not just the major crime groups that
benefit there are some solo users that

the app like yoges Mina the student
turned criminal entrepreneur in March of
2024 yog's jaw-dropping story hit the

the park because on telegram users are

multiple tutorials on how to commit
Financial crimes via Telegram and other
platforms but recently he took things up
a notch by creating an online shop
selling stolen credit cards PayPal
accounts and other counterfeit items
punch mayev might be a notable figure in
telegram crimes but he's just one of the
many scammers who have found a home on
the platform telegram is also widely
used for crypto scams an Infamous
example was the crypto scam involving
popular alt crypto shibba enu where
scammers contacted countless people with
fake links to purchase other
cryptocurrencies the scammers targeted
those within the Sheba Eno coin
Community because many of the Sheba Eno
investors lost a ton of money after the
coin was hyped up on social media but
like many other crypto coins the hype
soon died down and the price dropped
rapidly this caused a ton of rookie
investors to lose out on thousands of
dollars with no real hope of getting
that money back since the coin now lost
its popularity scammers were well aware
that these investors were looking to
make back the money that they lost which
is why they were the perfect victims
they would approach these people with
proposals for other Investments That
promised insane returns however the
links that they sent were fishing links
meant to steal their personal
information on the other end of the
spectrum there's also full-on pyramid
schemes for crypto scammers ton coin is
one of the biggest crypto scams on
telegram today the premise of ton coin
is simple invest your money buy boosters
that can earn you more money and invite
your friends to make a commission on
their Investments your standard pyramid
scheme the scam requires all victims to
register for a crypto wallet using a
specific telegram bot which records
every user's personal information from
there victims have to purchase ton coins
the more they buy the more commission
they make and to incentivize victims to
keep digging themselves into a deeper
hole the scammers will promise even more
money if they buy booster packs or
invite their friends to join the program
needless to say none of these victims
ever saw any money all those glorious
commissions that they promised they're
not real these schemes are meant for you
to throw money at scammers who will
never actually give you any of it back
this is all too common on telegram some
unsuspecting people have lost thousands
of dollars in these investment
opportunities in Delhi India there was a
man who was invited to a telegram group
chat filled with who he thought were
aspiring investors like he was when in
reality they were nothing more than a
group of scammers the scammers worked
together to convince him that there was
a profitable investment opportunity
waiting for him at first he was asked to
put down a deposit of 120 in their local
currency which he did immediately he got
180 in return which is $60 more than he
originally put down that was enough to
convince him that this was all legit so
he kept depositing more cash and this is
exactly how the scammers get you because
the man received even more money than
what he had given them he had a reason
to believe that this was legit so he
ended up giving the scammers an
additional 15,000 in hopes of becoming
rich but once the money was received
things took a terrible turn because not
only was he not getting his money back
but the scammers were now off the grid
they immediately ghosted him and left
them with no leads on reporting them for
their crimes but scammers don't only
pray on those who are desperate
financially they also pray on those who
are desperate for love there's a scam
from Vietnam that targeted men
specifically lonely men the telegram
group chat called Beauty Heaven Was
marketed as a sanctuary for men looking
for love many joined the chat room in
hopes of entering in casual
relationships with women a Vietnamese
man from naan Province was one of these
men but what he didn't realize before
joining was that talking to these women
wouldn't be an easy task he wanted to
find himself a hookup but before he
could actually get chatting with any
girls the group chat admin said that he
had to do a series of missions to get
VIP membership this membership was
supposed to guarantee him discounted
Services while having fun with the
Beauties and without it he wouldn't even
be able to talk with any of them the
more missions you complete the better
tier your VIP memberships got but there
was one catch it said that after each
completed Mission he had to send them
certain fees to claim his rewards and
the higher the tier the higher the fee
at first he would make his money money
back and then some but he still didn't
get what he came for to talk to any of
the girls but he kept doing the missions
