Will Polkacity ever message me on Telegram & offer support? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!


Telegram is one of the most used social media apps in Crypto, BEWARE OF SCAMMERS! 


Common scams on Telegram


1. Customer Support Scam 

2. Fake Admin Profiles

3. Imposter Accounts 

4. Fake Polkacity Channels



These are likely the most common scams you’ll experience on Telegram. It is predominant in channels with lots of community members.


Once you ask a question to the group, scammers come straight to your DM and ask for private details to help solve your issues. Scammers will send you links and ask you to connect your wallet etc. Once you do this, you will lose access to your wallet!


This usually occurs when the admin or support team takes time to respond to your request.


Tips on how to avoid Customer support scams

One of the ways to avoid this type of scam is to pay attention to details.

Firstly there are certain tips you must keep in mind on Telegram:


  • The support staff will never send you a DM first.

  • Do not release any sensitive information such as seed phrases and passwords to anyone.

Always pay attention to the names of the admin of your group. Scammers have a way of cloning the username of the admin to deceive you that they are the support staff of that telegram channel. For example, if the name of the admin is “Jared”, they’ll clone it as “Jarred” or something similar.





Note: If you fall for a scam and your wallet is compromised, nobody can help you.
