Quick answer
Telegram is the preferred platform for crypto investment scams, fake task-based income offers, and impersonated exchange support. Any unsolicited contact promising income for simple tasks or guaranteed crypto returns should be treated as a scam.
What Our Tool Checks
- Task-based income offer patterns (like/review tasks, crypto tasks)
- Investment channel promises (guaranteed daily % returns)
- Fake exchange or wallet support impersonation
- Requests for wallet seed phrase or upfront crypto payment
- Pressure to recruit others or invest more to unlock earnings
Common Warning Signs
- Invited to a group offering daily pay for completing 'tasks'
- Told you must first deposit crypto to unlock your earnings
- An 'admin' DMing you — real Telegram admins do not DM first
- Group with thousands of members showing large 'withdrawal proofs'
- Pressure to recruit friends to level up your earning tier
What Not to Submit
To protect your privacy, never paste these into any tool — and never submit passwords, OTPs, card numbers, bank logins, or private IDs.
- Your Telegram account phone number or verification code
- Crypto wallet seed phrase (12 or 24 words) to any contact
- Upfront crypto payments to unlock, activate, or verify anything
What to Do If Something Looks Suspicious
- Leave the group or block the contact immediately
- Never send crypto based on a promise of returns from a Telegram contact
- Report the channel or account via the 'Report' option in Telegram
- If you shared a seed phrase — move funds to a new wallet immediately