anyway eventually giving the group chat
admins over 560 million Vietnamese Dong
which is around
$22,000 eventually the man realized this
was a scam and asked for his money back
but all they did was just ask him for
more instead before eventually cutting
contact alog together but while scammers
take advantage of those who are
vulnerable other criminals even recruit
them to become criminals too tricking
innocent people into crime for criminals
telegram's search feature isn't just
useful for finding victims it's also a
powerful tool for finding recruits any
legitimate criminal organization has a
hierarchy with the bosses at the top and
the workers at the bottom and with so
many people on the internet eager to
make some quick cash that opens up a
huge talent pool for potential new
criminals and a lot of times this
illegal work is disguised as fake job
postings promising High salaries and a
ton of benefits then when they actually
start working they realize that this
isn't what they signed up for but
instead it's something much darker the
most common form of illegal employment
is fraud in 2021 US Banks reported
almost
250,000 cases of check fraud and in 2022
that number almost doubled to around
460,000 and the reason the check fraud
has become much more widely accessible
is because of apps like telegram that
let criminals easily find people who
would do do their dirty work check fraud
is when people find checks make a
counterfeit copy of the original and
then change the information on the
actual check like who it's addressed to
so that they can deposit the money into
their own bank accounts instead but even
though the information's been changed
the check still needs to be physically
deposited at a bank and that's where the
rookie recruits from telegram come into
play many check frauders find people to
cash in these checks via telegram
promising them quick cash in return all
these people have to do is just walk
into their local bank and deposit a
check into a certain bank account after
that the gangs take care of the rest and
the rookies get a portion of the money
relatively low risk if they keep a low
profile and for someone like nikra
Shannon it's even lower risk because
during the day she's a postal service
worker she had been working at a
Processing Center in Charlotte North
Carolina for a year and a half before
she realized there was a much more
profitable opportunity in front of her
which means that she has easy access to
checks that are being mailed from all
around the world from April to July of
2023 Nedra would pocket checks that she
found in the mail when she got off work
she would send these checks to her two
co- conspirators Donell G and Desiree
Carter Desiree was the founder of a
crime telegram Channel called the OG
glass house which became an esteemed
Marketplace for purchasing and selling
illegally obtained checks using the
Alias Swiper the three of them would
coordinate the selling of all the checks
that nikra got from work together they
were able to steal an estimated $24
Million worth of checks criminals from
all around the world have discovered the
value in these schemes making it a part
of their day-to-day operations in Japan
there's a big demand for these types of
employees in fact it's such a big thing
that there's a special term for it Yami
B this refers to the Japanese black
market filled with Shady jobs and even
shadier employers the Yami Bao jobs seem
like a dream come true to the average
person although it's high risk it's high
reward and you never even have to
interact face to face with your boss to
many this is the ideal scenario Risa
Yamada was your average 27-year-old
woman like many others Risa was
struggling to find consistent income
growing up in a single parent household
and being stuck between jobs Arisa was
desperate for some sort of Financial
Security which is how she stumbled upon
an interesting yummy Bido advertisement
on X the job seemed simple use your
charm and wit to convince the elderly to
hand over their money so that's what she
did she would fraud the Japanese elderly
out of hundreds and thousands of dollars
by impersonating a police officer but
this is just the tip of the iceberg when
it comes to cyber criminals in Japan
because cases like Reas are common every
day thousands of new employees sign up
for Yami B jobs without understanding
the consequences because they don't see
any risk but the reality is that there's
never a crime without a victim and
Infamous Luffy gang proved that the
Luffy gang was a group of Japanese
criminals with its four ring leaders
based out of the Philippines these
criminals were locked up after their
confirmed involvement with a series of
scam crimes in the Philippines in late
2019 these scams cost Japanese Nationals
over 2 billion yen equivalent to almost
13 million Us in total 36 Japanese
criminals were thrown into a Filipino
jail including the four ring leaders but
even after their arrests they didn't
