Scam Types and Descriptions

Scam Types and Descriptions:
Phishing login pages: Just like in your image, these scams trick you into clicking a fake link and entering your account or verification code, allowing scammers to steal your account.
Fake support or official accounts: Messages from accounts with names similar to official ones, like "Telegram_support_bot", pretending to be support staff.
Crypto investment scams: Fake channels or groups posing as celebrities promoting Bitcoin or USDT investments — it's actually a scam wallet.
Sexual bait scams: Fake female accounts chat with you, then lead you to shady websites or apps to steal your personal info or money.
Prize giveaway scams: Claims you won a prize, then asks for your personal details or a small fee — it’s a money trap.
Fake payment confirmation/report system: Tricks you into thinking your payment is incomplete, sends a third-party link to steal your card info.
Fake job/high-income scams: Offers jobs like Telegram admin or data entry, but asks for training fees or bank details upfront.
Account suspension threats: Claims your account has violated rules and needs "verification" — just another way to steal your credentials.
How to protect yourself:
The only official Telegram account has a blue check: @Telegram
Never click links from strangers
Only enter verification codes within the app, never on websites
Any message asking for "security verification" is probably a scam
Turn on Telegram’s Two-Step Verification for extra safety
