Warning about fraudulent projects on Telegram related to $TON : The responsibility of exchanges

Trust is an essential value in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, but many investors have fallen into fraudulent projects mainly promoted through Telegram. These projects, which promise high returns quickly using TON, have deceived thousands, leading them to lose money and time.

Projects like ToMarket, Hamster Kombat, and Catizen have used Telegram to attract investors with false promises of quick profits. However, in the end, participants realized that their investments disappeared while the founders became wealthy. These are not the only ones; there are many similar projects on the TON network that have exploited the lack of regulation to scam users.

The situation is worsened by the complicity of exchanges, which allow the inclusion of these fraudulent projects on their platforms. By admitting projects that do not meet safety standards, exchanges facilitate investors falling into these deceptive schemes. Users, believing they are participating in something legitimate, become victims of manipulation.

Many projects have deceived their followers by promoting the false idea that participation was "free." However, lost time cannot be recovered. Even if some do not invest money directly, the time they dedicate to these projects is invaluable. If we could recover time, we would all have bought Bitcoin in 2011, when its value was within reach of anyone who understood its potential.

Responsibility falls not only on the promoters of these projects but also on the exchanges that allow their existence. These exchanges contribute to collective harm by failing to conduct proper due diligence. It is crucial that users are informed and do not fall for the empty promises of these frauds.

In summary, time is the most valuable thing we have. Do not let them steal it from you.
