[00:01] Telegram scams are growing every day. more than 150 billion rubles from Russians in 2024, and these are only the registered cases. Now I'll show you 10 scam schemes that will be active in 2025:

[00:13] Bitcoin transaction cancellations, fake exchangers, phishing links, and much more. The author fraud. The information is provided only to familiarize you with the scammers' methods. You'll be a scheme taster, subscribe, and like. Let's get started. The first scheme is a

[00:28] wallets, you can cancel Bitcoin transactions. For example, in older versions of the Elro wallet, people earn $10,000 a month using this. This is done by simply setting a minimum

[00:41] commission. Because of this, transactions take a very long time to complete before the first network confirmation. The transfer can be canceled, but the Xodus wallet shows that the money has already arrived at the first confirmation stage. The scammers are operating under

[00:54] the guise of an exchanger that only recently appeared. on the market and to earn a reputation, he sends money first with a favorable interest rate. They ask to download the Exodus wallet. Under the pretext that these are their official partners, but it

[01:07] can take a long time to find such a mammoth, and therefore they act smarter. They create a team and buy advertising in Telegram publics that they need workers. A person joins the team and is given a detailed manual from A. Yes, I do.

[01:21] The conditions there are very favorable. The admins will generate all the traffic themselves, and the worker only needs to communicate with people and send and cancel transactions. To begin with, they give him a client with small volumes from 50 to 100 dollars. But this is only necessary so

[01:34] that he develops Trust in this scheme. But the main mammoth turns out to be the worker, and now I will explain why, in fact, they do not generate traffic, but write to him from other accounts, and here is Denix. They increase the amount to a larger one, and the

[01:48] following happens: they send the address of another wallet, not Exodus, but Electrum. And on it, you can speed up the transaction by paying an additional commission. This can be done by either party, the sender or the The worker who accepts the money

[02:02] won't have time to cancel the transfer and will be left without money, and the Team administrator will block it. The second scheme is through a backdoor, one of the most popular methods for creating programs with bookmakers. Backdoors allow access to your data.

[02:15] Backdoors are hidden entrances that allow you to bypass standard security measures. This can happen in several ways. After creating malware, scammers strive to distribute it as widely as possible. For example, they create a

[02:30] crypto exchange and leak its code to various forms so that any user can install it. They wait until the victim gains a reputation with the crypto exchange so that at one opportune moment, when a large sum takes off, they can access

[02:42] the script and change the wallet address to their own. And the sponsor of this video is my Telegram channel, where I publish useful guides and earning schemes on how to secure a Telegram account. Where to find many forums for posting services and how to make money on

[02:55] dropshipping in a few hours. You can find all this at the link in the description. The third scheme is through automatic withdrawal from crypto wallets. Perhaps you've seen somewhere that users distribute their crypto wallet seed phrase. They

[03:08] ask for help to withdraw money or give it away for free, but in fact, it is impossible to withdraw it. The balance contains USDT, usually a round sum of 500 dollars. To withdraw it, you need to top up your trons. They are needed to pay the commission, but when you top up,

[03:22] they are automatically withdrawn, and all the victim's dreams are destroyed. Even if you have a sufficient tron ​​balance, you still will not be able to withdraw anything and you will get an error. It works very simply in Tron City. You can easily replace the wallet owner

[03:36] and change the rights. All this happens without changing the public and private keys. Fraudsters download Tronlink - This is a crypto wallet for the Tron network. Then they create two wallets and import Tronlink into them. One of them is real and the second is a

[03:49] real wallet. The scam wallet will be managed by the real wallet. Then they go to thon.org, the official Tron website, and connect their wallet to it. They copy the address of the real wallet and replace the current

[04:01] address in both fields with the address of the real wallet. After these actions, the fraudster can easily top up the address of the CM wallet and no one will be able to withdraw it usdt then the scammer sets up automatic withdrawal of thrones and

[04:13] distributes his seed phrase as soon as possible and then the happy mammoth replenishes them in the hope that now he will hit the jackpot, although the replenishment is small, but there can be a lot of such scammers per day. The fourth scheme is fraud on

[04:25] continuing work on forums, message boards, Telegram chats, people are constantly post an ad that workers are needed for easy and monotonous work. It is easy for them to get traffic since the demand

[04:38] for such work is very high and there are not many offers, especially with such favorable conditions. When a potential victim writes to them, they send a prepared Legend about the work, for example, mass

[04:50] registration of accounts is needed. But to create them, you need a dedicated server and anti-detection browser. Here the person may ask why they don’t give this out themselves and in this case responds that they used to buy a dedicated server for workers. But now, more and more often, there are

[05:03] cases in which workers abandon this business in the first hour and do not recoup the costs. Usually, people do not have this friend and they are interested in where they can buy and Here the scammer gives a link to a site where he supposedly takes dedicated servers, but in

[05:16] fact, it's his fake site, after payment, the buyer will receive exactly nothing. If the person is being cold, then they play on his emotions. Under the pretext that the recruitment is about to close, the average bill per person

[05:30] can be from 10 to 50 dollars, depending on which country the scammer operates in. The fifth scheme is mass fraud in betting. A lot of people bet on sports wanting to make money, the scammer collects a base of, for example, 100

[05:43] people. He writes to everyone, Legend, that he has fixed matches. But here's the problem. He himself cannot bet, because the bookmaker cuts his accounts for his winnings. For ten of them, he sends a victory for the first team, and in the

[05:56] second half, he sends a forecast for the victory of the second team. He spins this circle several times and ultimately he is left with a base of plus or minus five or ten people. They bet or not, but they see that