give up their life of crime instead they
chose to start a new group and continue
their crime spree from jail The
Mastermind behind the group an unnamed
Criminal named Luffy based on the
popular one piece protagonist using
telegram the Luffy gang was able to
recruit and coordinate with hired
accomplices in Japan who helped them
carry out countless robberies throughout
their jail sentence the Luffy gang is
reported to have committed over 50
robberies in 14 different prefectures in
Japan since it was formed their process
was simple step one post an enticing ad
on social media platforms like X or
Instagram these would be titled dark
part-time jobs with each listing missing
a ton of money step two contact all the
potential recruits and add them on
telegram from there take advantage of
the app's encrypted DMS to give them
tasks to do the most common task was
asking hires to pose as police officers
or Financial Service agents once the
accomplices take on this fake role they
contact the victims which are usually
elderly couples single women or other
vulnerable groups they tell the victims
that their bank accounts have been
compromised and that they needed to
schedule a visit to talk things out out
and solve the problem but when they
arrived at their house the Act was
dropped the gang members would steal ATM
cards and other bank documents from
their victims then withdraw all the
money to send to their bosses keeping a
portion for themselves it said the
drivers were paid around
$6,150 while robbers were paid
$6,500 and that's for only one completed
robbery but this gang's crimes got even
worse on February of 2024 four men in
Japan were carrying out the demands of
their Luffy gang bosses but things went
terribly wrong the woman refused to hand
over her belongings and her cards so the
Luffy gang members escalated things and
took them by force the woman ended up
passing away just so that these
criminals could walk away with a hall of
just three luxury watches and a diamond
ring following the public outrage from
this incident police were able to
connect this robbery and a few others
back to the number one ring leader Luffy
a media report says Kyoto imamura was
arrested for allegedly ordering one of
many robberies reported across Japan if
you can pay for services you can
certainly pay for goods the black market
on telegram makes purchasing illegal
items as easy as shopping on Amazon
telegram's unsettling Black Market
police say that telegram is quickly
becoming another goto app for dealers
with so much encryption it's no surprise
that criminals love to use telegram to
conduct under the table deals since no
one can access personal DMS it's easier
for dealers to access Contraband
products through the app telegram
features a black market with thousands
of listings for any item that you could
imagine over the years hundreds of
singaporeans have been caught for their
involvement in telegram crime Rings just
this year 36 people were arrested in
April 2024 for their involvement in the
underground Goods trade on Telegram in a
raid conducted by the central narcotics
Bureau over $199,000 in products were
seized with the main method of
transaction ctions and communication
being over telegram one of these
suspects was a 37-year-old man that had
fled to Soul to conduct most of his
operations according to South Korean
news sources this man's network was so
large that it spanned all parts of Asia
with hotspots in Singapore and Vietnam
with three Associates all of his
business was done using telegram how did
he do it to disguise the goods and avoid
suspicion from border patrol this crime
Lord hid and modified many of his
products into various elect El ronics
and candy that way he was able to
advertise more openly while remaining
discreet because to anyone who isn't a
regular buyer a picture of a pack of
gushers isn't going to raise any alarms
but to those that know what the bags
actually contain they're able to get all
the information they need on a public
listing according to authorities this
operation was able to earn an estimated
250 million W which is roughly
$193,000 in profits alone Charlie Garcia
on the other hand and had a oneman plan
originally from London 48-year-old
Charlie moved to Thailand with a student
visa after realizing that there was a
gap in the market the illegal Goods
Market setting up his base in Chiang
maai Charlie used telegram to conduct
his deals selling to both locals and
tourists alike and for a while he had it
good customers were flowing in and he
became a reputable source for Black
Market Goods but unfortunately this
would be shortlived in early 2024 police
officers in Xiang maai received an
anonymous tip about Charlie and his
unconventional job so they decided to go
undercover and investigate posing as a
potential customer officers set up a
meeting with Charlie at a local weed
shop pretending that they wanted to buy
stronger items after the sale was
completed the rest of the force which
were stationed outside stormed in and
