Beware of Impersonation Scams on Telegram

telegrinim-tg.cc

We have observed a recent increase in scams involving fake Telegram websites. Scammers are creating websites that look very similar to the real Telegram login page to steal your login credentials.

Here's how to recognise these scams:

• Look closely at the website address: The scam website address is likely to be slightly different from the legitimate Telegram website (telegram.org). In this case, the scam site is telegrinim-tg.cc. Always double-check the URL before entering any personal information.
• Be wary of unsolicited messages or requests to log in: Scammers may send you messages prompting you to log in to your Telegram account through their fake website.

If you have entered your Telegram credentials on this website:

1. Immediately change your Telegram password using the official Telegram app or website (telegram.org).
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) within your Telegram settings for added security. This adds an extra layer of protection to your account.
3. Inform your contacts about the potential compromise so they can be wary of any suspicious messages from your account.
4. Report the scam website to the authorities and Telegram support.
