So many scammers disguise themselves as legit people, that you don’t even know who to trust again. I was on Telegram and randomly found myself in a Telegram group with over 800 people.
The name of the group was “Bungxchange” and I saw many active members chatting and completing businesses.
As a Crypto trader, I showed interest in the group when a member put Tron up for sale. He responded by calling me and telling me that only scammers buy and sell in the DMs. That he prefers to do his own in the open to avoid being scammed and unnecessary shalaye.
I then publicly chatted with him on the group. We even had to involve the Admin( co-scammer) who also appeared to be a genuine person. One of the group rules was to pay a N200 fee, which will be used to contact the seller to credit my wallet.
After this, we both signified on the group that we were about to complete the trade, and the admin sent his account details. I made the payment and posted the evidence on the group, he confirmed it and told the seller to fund my wallet.
After some minutes, the seller called me and told me to hold on, that I should expect the notification in 5 minutes.
To my greatest shock, I couldn’t find the scamming Telegram group “Bungxchange” in less than an hour. I couldn’t reach both the scamming seller and scamming group admin as well.
I have been scammed by 2 unfortunate people. N100, 200: 00 gone!
Avoid random Telegram groups, please.