arrested him after the arrest police
conducted a search on Charlie's room
which is where they found a hall with
hundreds of grams amongst other items
even after getting caught red-handed
Charlie tried to deflect the blame
telling the police officers he got it
all from a tourist but an investigation
into his telegram account proved that to
be nothing more than a lie for his
crimes Charlie is at risk of facing the
death penalty or at the very least life
imprisonment so far we've talked about
telegram's criminal underworld but I'm
telling you none of these even come
close to what's next the market for
Wicked
interests telegram is like the dark web
without the need of a third-party
browser you can find the most
gut-wrenching stuff on there if you know
the right people or are willing to pay
the right price then he suggested that I
create a account on Telegram and he
would get me into the
group a private group where more Extreme
videos are being bought and traded While
most of us love and adore animals some
have ulterior motives for a different
kind of fascination with them a twisted
one these individuals have found
telegram to be a gathering place for
them to openly discuss their dark
desires or even act them out in 2023 the
world ser exposed hundreds of customers
around the world who were paying a group
of Indonesians to film themselves
performing certain actions on baby
monkeys this Infamous crime ring first
started on YouTube but then moved to
telegram after the founders realized
that there were people willing to Fork
up a ton of money for them to perform
special requests BBC sent several
journalists to go undercover in these
group chats and what they found was
shocking there were countless people
actively participating in these chats
the operation grew so large the dealers
began operating not just in China but
also in the United States some people
weren't initially interested in this
business they simply recognized a demand
and realized that they could make a lot
of money by connecting with the right
sellers every video that popped up I
clicked it put it in a file why cuz
every file came with a dollar sign to me
even esteemed animal experts have been
exposed for their participation in these
rings in September 2023 famous
Australian zoologist Adam Britain fa
charges related to his treatment of
animals this news came as a huge shock
to the public because Adam is a renowned
crocodile specialist who was seen by
most as an animal lover but behind the
scenes he was sharing disturbing content
that he filmed on telegram some of these
group chats had over 1,000 members in
them and there are more of them than
investigators could even count but
that's not even the most horrific part
of this because these acts were also
carried out on humans
in 2020 the entirety of South Korea was
shocked to its core when news broke out
about the evil enth room and doctor's
room a private telegram cyber crime ring
that had over
260,000 members the main purpose of the
enth room to pressure young Korean women
film dark content of them and then hide
the videos behind Hefty pay walls
although there were thousands of members
there were two masterminds behind the
whole thing choju bin and moon hyong W
choju bin went by the online Alias
doctor while Moon hyong W went by the
name God God together they created a
series of disturbing chat rooms to
conduct their business operations but
how exactly did these two men managed to
create a cyber crime ring that was this
large it all started out when God God
discovered a Twitter account of a girl
who posted provocative photos God God
then pretended to be a police officer
and sent her a DM saying that her
pictures had been leaked and he needed
her personal information so that the
police department could start an
investigation after getting their
private information he would reveal his
true identity and begin to pressure them
God God would coers these individuals
into creating personal photos and videos
for his profit charging High fees to
share this content in his chat rooms
doctor on the other hand used different
tactics he posted deceptive job listings
promising high-paying part-time
opportunities in fields like modeling
and Retail positions that would attract
Young Job Seekers then he would do the
same as God God did and if they didn't
cooperate there were consequences
thousands of men are going to see this
victim's home address her full
government name all of her details her
work address everything it said that
there was a confirmed number of at least
103 people who were victims of these
chat rooms but when these chat rooms hit
the deadlines although most people were
disgusted some saw this as inspiration
Chinese cyber criminals created their
own version of this employing the same
tactics let these cases be a reminder
that the internet can be a dark place
but behind every scam are people working
hard to stop them but with an
overwhelming amount of content like this
