots, as such people can easily create spam bots, fake accounts to use to create fake population in a group in order to swindle people. It's sad that rather than seeking to use it positively, scammers have chosen to use it as one of their most preferred spamming/scamming platform.

Telegram was created to communicate people easily so the only fault for that is the scammer because they using as instrument the telegram to scam people or the investords.

Many scammers in the telegram so people need to be vigilant of what they joining and investing because people are don't aware once they want to get more profit they invested even they are risky to invest.

Nobody forces people at gunpoint to send money to scammers' wallets, people do it voluntarily by not noticing that scammer is talking to them.
Often, they do not even suspect that they can be deceived, which leads precisely to such consequences.


can't really blame people while the percentage of people who really know what they are doing in term of technology not to mention crypto which rarely known deeply by people. Although sometimes it's annoying how people keep getting scammed because lacking knowledge I think we still need another countermeasure for that.

False accusation, telegram don't associate with any scammers, bad people use every form of social communication tools to scam people in this era today, this is very common now and I think only greedy people get scammed on telegram, people don't just PM you without any aim

Scammers are on every social media. We are to be careful with who we chat with because it's very easy to impersonate users on telegram.
Facebook scammers are worst because they can customize their profile to look a professional trader

Telegram or any chat platform
even here, when there is opportunity, there will be always people
and when there is people, there will always be some that will try to take advantage of the others

Agreed, telegram not the only place associated with fraudster,  we have them in all online platform, but it seems they are more active on telegram and other chat platform mainly because it is easy for them to contact users and share fake links that can result to lose of funds, this is reason why it seems as if telegram is worse than the rest.
