Be careful with Telegram Group Fake Admins

[Silverstone]

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

Being a new to this endeavor, I will thank you for this great advice.

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..

[Silverstone]

Oh, so we must be so careful. Maybe we must read also comments in a telegram to have an idea.

[flyaccount]

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.

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

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?

[bitpation]

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.

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.

Below picture for your reference, please let me know if the link is dead:

Received the mail about airdrop distribute, when I visited the page, it want my private key, shit!



Another one, I got the mail EOS airdrop is live, it same to my private key!



So, anyone please stay away from the page which wants to your private key, it absolutely is the scam or phishing page.

Great followup response to above suggestion, both are great information for new people, +Karma for both.

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.

[ZetsAmam]

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.

[eldial]

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.
