Beware of Telegram "Last-Minute News" Channel Turned Coin Scam

October 15, 2023 7:12 AM211

I recently discovered the "Last-Minute News" Telegram channel, which used to provide real-time news updates. However, as the channel's subscriber base grew, it abruptly transformed into a cryptocurrency sales hub. I decided to look into this strange shift because I was intrigued. The "Last-Minute News" channel is run by a person who goes by the handle "B***** H****" and promotes various cryptocurrencies. They claim to hold evening sales, and these sales do occur as promised. The catch is that when you try to withdraw your earnings, you are charged exorbitant fees such as 6,500 TL for transaction fees, 14,500 TL for phone unblocking, and 25,000 TL for IBAN activation. What's troubling is that you must deposit these fees into a personal IBAN, with no official institution involved. This scheme's website is still active, sharing what appear to be official receipts, but they're nothing more than blank pieces of paper. Be wary and don't fall for this cryptocurrency scam!

There is a Telegram channel called "Last Minute News." To follow the news, you join the channel. Within a week of joining, they conduct coin sales claiming to generate income. The group is managed by someone named "Burak Hasoğlu," and they provide the name and website of the coin to be sold. They show that you've earned money, but they don't actually pay you. To avoid paying, they come up with various excuses and try to collect money from you. Additionally, they share receipts claiming winners, but those receipts are fake. Do not fall for it. Be cautious. There is no legal aspect to it.
