Frequently asked questions
How do Telegram scams usually work?
A bot or account impersonates official support or an airdrop, then asks for your seed phrase, a 'verification' payment or wallet connection. Never share a seed phrase.
Can I verify an official project bot?
Yes — cross-check the exact handle here and against the project's official site. Impostors use one-character differences.
Is checking anonymous?
Yes, the lookup is read-only and the account isn't notified.
