Telegram Mining Bots: The Business of Scamming Beginners

Did you see those bots on Telegram promising “earn DOGE/TRX without doing anything”? Spoiler: It’s a lie. Here’s exactly how they steal from you.

The Circus of False Promises

These schemes work like this:

Phase 1 - The Hook: They show a fake balance growing in real-time. Nice, right? But it was never yours.

Phase 2 - The Trap: When you try to withdraw, the magic message appears: “You need to pay a withdrawal fee” or “Make a deposit first to verify your account.” Result: you lose real money over imaginary balances.

Phase 3 - The Pyramid System: They offer more gains if you bring friends. The funds don’t come from mining (which doesn’t exist), but from new users. When the flow of victims stops, everything collapses.

Phase 4 - The Disappearance: The bot gets deleted, the channel closes, and the admins are already creating the next scheme with a different name.

The Reality of Mining

Cryptomining requires:

• ASICs, GPUs, or specialized hardware
• Large amounts of electricity
• Technical knowledge
• Significant initial capital

It doesn’t happen in a Telegram bot.

How to Earn Real Cryptos

• Staking: Lock your coins on a trusted platform and earn real returns
• Trading: Buy and sell strategically on regulated exchanges
• Task rewards: Some legitimate projects pay for verifiable tasks
• Real mining: If you’re genuinely interested, invest in hardware and electricity

Golden rule: If it sounds too easy, it’s because it’s too easy for them, not for you.

Be careful out there.
