The presenter demonstrates how these scams work and warns users to keep large sums in cold wallets. ### Key Points - **Phishing Bot with Leaked Data** [00:30] — A Telegram bot immediately asks for an authorization code without requiring a phone number, using leaked databases (e.g., Voice of God) to fetch the victim's number via API. - **Hacked Account Resale** [02:03] — Hacked accounts are sold on marketplaces like LZT Market for kopecks; over 2 million accounts are currently for sale. - **Mass Messaging for Loans** [02:16] — Hackers send mass messages to contacts asking to borrow money; if a friend agrees, a P2P order is created and the scammer intercepts the crypto. - **Parsing for Crypto Balances** [02:31] — Hacked accounts are automatically parsed for crypto wallets; funds are transferred to scammers' wallets. Advises never to keep large amounts in Telegram. - **Fake Nickname Purchase via Drainer** [02:57] — Victims are told their nickname is valuable and offered money via a fake Fragment bot; connecting a wallet triggers a drainer smart contract that steals all funds. - **Wallet Substitution via Extension** [04:11] — Fake TradingView indicator extensions (e.g., God's Vision) replace copied wallet addresses with the scammer's address during transfers. - **Fake Support Services** [05:15] — Scammers create fake Telegram support accounts for exchanges like SushiSwap; victims pay to 'unfreeze' transactions but never get money back. - **Unofficial Telegram Clients** [06:44] — Unofficial clients (e.g., Backgam, Negram) create a file share that exposes all accounts, channels, and crypto balances to scammers; two-factor authentication is useless. ### Conclusion Telegram is rife with sophisticated scams that exploit leaked data, fake bots, and unofficial clients. Users should never keep large crypto balances in Telegram and should only use official apps and support channels. ## Transcript been a haven for scammers, but what they've come up with now, I think, will really surprise you. This video lists the top five scams that will be active in 2026. Hacking accounts in two clicks, stealing crypto through the purchase of nicknames, and substituting wallet numbers during transfers. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. And the fifth scheme will make you think about whether security is even possible. when I literally didn’t have time to press two buttons. I found this Telegram bot in the vastness of Telegram, pressed start in it, and it immediately asked for an authorization code. The authorization key for a Telegram account. The thing is , I didn't enter my phone number, I just pressed start in the bot and somehow miraculously they immediately sent me an authorization code. Before we delve into this topic, and it took me about a few hours to figure out how they do it, let's figure out how What is phishing? This is the creation of a fake resource where the victim enters their login and password, which are then sent to the scammers. In the case of Telegram, the login and password are the phone number and the authorization code. After entering them, hackers create a file on the server, which serves as the authorization key for your Telegram account. And fishing is important ways hackers hide accounts. But here I didn't even enter my phone number, that's how they sent me the code. This is where bots like Voice of God and Duhles come into play. They have already collected data on millions of users in the CIS countries, including IP addresses, first names, last names, and countries of residence, and make this data available in just a few clicks. Now the point is that phishing has crossed with these leaked databases. And when a person presses start, the phishing service immediately sends a request via API to check your Telegram ID data. If the data is available, they return the phone number, and the service automatically sends an authorization code to your account. All you have to do is enter it. But why would they hack an account in this way resale on marketplaces. There, accounts can be listed for literally a few kopecks. And at the moment, more than 2 million accounts are for sale on the same LZT Market . Those accounts that are signed by phishing or from the control panel are which there are hundreds of thousands at the moment. Second. Hackers send mass messages to contacts asking them to borrow money. If the victim's friends respond and agree, an order is created in the P2P bot, the scammer copies the wallet and sends it to the victim, and the victim receives secure crypto via P2P exchange . The third factor is the mass parsing of hacked accounts for the presence of never keep large amounts of money in Telegram. All the rest of my crypto is always stored in a cold wallet, from which money will definitely never be stolen. Once hackers gain full access to a victim's account, all accounts are mass-parsed and funds are automatically transferred to their wallets. Theft of funds through the purchase of a nickname. My subscribers constantly contact me about this scheme , asking: "Is this real or a scam?" They are told that their nickname is the most ordinary one, no one needs it, and they want to buy it for 3,000 tons. In this case, everything must be done through the official fragment bot. People go to the Telegram users are actually being resold there. And some of them are really expensive. And the most important thing is that the victims