BEWARE OF THE TELEGRAM SHARE SCAM!!13 Feb 2024 12:21
TELEGRAN "PUMP AND DUMP" SHARE SCAM:
"In a “pump and dump” share scam, the owners of a Telegram channel try to coordinate price manipulation of a share with a large group of members. The admins may claim to have “special” or insider knowledge; but in reality, they’re trying to pump the value of an asset they own and then sell it off before it crashes.
How to spot the scam:
Many of these scam Telegram channels call themselves “signal groups” and mask their true intentions behind market insights and insider information. This can make them hard to identify.
However, one common sign of a scam is a sense of urgency. These groups will often try to get you to act quickly without thinking, and elicit fear that you could miss out on a great opportunity.
Remember the golden rule of fraud prevention: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
What to do:
Don’t fall victim to a false sense of urgency. Always do your due diligence before investing.
Look for the historical performance of the group. Have they successfully predicted price increases in the past?"
