Beware: Frequent Cases of Telegram Account Hacking and Scams

Recently, there have been reports of individuals committing scams by hijacking others' Telegram accounts. These scammers impersonate the original account owner to contact acquaintances, attempting financial fraud. If you detect any anomalies, simply refuse to communicate.

Here are some tips to protect yourself in the Web3 world: First, never borrow or lend money to strangers; second, verify identities only through verified channels (such as WeChat with multiple authentication methods); finally, stay alert to any unfamiliar transfer requests.

By 2026, market opportunities and risks will coexist. We hope everyone pursues profits while safeguarding their assets. Protect your account private keys, avoid clicking suspicious links, and be cautious of social engineering attacks—these simple habits can help you avoid big trouble. A new year, new beginnings—safety comes first!

Really, the thefts on TG are getting more and more rampant. Several friends around me have already fallen victim. I directly block anyone asking for money, no discussion. Private keys are more precious than life itself. A small mistake and you'll be broke. But to be honest, even though we talk about safety every day, some people still click on random links. I really have no words. It's 2026, and people are still falling for the 2024 scams. These folks really have a lot of imagination.

Really, recently there have been too many TG accounts being hacked, friends need to be more cautious. This must be shared, too many people are still clicking on random links. Private keys, keeping them in your stomach is the safest. It's always scams by acquaintances, using the same tricks every time, so annoying. Web3 is like this, you can lose everything if you're not careful, but there are still ways to prevent it.

Damn, is it the same trick again? Two people in my circle of friends have already been scammed, really need to be more cautious. Getting your TG account hacked is now too common, it's hard to guard against. Oh my god, if the private key is leaked, it's directly bankruptcy. I don't even dare to click links casually now. Who dares to lend money casually these days? I ask three times if it's really them. Just thinking about this earlier, it feels like someone falls into a trap every day. You're right, verifying identity more often can really save lives. This batch of scammers is truly cunning, you need to be more alert.

Another story of a TG account being hacked. Why is this circle still so chaotic? Oh my god, I have to triple confirm when friends ask to borrow money. It's so crazy. Private keys are even more protected than a wife’s dowry. Never be careless.

Guys, you really need to be more careful. My friend almost got their account hacked a couple of days ago, and I was so scared that I quickly changed my password.

Here we go again with this routine. How many times has the TG hacking joke been told? Someone still falls for it. --- Honestly, borrowing money is too basic. Can't we try a different approach? --- Private keys are more important than life itself, or you'll lose everything. --- It's always like this. One moment of carelessness and you're phished. It's a bit annoying. --- It's 2026 and you're still clicking suspicious links. Serves you right. --- Stolen accounts pretending to ask for money. The problem is, everyone who knows me should realize I'm very poor, haha.

Laughing to death, it's the same old trick again. In our crypto circle, we have more "friends" than scam groups. In a bear market, they don't even spare TG numbers. These people are really dedicated; I genuinely admire them. To put it simply, just two words—don't trust anyone, no one except when the person appears in front of you. Nowadays, private keys are more valuable than life itself. If stolen, your assets can be wiped out instantly. I don't want to experience that feeling a second time. Remember, little guys: if a "friend" hasn't verified their identity and asks for money, they're just here to scam you.
