Has anyone else been concerned about crypto scams on Telegram? With the increasing number of cryptocurrency discussions, it seems like scammers are getting more creative in targeting users. I’ve heard about a report bot that can help, but I’m curious about how effective it really is.

How do I report crypto scams on Telegram?

I want to make sure I’m taking the right steps to report suspicious activities. Can someone guide me through the process? Here’s what I think I need to do:

• Should I search for the official @ notoscam bot and start a chat with it?
• What kind of details should I include when reporting a scam? Is it enough to just mention the scammer’s username or channel name?

Also, I’ve come across the telegram bot @ report. Is this the best resource for reporting scams, or are there other channels I should be aware of?

What are common crypto scams to watch out for?

I’d love to hear from others about their experiences. What types of scams have you encountered on Telegram? Here are some that I’ve heard about:

• Fake investment opportunities with unrealistic returns.
• Impersonators pretending to be crypto experts.
• Phishing attempts asking for private keys.
• Fraudulent token sales or ICOs.

How can I protect myself from these scams?

What tips do you all have for staying safe while discussing crypto on Telegram? Here are a few ideas I’ve gathered:

• Should I always verify the authenticity of channels and users before engaging?
• Is it really necessary to never share my private keys or sensitive information?
• How can I identify guaranteed high returns or pressure tactics?

I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to protect myself and others in the community. Any advice or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!
