Telegram Premium gift subscription scam | Kaspersky official blog
- Telegram Premium subscription is a gift that you can present to your friends.
- Scammers are exploiting the Telegram Premium gift subscription feature by sending out fake gift subscriptions.
- The scam starts with an innocent-looking Telegram message that contains a phishing link.
- The phishing link leads to a fake Telegram login page that steals your login details.
- The scammers display a congratulatory message on stealing your login credentials and start a 24-hour timer for activation of the subscription which never materializes.
- Several similar scams have emerged, like-hosting a free raffle for Telegram Premium subscription and distributing APK files for supposedly "hacked" Telegram apps.
- Scammers operate all over the world with the same schemes and, in case of doubt, only purchase subscriptions through official channels.
- Enable two-factor authentication for secure login into the Telegram account.
- Be cautious of alternative versions of apps and learn about the other ways scammers can steal your Telegram account.
- Take your time, even if being pressurized by the scammers with timers. It is better to err on the side of excessive caution.
