Investment Scams on Telegram: Fake Trading Groups Stealing Crores

 

Cybercriminals are exploiting Telegram’s anonymity to run large-scale investment scams, luring victims with promises of high returns on stocks, crypto, and forex. Many Indians have lost lakhs to crores in these scams, often realizing too late that the entire scheme was fake.

Here’s how these scams work, red flags to watch for, and how to protect yourself.


1. How Fake Telegram Trading Scams Operate

๐Ÿ“Œ Step 1: The Bait (Fake Ads & Fake Success Stories)

  • Scammers create fake Telegram groups with names like:

    • "SEBI-Approved Trading Signals"

    • "Elon Musk’s Secret Crypto Group"

    • "100% Profit Forex Trading"

  • They post fake screenshots of profits, paid celebrity endorsements, and testimonials.

๐Ÿ“Œ Step 2: The Hook (Free Trials & Small Profits)

  • Victims are given a "free trial" with small profits to gain trust.

  • They’re told to deposit ₹5,000–₹10,000 initially, which "doubles" in a few hours.

๐Ÿ“Œ Step 3: The Trap (Big Deposits & Sudden Losses)

  • Once victims invest larger amounts (₹50,000+), the scammers:

    • Manipulate fake trading dashboards to show losses.

    • Demand more money to "recover losses."

    • Block users after withdrawing funds.

๐Ÿ“Œ Step 4: The Exit (Disappearing Act)


2. Common Types of Telegram Investment Scams

๐Ÿ’ฐ Fake Crypto Pump-and-Dump Schemes

  • Groups claim to have "insider info" on new crypto coins.

  • Victims buy, scammers sell (pump & dump), leaving them with worthless tokens.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Fake Forex/Stock Trading Bots

  • Fraudsters sell "AI-powered trading bots" that promise auto-profits.

  • In reality, they just steal deposits.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Fake IPO & Private Investment Scams

  • Scammers offer "exclusive IPO access" or "private equity deals" (e.g., Tesla, Reliance).

  • Victims pay but never receive shares.
