Rising: Telegram “investment group” payout scams

11 Jul 2026 · fraudwatch.et

Summary

Groups promise daily returns, show fake withdrawal screenshots, then demand a fee before payout.

What is happening

Victims are added to Telegram groups promising guaranteed daily returns. Early small “payouts” build trust before a large deposit is requested and the group disappears. Treat any guaranteed-return offer as a scam.

What to do

Do not share OTPs, PINs, passwords, or screenshots.

Verify requests through official numbers or apps you find yourself.

Report suspicious indicators so they can be reviewed.