[06:09] five matches in a row have gone well before their eyes. But now the scammer does not give free matches, but offers them to buy His predictions for a round sum are usually at least 5-10,000 rubles. These people are very motivated, and therefore, out of ten people, approximately 78 will agree. But if the

[06:24] next match doesn't go well, the scammer will definitely give a replacement after one defeat. There aren't many people here, since they've seen a lot of victories, but after two defeats, no one will trust the scammer. The sixth scheme is

[06:37] Crypto streams. Scammers buy up YouTube channels or offer cooperation to unscrupulous bloggers. City counterfeits CDs. Fake popular personalities associated with cryptocurrency. Usually, this is Elon Musk or the founder of the

[06:49] company, Vitalik Buterin. An ordinary YouTube viewer sees in the recommendations a stream that talks about a new crypto exchange that attracts users and therefore gives 7 X2 if they register and link a wallet. The

[07:01] promotion ends very soon, and you need to hurry. In addition, there is a check mark on the account, and with it, Trust increases several times. The mammoth immediately follows the link from the description and connects his crypto wallet and from it. All cryptocurrency is withdrawn instantly.

[07:13] crypto wallet and from it. All cryptocurrency is withdrawn instantly. $100,000 per month using this scheme, depending on the number of their YouTube accounts. An iCloud scam. When logging into someone else's iCloud, the iPhone owner can

[07:26] block the phone and then extort money. One of the methods is implemented on dating sites: a scammer, posing as a girl, meets a man. They have a pleasant conversation and the scammer sends a photo of the girl. He says

[07:39] that there are more explicit photos, but to view them, you need to log into iCloud. The victim, in an emotional state, logs into the account and immediately his phone is blocked. The scammer tells him that to unlock the phone, you need to pay money. Usually,

[07:52] this is from 10 to 20,000 rubles, depending on the iPhone model. The victim of the scam keeps quiet for a long time, but still sends the money after the first transfer. Of course, the scammer does not unlock anything, he demands the same amount again and swears he will unlock

[08:06] falls for it, but there are Mega Desperate and gullible guys who do this again. Of course, there are Decent people with cameras who keep their promises, but there are very few of them. Fraudsters often

[08:18] buy stolen Telegram or VKontakte accounts and then write from them asking to log in to their iCloud. If you find yourself in this situation, try contacting Apple technical support. They might be able to help you. If you have a

[08:30] purchase receipt, the eighth scheme is a scam through Telegram channels. There are hundreds of chats in Telegram. Where they buy and sell advertising in Telegram channels, and there are a lot of scammers there. Fraudsters create dozens of Telegram channels and boost

[08:42] subscribers, views, reactions, and even comments on them. When a sufficient selling advertising in their channels. Experienced admins ask for a link to tstat or telemeter to see the smoothness of the arrival of subscribers, the source of traffic, and

[08:57] so on. But newbies have almost no understanding of this and look at the main indicator of who the admin took the advertising from. But since the scammers have dozens of inflated public pages, channels, and so the newbie sees that the advertising has been purchased and has no doubt about its authenticity.

[09:12] Public, and advertising can cost 1050 or even 150 dollars, and that's not all. When someone orders advertising from them, they boost subscribers to the victim's channel. Thinking he made a successful purchase, he buys advertising from several more

[09:26] publics from this network. He realizes he was deceived only a week later, when subscribers start reporting to the police. He can't go because the advertising was sold to him, and no one will figure out whether his account was in baht

[09:38] or real people, but advertising scams take too long, and therefore smarter scammers create fake channel exchanges. Many people don't want to bother developing their business and want to buy a ready-made Telegram channel, so they search

[09:51] YouTube for a twisted Telegram channel. There, YouTube bloggers review the CM service without checking its integrity and simply advertise on the exchange website. Real channels are presented, but without indicating their real owners.

[10:04] The buyer makes a payment through the platform, usually using crypto, and is immediately blacklisted. The ninth CM scheme on Garant BAT. Daily in Thousands of transactions for various goods, be it game accounts or Telegram

[10:17] channels, take place on Telegram. To avoid being scammed, users prefer to work with a person with a reputation. Fraudsters create a Telegram group where members sell or buy something, for example, game accounts. They

[10:30] generate traffic in various ways, for example, inviting with scripts. Fraudsters extract a database of people from YouTube chats and add them to their chats. There are also other methods of attracting traffic, for example, doorway channels. Doorway channels are channels

[10:44] that are displayed at the top for certain queries, for example, buy a PUBG account. By the way, this is the highest quality traffic. Fraudsters are trying to gain people's trust and therefore create fake reviews, and this works great.

[10:57] Video reviews are the most effective; they are expensive and inspire a lot of trust. Naive account sellers will turn to this guarantor and, as a result, will be scammed. Some hire schoolchildren who will work for a percentage in various chats. They

[11:10] are looking for traffic and offer a good price for an account. Usually, this scheme scams much easier to find an account seller. And even if you do manage to find a buyer, it's not always convenient to accept payment. But if there are

[11:23] no problems with payment, then they'll also scam you for donations in the game. The tenth scheme is phishing in Telegram. You can buy and sell usernames on Telegram using the Fragment platform. All you need to sell is to connect your TonKeeper wallet

[11:35] and wait for a buyer. Fraudsters parse Fragment users who previously bought nicknames because they might have money in their wallet balance. They message them on Telegram and offer to buy their usernames at a juicy price. The person

[11:48] agrees, and the cameras send him a phishing link to Gram bat disguised as a Fragment. Due to his inattention, Mamot doesn't notice that the Fragment is fake and then links his wallet, and

[12:00] all the money instantly disappears. If you want the second part, write about it in the comments. You were with a scheme taster, and I'll see you in the next video.
