TELEGRAM FRAUD RECOVERY
Telegram is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with over 550 million monthly active users. However, Telegram’s popularity — as well as it’s ostensibly high levels of security — has made it a top choice among hackers and scammers.
Telegram scams are similar to the fake text messages, emails, and robocalls you receive daily. Scammers use social engineering techniques to trick you into disclosing personally identifiable information (PII) such as your credit card number, Social Security number (SSN), or two-factor authentication (2FA) codes for cryptocurrency and social media accounts. Identifying, avoiding, and dealing with such scams is difficult. However, if you have fallen victim, Digital Currency Reclaim has developed novel methods to recover financial losses suffered to Telegram frauds
Types of Telegram Frauds
- Phishing Attacks : In order to deceive you into disclosing your personal information, a Telegram user will pretend to be someone you would normally trust, like a friend, coworker, or customer service representative.
- Off-platform fraud : You receive a link or are persuaded to leave the Telegram network and visit a less secure website by someone. Your private information may be stolen through this website, and malware may even be installed on your computer
- Telegram bots : Fraudsters employ bot accounts that may be created on the Telegram network to quickly target weak legitimate accounts. Due to their use by terrorists and child abusers, the network banned 350,000 bot accounts in 2020
- Onboarding Hackers : Telegram’s system only allows users to sign in using codes sent via text message, making it vulnerable. Hackers exploit such flaws to steal users’ identities, spoof phone numbers and conduct other illegal activities
- Telegram Crypto Scams : People that seem to be interested in cryptocurrency and blockchain now frequently use Telegram. Fraudsters frequently target Telegram users in order to access their cryptocurrency wallets and withdraw their bitcoin (BTC), ether, and other coins
- Fake Telegram Groups & Help : Dummy accounts of technical support teams, administrators, and groups on Telegram defraud users while going unnoticed. For example, cases of fake cryptocurrency groups and duplicate accounts of crypto founders have caused significant harm to their victims
How Can You Tell If Someone on Telegram Is Real?
Because Telegram fraudsters are getting more inventive, you can be the target of a scheme that is related to the ones mentioned above but is not exactly the same. You’ll need to use caution when speaking with other Telegram users in certain circumstances
Here are several indicators that an account is fraudulent or a Telegram bot if you have reason to be skeptical of it
- Ask the person who sent you a direct message to reply in the main group. To avoid being discovered, scammers constantly make an effort to keep their discussions quiet
- Whenever an “admin” requests personal information from you, take a screenshot of their profile and forward it to another channel admin. If you engage with an account that isn’t valid, a real user will be able to inform you.
- Query their demand for your personal details. It is probably a scam account if someone asks for your login details, whereabouts, pictures, and videos of you, or if they demand money
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM TELEGRAM FRAUD
- Be wary of all links, especially if they originate from friends whose accounts might have been stolen or accounts that appear to be theirs.
- Always be wary of strangers and offers. It’s critical to comprehend your obligation to take precautions while using a platform this well-liked and widely accessible.
- Don’t ever divulge your login information. Additionally, you shouldn’t believe any threatening messages that purport to be from Telegram, cryptocurrency wallets, banks, or any other websites that possess your personal data.
- Make sure your passwords are secure to stop scammers from accessing your account. Use at least 10 different upper- and lowercase characters, numerals, and symbols in a distinctive, challenging combination. Never use this password for another account. Think about utilizing a password manager to assist you in keeping track of all your passwords.
- Change the privacy settings. Turn on end-to-end encryption as soon as you create your Telegram account. Turn on passcode or fingerprint ID and two-step verification to increase security (2FA).
- Make sure the email and phone number linked to your account are current. If you ever lose access to your account, this will help prove that it belongs to you.
