If you are investing in ICOs or just even attending airdrops, please be careful with telegram direct messages.
When you join a telegram group, a fake account with the same name and picture of the group admin might send you a message, this can only be a friendly welcoming message.
These fake admins can ask give you some ETH addresses to send your money, to buy the ICO tokens or only to donate airdrops, or even your MEW private key...
*2 days ago, I joined bitfinex telegram to ask some questions. I directly got a dm from an admin looking scam account, it was only a welcoming message. Reported immediately

We should be careful to those who send private message that introduce his/her self as admin, use only those telegram given in the bounty thread to avoid to become a victim of any scamming activty
-
what a bad news. I am sorry to hear that. we must be more careful. I hope there will be no more similar incidents that will harm investors..
-
No wonder now there are many scams to gain unilateral profits. so still be careful, I've experienced a lot of the same thing but I ignore it because they are fake accounts
-
I agree with you. we must be more careful in following projects in ICO and Airdrop. because lately there are so many news that there is a Cram project. and that was very surprising for me and the investors.

Yes, i am agree with you. Everyone should be careful enough when they will invest or join any bounty or make any deal. Also All group should pin the admin telegram address.

Usually, when someone would direct message me related to ICO then I would just disregard since more often than not, it would just be a scammer who wanted to get hold of my coins. There are several warnings by the admin that they do not send direct message and will not ask for ETH. If you wanted to join an ICO then directly go their site an register there.
-
I agree bro. because my friend experienced this when entering Airdrop and there was an admin who asked for an account at ETH. As a result my friend was fooled. I hope my friends in this forum will not experience the same event.

Thank you for notifying information about telegram groups and fake accounts. it really helps me because I'm also a newbie. but to find out if that fake telegaram account is set up how
-
Whenever someone pm's you out of the blue, find out what groups you have in common and find out if the person has the admi star before you reply to their messages. Most people change their usernames to look exactly like the admi's and even use their profile pics, so be careful.

It not only in the TG group, after I have started trading in the crypto and joined the Bitcointalk, I have received many e-mails every day, those scammers want to my private key and want to hack my trading account, everyone should install the firewall and the antivirus, keep your private key in the safety place.

I got scammed some months ago when I was at the beginning by. A fake telegram administrator of eidoo ico.. furtunately I lost only 50 eur but now I pay more attention to everything..
-
Oh, so we must be so careful. Maybe we must read also comments in a telegram to have an idea.
-
Yes, exactly. we must be careful in investing our capital. especially projects in the ICO. because lately many projects in ICO are Scam. and that is the fact, the most important thing before we invest we must be careful, find out in advance the project and it will be your guide in investing.

That is right. We must be very careful and do not just give our personal information to anyone. But the best is as what you said, know first before joining a telegram.

-
I was invited to this Telegram group. I feel very disturbed because I don't know the person who added me to Telegram. Can someone tell me how to block this scam Telegram?
-
So true. now we must be more careful of the Fake Admin Group Telegram. this is usually in the ICO, and usually they also ask for our ETH account and ask for a lot of money. if there are such things do not obey. because my friend who is also doing business in crypto experienced such a fate. namely fraud that impersonates the ICO.

Yes i already notice this kind of scamming they pretend to be the Bounty manager of a campaign and after they can collect money to investors they automatically disappear including the telegram.
-
Thank you very much for this experience. It will be very helpful for all members here. In my opinion if you are asked like that about your ETH address to send your money, do not immediately believe it, first make sure the correctness of the Admin account is by searching for information related to the ICO you are following. If it's correct and you know if the Admin opens a scam, you just send your ETH address.

i am sick of these scammers... good example for the newbies my friend.
also I am sick of the twitter "eth giveaways" OMG.
you know what, I have a web developer friend - she is not a trader, but has a small btc -. She called me like a couple of months ago and told me that she saw elon musk giving away some ETHs, she was really excited about that and just wanted me to confirm if it is okay to send him ETHs.
I was really shocked that even she can be easily manipulated by them - when I say "even" i mean that she is into development and well aware of scam issues around web.
-
Massive scammers account on Telegram and Twitter nowadays, they keep trying to impersonating any official ico project.
Be careful, don't trust anyone who you don't know.

I already read many times that's why i am very careful now in communicating in telegram especially to people who encourage us to invest in unknown coins.
-
You true about that, I find to much fake admin on telegram group. In this cases we must know who is the real admin. I always report privately to admin when I see fake admin. This is not difficult to know them fake or not.
-
This is a great asking and I am so wake regarding this because this is true many telegram group fake admins will offer into a good services but into the end they ask your private key to be given and I am now carefully communicated to this groups.
-
Thank you for those of you who have reminded us of the Fake Telegram Admin Group. Even this fake Admin can ask for some ETH addresses that we have to send money to us, to buy ICO tokens or just to donate airdrops, or even our own MEW private. We are here afraid of events like that, including me.
-
I joined a bounty before and it was unsuccessful. But I never get discouraged. My advise is just read carefully the whitepaper, observe keenly and always follow and open your telegram.
-
We must make sure we are careful and we know more about the thing before getting into it.

You're right, fake admin always ask purcase token and transaction will happend in private. Its bad
-
Notice the admin in telegram first that you will dm her or him. Afterwards if she responded then you can do dm to make sure both of you are not scammers. Don't easily trust anyone who say they are admin by sending you a personal massage it is much better if you will confirm it in official group. Then the next move is depends on you and in the legit team members.
-
Some people copy the name of an admin and then try to ask people to invest at low price. Have to be careful of scams
-
I think it's clear for everyone being in crypto at least few days.
-
Thank you for the warning given by you. I hope that people and friends here immediately read this information from you so that later friends will not be trapped and suffer losses after participating in the fake Grub Telegram. Because lately there has been a lot of fraud with various modes.
-
Yes it's true there are lots of fake admins that trying to communicate us in telegram that are trying to sell their fake tokens.
-
I agree, we need to be careful and attentive in order not to fall into the trap of scammers. It's good that there are such branches on the forum))
