⚠️ The most common types of scam in Telegram: how not to fall for scammers’ tricks ⚠️
📩Letter to PM
In 99% of cases, if a stranger writes to you, it is a scammer. They may pretend to be supportive or offer help if you have shared a problem in some chat room. Administrator nicknames are often faked. Always check your nickname with the official channel. Remember: admins will never be the first to write with a request to buy something, transfer money or follow a link!
🔗Phishing links
Unverified links from unofficial sources may be malicious. They can steal your data or infect your device with a virus.
🗑NFT trash
If you find a bunch of junk NFTs in your wallet with the promise of mountains of gold, don't interact with them. This is a trick of scammers. Ignore such “gifts” and do not give in to provocations.
💬Transaction letters
When sending transactions, the scammer can write a comment about the drop and attach a link. Never follow such links or connect your wallet. This could lead to your funds being stolen.
🤡Spammers in chats
Messages with an airdrop button leading to fraudulent sites, calls to join closed channels, clubs, or receive signals are all tricks of scammers.
🔒 How to protect yourself?
- Be vigilant.
- Control your emotions and use common sense.
- Follow basic security: don't share personal information, don't click on suspicious links, and don't trust strangers.
🌐 Screenshots with seed phrases and funds in the wallet
Do not enter this phrase anywhere, there is no money for commission and when you want to replenish your wallet, a bot will work and write off all incoming funds.
🥸Access to courses/books/trainings
This is a way for scammers to scam you out of money, and not a gesture of goodwill. There is no need to write to them or follow their links.
