🔥 What is happening on Telegram? Arbitration that turned out to be a scam 🔥
In recent months, not just a couple of shady channels have been discovered — it's a whole scam network built like a business. And the scale, to put it mildly, is impressive 🤯
— Since November 2025, at least 27 Telegram channels belonging to one group have been discovered
— Content is copy-pasted word for word, only the names change
— Currently, at least 4 channels are actively running ads, but the real number is clearly higher
— They are not stingy with advertising money: only on December 21 — about 3 million ₽ spent on placements in major channels 💸
🧠 How the scheme works (classic, but refined):
1️⃣ First, they allow 1–2 exchanges for small amounts
2️⃣ Money is returned with a small profit — trust is established 😌
3️⃣ As soon as the amount increases — BAM ❌
— "the commission is stuck"
— "AML check"
— "network error"
4️⃣ They ask to repeat the payment for “unfreezing”
5️⃣ Then a “security deposit” appears and a dozen more reasons to deposit money
👉 On average, they extract $1000–2000 from a person
📌This is a single scam network with large advertising budgets, actors, and fake infrastructure.
