The simplest way to find channels and groups on Telegram is to use its built-in search feature. This allows users to use keywords to search for public channels, groups, and individuals. The downside to this approach is that search results can be limited and there is no way to filter or refine them.
As an alternative, users may opt to use other resources such as Telegram search engines, directories, databases, or other resources that aggregate groups and channels on Telegram and list them by category.
Designed to support digital investigations and cyber threat detection, StealthMole’s Telegram Tracker offers advanced search capabilities that make it easy to track and identify channels and groups engaged in illicit activities on Telegram.
Some of the most common scams on Telegram are:
1. Fake Telegram channels - Using the same profile picture, name, and admin details, scammers will create a copy of familiar Telegram channels and use them to collect personal information of members.
2. Cryptocurrency scams - Pretending to be “crypto experts” scammers will offer high-yield investments, only to disappear with the money after users make a deposit.
3. IT Support scams - Scammers will pose as customer support agents and reach out to offer tech support. Throughout the interaction, they will ask for sensitive information or even access to the user’s personal device in order to “fix” the issue.
Telegram is popular among cybercriminals primarily due to the anonymity and encryption features that it provides. Additionally, the platform’s user-friendliness and global reach, make it an attractive alternative to the tedious setup of traditional dark web markets and forums.