don’t even require any money. And then the question is: what is the scam here? Everything is as simple as possible. A person is presented with a fake bot fragment, where every link, every button leads to the official website, and it seems that there is no catch. But for the transaction to take place, you need to connect your crypto wallet to receive funds. When you connect, you get caught on a drainer. This is a malicious smart contract that drains all the money from your crypto wallet. The scheme is not designed to steal money from you specifically. The scheme is designed to ensure that among hundreds of millions of users, there are those who have tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars in their wallets. In fact, I am constantly invited to join a team of such drainers. I always refuse, but I know that these guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. That is, this is the largest possible amount of money. There this is the largest possible amount of money. There fraction of these traffic sources. They fake both official exchanges and official services and send traffic to these services. Cryptocurrency interception with wallet substitution. Intercepting crypto using an extension is a topic that has been around for a very, very long time. But now in Telegram it takes on a Telegram channels are advertising a that allows Trading View—the largest crypto analytics service, mind you—to enable an indicator called God's Vision, which determines the next direction of a chart. People install the extension, use it for a week or two, even trade with it, sometimes they even have some point, when copying a wallet, as I do now, I now insert and insert a completely different one. At one point, when people make a standard money transfer, they transfer it with a camera. I have already posted such an extension script on our channel. You can download and install it in two clicks and test how it works, but only for informational purposes. Fake support services. My friends recently lost $3,000 on this topic. How did this scheme work? They made some kind of transaction on DexBirzha. It is a decentralized exchange, which is, in principle, a little more complex than regular ones. And they had some question that they couldn't solve. The money somehow emotional, and look for support. Instead of going to the official support site, they typed in Telegram Sushi Swap Support and were met by a fake person who asked them for $3,000 to unfreeze their transaction, promising that the money would all be returned to them. The point is that creating fake accounts on Telegram is not difficult. If we go find hundreds of different crypto exchangers here. Each of these sites has its own support team on Telegram, and each of these support teams has dozens of clones. When people don't click the link, but enter it through Telegram, there's a very high chance of running into a scammer. And in the case of shi swap, they have . No matter who a person writes to on Telegram, it's 100% a scam and a waste of money. And before I analyze what is probably the most ingenious scheme for hacking Telegram accounts, how hackers do it now, I want to say that the average cybercriminal earns only 3 to 5,000 dollars, constantly on edge, with fears that someone will knock on his door in the morning. At the same time, the average admin of a Telegram channel on crypto with literally 5,000 subscribers also earns between $3,000 and $5,000, with the potential to scale. I'll be sharing one of the next plans for developing your crypto public on this channel. Just subscribe and earn money legally. Unofficial Telegram client. Mass hack. So, I'll tell you a secret that I actually recently had contact with a certain team, thanks to which I learned that hundreds of my accounts are already in their tenacious hands. What's the point? There are various Telegram clients: Backgam, Negram, Cattaegram and dozens of others. These are certain perks. For example, adding a large number of Telegram accounts. These clients are often used by Telegram admins or people official Telegram client only allows you to add three accounts. So, when adding their accounts, the owners of this unofficial client also create a file share, which I described in the first diagram. Their dashboards immediately display how many Telegram channels have been created, whether there are crypto wallets, and what the balances are in these crypto wallets. This way, you will never even realize that your account has been hijacked, because it was done when you simply opened Telegram. Now look, dear traffickers, how many unofficial clients you currently have on your devices. I have more than five. They have my Telegram channels, which are worth tens of thousands of dollars. And if the owners of this client want to transfer this channel to themselves, they will block access to their client for literally half an hour and do whatever they need. In this case, two-step authentication will only a few cybercriminals earn hundreds or even tens of thousands of dollars. It's much better, much easier, and without the stress, you can create your own Telegram channel and make money from it. And the first step to this is promoting your channel. And one of the best ways is neurocommenting, mass commenting on other people's Telegram channels using neurobots. And about this scheme in using neurobots. And about this scheme in this video. Click.
